On Sunday, September 13, 2026, the Burg der Schlaraffia Brunsviga e. V. at Hochstraße 21 opens its doors for registered guests and invites them to a special house tour through a piece of Braunschweig's cultural history. The guided tour leads into the Okerburg, the former foundry of the Howaldt workshop, which has been used by the Schlaraffia Brunsviga association since 1912. The tours last about 30 minutes and take place between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM; entrance is free.

A Monument with Industrial History and Character

Here, foundry, architecture, and club life meet in close quarters. Among other things, the Lessing Monument and the equestrian statues in front of the Braunschweig Castle were created in this place. The building has been remodeled several times over the decades, damaged in World War II, and later restored. Today, the Okerburg, with its distinctive silhouette, serves as a small urban landmark in the eastern ring area.
