With the Old Town Hall through 800 Years of Braunschweig City History

This guided tour in the Old Town Hall opens up the view of Braunschweig as a historical city with a strong character, significant architecture, and a city history that influences the present. In the vault of the Old Town Hall, visitors encounter the development of the Lion City from its medieval beginnings to modern times.

A Place Where History Becomes Tangible

The Old Town Hall is one of the most significant medieval secular buildings in Germany. Its construction phases, the Gothic arcades, and the historical Dornse create an atmosphere in which urban development, council culture, and civic self-awareness come to life. The tour combines architecture, local history, and cultural heritage into a vivid discovery experience.

City History between the Hanseatic League, Residence, and Modernity

The permanent exhibition in the Old Town Hall tells how Braunschweig developed into a politically self-aware Hanseatic city in the Middle Ages. Highlights such as artifacts from the time of Henry the Lion, the city's first seal, and the state coat of arms of the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg make historical connections tangible. The development after 1671, when Braunschweig became a residence city, is also one of the defining chapters of this tour.
