Experience Braunschweig's city history anew at the Old Town Hall

Experience Braunschweig's history where it remains alive

At the Old Town Hall, a special discovery experience opens up for all who want to not just see Braunschweig but understand it. The public tour of the city's history leads through the permanent exhibition of the Municipal Museum and tells the story from the beginnings of the city to the present - right in the heart of the Old Town Market.

A place with historical radiance

The Old Town Hall is one of the most significant medieval town halls in Germany. Its architecture, the historic Dornse, and the rooms of city history create an impressive backdrop for a city tour that connects cultural heritage and local history.

From Henry the Lion to the modern city

The exhibition at the Old Town Hall showcases key stages of Braunschweig's development: early town days, princely representation, municipal self-administration, and historical testimonies from several centuries. Highlights include objects from the time of Henry the Lion, the city's first seal, and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, according to the City of Braunschweig.

Practical tour with clear advantages

The public tour is offered by volunteers from the museum and takes place regularly on Saturdays at 3 PM. Participation is free of charge, and registration is not required for up to five people. Those who want to experience Braunschweig compactly, thoroughly, and atmospherically will receive a high-quality visit with real added value.

Meeting point with city center flair

The Old Town Market is centrally located in the Braunschweig city center and is easy to integrate into a city stroll. For travel, there are parking garages and P+R options with tram and bus connections available in the city center. Currently, the museum also points out a renewal of the elevator system; therefore, not all areas of the building are accessible during the mentioned period.

Conclusion

This tour is a cultural enrichment for guests who want to experience Braunschweig in its entirety. History, architecture, and urban space interlink here. Those who want to discover the Lion City with new eyes should mark this date early and book the tour.
