An Exhibit that Makes Braunschweig's History Visible

At the center is the reproduction of the so-called Magniurkund, that early written mention of Braunschweig, which is displayed in the Old Town Hall. The lecture places the exhibit in the context of the history of the Saxon noble family of the Brunones and shows how closely the founding of the city, rule, and family politics were intertwined. Thus, a literary and academically precise access to regional power relations emerges, which goes far beyond mere data collection.
