Dirk Schaper in Braunschweig: Lecture about the Brunonians in the Old Town Hall

When Braunschweig's Prehistory Comes Alive

At the Old Town Hall of Braunschweig, a lecture brings to light the dynasty that was central to the early history of the city: the Brunonians. Dirk Schaper opens a historical view on power, origin, and the role of women in a time whose traces still resonate in the urban space, with the exhibit of the month. The event is announced as a free lecture in the museum context and takes place in the Kleine Dornse of the Old Town Hall.

Historical Trace Exploration between Oker and Old Market

Those interested in urban history, regional identity, and cultural historical research will experience a pointed reading in the broader sense: a lecture that brings together sources, objects, and interpretations. The focus is on the Magniurkunde as a reproduction in the Old Town Hall, alongside the question of how the Brunonians became a regional power and which women played a crucial role in this web of property, inheritance, and rule. This format is part of the Exhibit of the Month series of the Braunschweig City Museum.

Location with Historical Aura

The Old Town Hall at Altstadtmarkt 7 is located in the heart of Braunschweig's Old Town and is part of the Braunschweig City Museum. The building is a place with a dense atmosphere, where the museum presentation and historical architecture enhance the impact of the lecture. At the same time, the city of Braunschweig points out that due to the renewal of the elevator system in the Old Town Hall from June 22, 2026, to August 11, 2026, not all areas are accessible.

Who Will Find This Lecture Particularly Appealing
