More than just a side note - Women at the Braunschweig Court at the Castle Museum Braunschweig

Rediscovering Women at the Braunschweig Court

This public guided tour at the Braunschweig Castle Museum takes you right into the world of the Welfs. On September 17, 2026, a tour will focus on those women who influenced court life, education, music, and construction projects much more than their historical marginal status suggests.

A glimpse behind the opulent facades

The event aims for a clever interplay of history, atmosphere, and vivid communication. Instead of dry numbers and data, a lively event experience emerges, showcasing the court as a place of influence, responsibility, and room for maneuver. Names like Philippine Charlotte or Augusta of Great Britain represent women who forged networks, set impulses, and shaped power relations.

Experiencing history at the Castle Museum

The authentic location noticeably enhances the audience's mood: the Castle Museum conveys the history of the Braunschweig residence palace directly within the reconstructed palace complex. Those who walk through the rooms experience historical insights where they belong — in an ambiance that makes the courtly past tangible. The tour is ideal for all who appreciate culture, museum experiences, and regional history in a compact format.

Compact, personal, and with limited participants

The tour lasts one hour and focuses on a personal format with a clear target audience. The number of participants is limited, and registration is required; spontaneous participation is only possible if there are remaining spots available. This creates a concentrated experience that combines knowledge, proximity, and opportunities for conversation.

Conclusion

This tour demonstrates how exciting court history can be when women are not portrayed as a side note but as influential players. Anyone wanting to experience Braunschweig's history in a dense, vivid form should attend this event at the Braunschweig Castle Museum live.
