From the Entrance Hall to the Magazine
Those who know city libraries only as borrowing places will experience a real discovery here. Across four floors, the Braunschweig City Library unfolds its extensive media offerings and shows how lively cultural heritage can act in a modern library. The city describes the institution as one of the largest municipal libraries in Lower Saxony with around 650,000 media and over 8,000 square meters of space.

Historical Treasures Hidden Away
A particularly appealing aspect is the glimpse into the historical collection. The tour focuses on those areas that visitors rarely see in everyday life: magazine, workshop, and the places where knowledge is preserved, maintained, and made accessible for future generations. The library itself refers to its historical collection and systematic collection development since 1861.
