How Mobility Has Shaped the Braunschweig Region
The INDUSTRIEKULTUR Café invites you on November 17, 2026, to an exciting journey through the cultural and mobility history of the Braunschweig region. The focus will be on historical paths, transport systems, media representations, and the question of how movement changes the perception of space, time, and regional identity.
From Horse and Plow to Volkswagen
The journalist and cultural historian Uwe Day connects regional history with major societal developments. His expedition leads from pre-modern travel experiences to the Braunschweig state railway, to tourist worldviews, nationally shaped mental maps, and the mobility desires of the 20th century.
History Becomes a Vivid Narrative
The audience encounters Herman Bote's Eulenspiegel, Knigge's journey to Braunschweig, the Diercke Atlas, and the Volkswagen as a symbol of West German modernity. The role of media, architecture, and transport in the emergence of regional and national identity will also be discussed.
An Evening for Culture and History Enthusiasts
The event combines lecture, cultural historical context, and regional exploration. A concentrated event atmosphere in the Silberquelle creates the right framework for questions about mobility, technology, memory, and the transformation of the Braunschweig region. The Forum Industriekultur e. V. thus continues its series of events on industrial culture with an informative and engaging approach to target audiences.
What Visitors Can Expect
Visitors will experience an evening full of surprising connections: between travel and media, railway and identity, tourism and political worldviews, as well as between the Braunschweig car skyscraper and the American dream. Admission is free.
Those wishing to discover regional history from a new perspective will experience a knowledgeable and vibrant event at the INDUSTRIEKULTUR Café. Mark the date now and explore the cultural and mobility history of the Braunschweig region live.
