His tours focus on special sites such as cemeteries, relying on solid knowledge, vivid storytelling, and a clear perspective on historical contexts.
The Main Cemetery as a Reflection of Urban Development
The Main Cemetery on Helmstedter Straße was planned in 1884 and opened in 1887; it is one of the large ecclesiastical burial sites in the city and is managed by the Protestant-Lutheran Church Association Braunschweig. The round trip across the grounds passes notable stations, including mausoleums, sculptures, and graves shaped by the cultural and intellectual history of the 19th and 20th centuries. Thus, the walk becomes an impressive city tour of Braunschweig's past.
A Quiet Walk with Depth
The tour lasts about 1.5 hours and is aimed at all who want to experience history not just by reading but on-site. The meeting point is located directly at the Main Cemetery Braunschweig, Helmstedter Straße 38, 38126 Braunschweig.
