The historical city walk with Tom or Tobi through the city centre provides an insight into the exciting and eventful history of the Lion City. Braunschweig was first mentioned in documents almost 1,000 years ago and around 850 years ago, Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony and Bavaria, and his wife Mathilde of England made the city their residence. We stroll through medieval streets and discover the traces of the Hanseatic merchants and the Guelphs who shaped Braunschweig over the centuries in historical places.
The starting point is the picturesque Magniviertel. The first stop takes us past the unique Rizzi House in front of the Braunschweig Residential Palace. From there we continue to the German Unity Square. Our tour then takes us across Burgplatz with Braunschweig's landmark, the lion, Dankwarderode Castle and St. Blasii Cathedral. Past the Ringerbrunnen we continue to the lively Kohlmarkt. At the end of the tour, we visit the historic square at the Martinikirche and the historic old town market together.
