Der Rattenfänger von Hameln (known as The Pied Piper of Hamelin in English) refers to the famous medieval story about a tragedy that befell the town of Hameln (Hamelin in English) in the 13th century, as well as the various dramatised versions of the tale.

It was made popular throughout the world through the folk version written by the Brothers Grimm ; The tale also served as the subject of well-known poems by Johan van Goethe and Robert Browning. In Hameln, every Sunday, the tale is performed by actors in the town centre on every Suday during summer.
