Braunschweig's History to Touch at the Old Town Hall
This public guided tour at the Municipal Museum Braunschweig takes guests on a lively journey through the Lion City. In the historical Old Town Hall at the Old Town Market, city history merges with authentic atmosphere: from the early beginnings through medieval power centers to the present day.
A House that Tells Braunschweig's Past
The Old Town Hall is one of the significant medieval buildings in Germany and shapes the Old Town Market with its historical presence. In the vaults and on the ground floor, the museum presents a permanent exhibition on the history of the city of Braunschweig. Those who enter here experience history not just as information but as a cultural enrichment, focusing on architectural details, symbols of power, and the development of the urban society.
Historical Rooms with Special Impact
The tour opens up views of the Great Dornse, once a meeting and representation space for the council, as well as traces left by the town hall over the centuries. The proximity to St. Martin's Church, the gothic arcades, and the old market location provide an impressive backdrop for the tour. Especially for visitors who want to discover Braunschweig's local history and the cultural heritage of the Old Town, an intense tour experience is created here.
What Guests Can Expect
The volunteer staff of the museum convey city history vividly and accessibly. The public tour takes place on Saturdays at 3:00 PM and lasts about 90 minutes. Registration is not necessary for up to five people, and entry is free. This makes the offer ideal for culture-interested individuals, couples, and small groups who want to experience Braunschweig beyond the well-known sights.
Practical Visit in the City Center
The event location is centrally located at Altstadtmarkt 7 in the city center. The location is well connected to public transport and also accessible with parking options in Braunschweig city center. Please note that from June 22, 2026, to August 11, 2026, not all parts of the museum are barrier-free due to the renewal of the lift system.
Anyone who wants to experience Braunschweig's history in a compact, well-founded, and atmospheric way will find a convincing guided tour with real added value here. Secure your spot and discover the Lion City from its beginnings to the present day.
