The starting point is the picturesque Magniviertel. Passing the unique Rizzi House, the first stop is in front of the Braunschweig Residenzschloss. From there, we continue to the Platz der Deutschen Einheit. Our tour then takes us via the Burgplatz, with Braunschweig’s landmark, the lion, the Dankwarder.
At the end of the tour, we will visit the historic square at the Martini Church and the historic Old Town Market together.
On our tour we bring the fascinating medieval Braunschweig back to life. Join us to discover unique, long-vanished half-timbered houses, medieval market squares, and an ancient battlement. We’ll follow in the footsteps of wealthy patrician families and hardworking butchers. And we’ll learn where the Brunswick executioner lived and what he had to do with the “oldest profession” in the world.
Our walk begins at Bäckerklint. We then pass the venerable Martino Katharineum Gymnasium, cross the Altstadtmarkt and Eiermarkt, and then through Knochenhauerstraße into the picturesque Michaelisviertel.
Discover Braunschweig’s traditional island of St. Aegidien. Hard to believe, but true: over 900 years ago, the impressive Margravine Gertrud of Saxony, the last Brunonin, founded a Benedictine monastery here.
But St. Aegidien is more than just an old monastery district. We’ll tell you about Louis Spohr, the world-famous composer who took his first musical steps here. And about Ephraim Lessing, the great writer and Enlightenment philosopher who pondered tolerance, reason, and humanity nearby. Step by step, we’ll discover what makes this traditional part of Braunschweig so special. Together, we’ll bring history to life – vibrant, charming, and full of exciting discoveries.
Together we’ll explore the traces this dark era of history left behind in the 1930th/1940th in our city. Braunschweig was the scene of great destruction, profound changes, and events that are still visible and tangible today in buildings, streets, and stories.
On our tour, we want to not only shed light on the historical facts, but also remember the people and fates who lived, suffered and resisted here during these years.
Let us work together to examine this depressing period in the city’s history in order to understand it and remember it.
