On our tour, we not only want to shed light on historical facts, but also remember the people who lived, suffered and resisted here during those years. Let us work together to come to terms with a piece of history in order to understand it and keep it in our memories.
Right in the heart of Braunschweig, at the historic Altstadtmarkt, stands an impressive landmark of the city: St. Martin’s Church. If you want to embark on a journey through the centuries, you can’t miss this historic building. The church not only tells of faith and architecture, but also of the people who have shaped Braunschweig.
The origins of St. Martini Church date back to the 12th century. Built as a Romanesque basilica, it was extended and rebuilt several times over the centuries. The Gothic influence is unmistakable: the mighty towers and the magnificent pointed arches bear witness to an architectural heyday that helped shape Braunschweig as a trading city.
Auf unserem Rundgang lassen wir das faszinierende mittelalterliche Braunschweig wieder lebendig werden.
Entdecken Sie mit uns einzigartige, längst verschwundene Fachwerkhäuser, mittelalterliche Marktplätze und einen uralten Wehrgang. Wir begeben uns auf die Spuren reicher Patrizierfamilien und hart arbeitender Knochenhauer. Und wir erfahren, wo der Braunschweiger Scharfrichter wohnte und was er mit dem “ältesten Gewerbe” der Welt zu tun hatte.
Unser Spaziergang startet am Bäckerklint. Danach geht es vorbei am altehrwürdigen Gymnasium Martino Katharineum, über den Altstadt- und Eiermarkt, durch die Knochenhauerstraße ins malerische Michaelisviertel.
Auch wenn man bei Hanse in erster Linie an Hamburg, Lübeck oder Bremen denkt, spielte Braunschweig schon immer eine wichtige Rolle in dem mächtigen Handelsbund des Mittelalters. Mit unserem Stadtrundgang, den wir derzeit konzipieren, nehmen wir Sie mit auf eine spannende Reise durch die Hansegeschichte Braunschweigs. Interessante Inhalte werden u.a. sein:
2027 wird Braunschweig Gastgeber des Internationalen Hansetages sein. Höchste Zeit, denn der letzte Europäische Hansetag in Braunschweig fand 1427 statt, also vor genau 600! Jahren. Ganz Europa zu Gast in Braunschweig, wir freuen uns darauf.
