Fairy Tales at Dowesee: Enchanting Stories for Families in Braunschweig

Fairy Tale Magic at Dowesee: a family experience full of fantasy

On June 28, 2026, the School and Community Garden Dowesee in Braunschweig transforms into a place full of stories, voices, and magic. At Fairy Tales at Dowesee, children and adults experience two short fairy tale narrations in a relaxed garden atmosphere. The event is free and is aimed at families who want to combine quality time, learning fun, and lively imagination.

An afternoon that takes children into the world of fairy tales

The narrations begin at 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM, each lasting for 30 minutes. Kathrin Bißmeier tells fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm accompanied by her kantele. Which story will be told remains a little secret. It is precisely this moment of curiosity that makes it appealing for families: children listen intently, discover characters from old tales, and dive together with adults into a lively reading world.

Why Dowesee is particularly good for families

The School and Community Garden at Dowesee is a historic green space of 9.07 hectares with an educational background and the location of the Regional Environmental Education Center - Biological Station - at Dowesee. The city of Braunschweig describes the site as a place where nature-related teaching content is combined with educational goals. This creates an environment for families that is not only beautiful but also child-friendly and supportive of learning.

Practical information for parents

The event location is at Doweseeweg 3 in 38112 Braunschweig. According to the event page, the fairy tale offering takes place at the roundel near the oak trees, and in bad weather, in the pavilion. This is well-suited for families looking for a quiet, manageable setting with some weather protection. The School and Community Garden is open during the day and has public parking available on Arminiusstraße and at the Dowesee parking lot at Ohefeld; it is also accessible by public transport. Dogs and cycling are not allowed in the garden. ([braunschweig.die-region.de](https://braunschweig.die-region.de/veranstaltungen-detailseite/event/101235914/maerchen-am-dowesee/))

For families, this means: short distances, clear orientation, and a nature-oriented experience with a calm atmosphere. This is ideal for children who prefer to hear stories outdoors and need enough space for movement and wonder. ([kulturunterglas.de](https://www.kulturunterglas.de/?utm_source=openai))
