INDUSTRIEKULTUR Café special at Jödebrunnen: Experience Braunschweig's history at Kontorhaus

A historical evening at Jödebrunnen: Experience industrial culture up close

On June 16, 2026, the INDUSTRIEKULTUR Café special invites you to a guided discovery tour at the Kontorhaus at Jödebrunnen in Braunschweig. Between 18:00 and 20:15, a special view unfolds on an ensemble that impressively connects city history, technology, and industrial culture.

Where Braunschweig's history becomes tangible

The Kontorhaus at Jödebrunnen was built in 1899 as an office for a wood trading company and is located in close proximity to one of the most striking historical sites of the city. The Jödebrunnen itself has been mentioned since 1345 and shaped the drinking water supply of Braunschweig for centuries. This very connection of architectural monument, water history, and industrial heritage makes the tour so exciting.

A tour with atmosphere and anecdotes

Those who attend this evening will experience not a dry history chapter, but a lively event experience filled with many details, stories, and historical references. Harald Schweingruber and Friedrich Wilhelm Mengedoht guide you through the ensemble and make visible how closely the site is linked to the development of the western ring area and the Westbahnhof.

Industrial culture that stays in memory

The Kontorhaus today is more than a monument. It represents lived memory culture, event planning with substance, and a target audience approach that appeals to both history enthusiasts and people who want to rediscover Braunschweig. The tour combines expert knowledge with vivid storytelling and offers an approachable access to the city’s industrial culture.

What visitors can expect

The evening is aimed at everyone who wants to experience history at the original site. Participation is free, and the tour begins directly at the Kontorhaus at Jödebrunnen. An atmospheric location, a knowledgeable guide, and genuine city history make this offer a strong entry in Braunschweig's event calendar.

Conclusion: The INDUSTRIEKULTUR Café special promises an informative, vivid, and atmospheric evening in the spirit of Braunschweig's industrial culture. Those who want to not just read about history but experience it should mark this date live.
