A Place Where City History Becomes Tangible
The Old Town Hall at the Old Town Market is one of the most prominent historical addresses in Braunschweig. Here, architecture meets memory: The building ensemble at the market is one of the most significant urban spaces of the Lion City, and the museum rooms make the development of the city from the Middle Ages to modern times vividly experiential. Particularly impressive are the exhibits from the reign of Henry the Lion, the first city seal, and the historical city model.

From the Beginnings to Industrial Modernity
The tour connects local history with cultural heritage and leads through the political, economic, and social layers of Braunschweig. In the exhibition areas, visitors encounter a city composed of medieval structures, civic self-government, and later industrial history. This makes the tour a cultural enrichment for guests who want to not just see Braunschweig but understand it.
