Templar Knights, City Model, and the Great Trace Search at the Old Town Hall

In August, the City Museum Braunschweig invites you to a lecture series that combines historical curiosity with local memory culture. Under the title Templar Knights at Bohlweg? A Trace Search, Dr. Harald Rieseler takes the audience into the world of spiritual knightly orders and asks which traces can still be recognized in Braunschweig and its surroundings today.

A Lecture Between Science and City Exploration

The perspective ranges from the founding of the Templar Order around 1120 through its dissolution in 1312 to the historical connections of the city of Braunschweig. This opens up not a dry archival text, but a vibrant piece of city history that brings together medieval history, historical research, and vivid communication.

The Historical City Model as a Starting Point

The exhibit of the month is the historical city model at the Old Town Hall. Right there, in the Kleine Dornse, the lecture unfolds its special reading atmosphere: a place where space, object, and narrative intertwine, making a trace search a literarily dense historical journey. Those interested in cultural history, the Middle Ages, urban development, and museum communication will experience a precise and simultaneously inspiring format here.

Free Admission, Culture with Open Access

Particularly attractive: Admission is free. This makes the afternoon a low-threshold cultural event for anyone wishing to learn about Braunschweig's history from a new perspective. The event is aimed at history enthusiasts, museum-goers, and people who enjoy following thought trails in atmospheric lectures.

Conclusion

The lecture series promises a clever, vivid, and easily accessible look at medieval authority and local history. Anyone wanting to experience Braunschweig as a cultural memory space should not miss this event at the Old Town Hall and follow the trace search live.
