Rediscover Prinzenpark, Nußberg and the Braunschweiger Axis

Discover Braunschweig's green axis between park landscape and city history

On October 16, 2026, this informative city tour takes you through the Prinzenpark, to Nußberg, and along the historical Braunschweiger Axis. Among extensive green spaces, geological features, and visible traces of city history, a multifaceted discovery experience awaits for those who want to get to know Braunschweig from a new perspective.

The Prinzenpark as a historical park landscape

The focus of the tour is the Prinzenpark, whose design was planned early on and implemented at the end of the 19th century under Regent Prince Albrecht. The park combines recreation, landscape architecture, and local history. The walk makes visible how Braunschweig's urban development is reflected in pathways, open spaces, and historical references.

Nußberg and the building material Rogenstein

Nußberg tells of a time when geology and urban construction were closely intertwined. For centuries, the ridge played an important role in the extraction of the building material Rogenstein. Since Nußberg belonged to the Riddagshausen monastery, its use repeatedly led to conflicts. These connections make the site an impressive example of the link between natural space, economic history, and cultural heritage.

Geology and the Braunschweiger Axis

Another focus is on the geological feature of Nußberg and its continuation in the Braunschweiger Axis. Geological processes, glacial influences, and rising salt stones shape the landscape around Braunschweig. The tour thus opens the view to hidden structures beneath the paths and park areas, connecting natural history with city history.

Historical traces up to the present

The use of Nußberg during the Nazi era is still clearly visible today. The city tour places these traces within the development of Braunschweig and shows how political history, landscape, and urban planning overlap. Thus, history is not only narrated but also made tangible at specific locations and in the immediate urban space.

Conclusion: Experience Braunschweig with sharpened perspective

The approximately 90-minute tour combines park idyll, architecture, geology, and local history into a cultural enrichment outdoors. Participants discover the Prinzenpark, Nußberg, and the Braunschweiger Axis as a cohesive experience space and learn what forces have shaped the urban landscape. Secure your spot and experience Braunschweig on a special city tour full of historical and geological discoveries.
