A Journey Through Braunschweig's History at the Old Town Hall

History You Can Feel in the Vaults of the Old Town Hall
The exhibition on the ground floor and in the historical vaulted cellars shows how Braunschweig evolved from a self-assured Hanseatic city to a shaping cultural and residence city. Highlights include artifacts from the time of Henry the Lion, the city's first seal, and impressive objects from the city's and lordship's history.
