Film of the Week in Braunschweig: Historical Images at the Old Town Hall

A glimpse into Braunschweig's tumultuous history

The Film of the Week at the Old Town Hall takes you right into Braunschweig's past: With the historical film “Braunschweig 1945 – Bombing, Liberation, Life in Ruins” and other works from the series “Original Films from the History of Braunschweig”, a rich event experience emerges between remembrance, urban history, and impressive archival work.

Historical images that resonate

The screening combines documentary impressions with the unique atmosphere of the museum space. Especially in the Old Town Hall, this format unfolds its effect: The location enhances the audience's mood, while the films make Braunschweig's end of the war, everyday life in ruins, and the long road back to life tangible. The result is not an ordinary cinema evening, but an intense historical afternoon.

A format with educational value

The series is organized by the Municipal Museum Braunschweig in collaboration with the Friends of the Museum. Volunteers present the original films, which come from the rich archive of Braunschweig's urban history. At the start, a pre-selected film is shown, followed by visitors choosing additional films from the series. This creates a lively, dialogue-oriented event experience focused on education, culture of remembrance, and regional identity.

Why a visit is worthwhile

Anyone interested in Braunschweig's urban history, historical films, and cultural events will find a calm, focused format with a strong connection to the Lion City. The film series appeals to history enthusiasts as well as museum guests who are excited about local archival treasures and the atmosphere of a special cultural venue.

The event is free of charge and takes place at the Old Town Hall. A visit is worthwhile for all who want to experience Braunschweig from the perspective of moving images and authentic historical documents.
