Philippine Charlotte and Braunschweig: A Historical Network Becomes Visible
How closely were court culture, political decisions, and personal relationships intertwined in the 18th century? The exhibition at the Schlossmuseum Braunschweig is dedicated to the network of Princess Philippine Charlotte of Prussia and offers a multifaceted view of the cultural and political significance of Braunschweig in this era.
Letters as Windows into the Courtly World
Centrally featured is Philippine Charlotte of Prussia (1716–1801), Duchess of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel and sister of Frederick II the Great. Her letters provide insights into life at European courts and reveal how personal contacts, family connections, and diplomatic relations intertwine.
Culture, Politics, and Daily Life in the 18th Century
The presentation connects major historical themes with specific areas of life. Marriages and political negotiations intersect with art and literature, issues of medicine, financial administration, and warfare. This creates a dense portrait of a time when Braunschweig, as a residence city, had an impact far beyond the region.

In the reconstructed residence castle, representative rooms, historical furniture, paintings, and art objects narrate the eventful history of the place.
