Research and portraits on Braunschweig's art and city history demonstrate her long-standing engagement with regional topics, including architecture, culture, and places of remembrance. This experience also shapes the reading at Cathedral Square and makes it particularly exciting for culture-interested visitors.

What to expect for visitors
