Experience Braunschweig's City History where it all began
This tour in the Old Town Hall opens the view on Braunschweig as a grown Hanseatic and residence city, whose traces go back to the 9th century. In the historic vault of the City Museum, a compact discovery experience unfolds with local history, architectural atmosphere, and cultural depth.
A place where history becomes tangible
The Old Town Hall is one of the most significant medieval town halls in Germany. Its construction phases date back to the 13th century, and the distinctive arcades and pillar figures continue to shape the image of the Old Town Market today. Right here, the tour connects urban development, council history, and the identity of Braunschweig into a lively walk.
From the Origins of the City to the Present
The tour follows the major lines of Braunschweig's history: from the early beginnings to the medieval trading town to its development as a residence and industrial city. In the historic rooms, visitors encounter exhibition objects, a city model, and the traces of those epochs that have shaped Braunschweig.
Insight into the Cultural Heritage of the Lion City
Particularly impressive are the historic vaults that carry the events of the city like a time capsule. The museum in the Old Town Hall showcases the history of the city of Braunschweig since its founding and makes visible how closely architecture and collective memory are linked. This results in a city tour with high cultural-historical added value.
Meeting Point with Best Orientation
The meeting point at the Old Town Hall is located directly at the Old Town Market in the heart of the city center. This facilitates access by public transport and makes the visit particularly pleasant for guests who want to explore Braunschweig on foot. The historical surroundings with Martini Church, market, and town hall already create a dense old town atmosphere before the start.
