Braunschweig is a city in the German state of Lower Saxony, and it is beautifully situated on the river Oker in the area north of the Harz mountain range. The city is known from the 11th century, and over the centuries it has been an important capital in various state formations. Braunschweig was also a member of the Hanseatic League, and this contributed to the city’s development towards the present day and to the sights you can see today.
Before the Second World War, Braunschweig was characterized by the many half-timbered houses, but the majority of these and other buildings in the center were unfortunately destroyed in 1944. Fortunately, parts of the old urban environment have been preserved, so that you can feel both the old and the modern Braunschweig during a visit to the city, where you can explore many cozy streets and squares in the center.
Burgplatz is a central square for Braunschweig’s history, and you should take a walk here. On the Burgplatz you can see the reconstructed princely palace of Henry the Lion, Burg Dankwarderode, and the city’s cathedral, which Henry the Lion built. Henry died in Braunschweig in 1195, and he is buried in the church. On the square you can also visit the regional museum and have a look at the city’s neo-Gothic town hall from the end of the 19th century.
The squares Altstadtmarkt and Kohlmarkt are also worth seeing with Braunschweig’s Old Town Hall and Gewandhaus as interesting buildings. You should also go for a walk in the Magniviertel quarter, which exudes historic Braunschweig and where the famous Rizzi-Haus stands. On the way to Magniviertel, you can see the impressive facade of Braunschweig Castle, which was the residence of the city’s dukes in the years 1753-1918.
Hannover is the capital of the German federal state of Lower Saxony, and it is also a city of culture, trade and a regional economic center with many interesting sights. Many will know the old royal residence from the modern town center around Kröpcke with the famous Kröpcke clock and the large Schloss Herrenhauser with the world-famous baroque garden as well.
The old town in Hanover is full of idyllic streets and cozy squares. Historically, the district consisted mainly of old half-timbered houses, and these are today best seen around the streets Kramerstraße and Burgstraße, which are close to the city’s old town hall and the three old churches in the Altstadt district, Marktkirche Aegidienkirche and Kreuzkirche.
Magdeburg is beautifully situated on the banks of the river Elbe and is a city with many sights, beautiful parks and a rich history that can be seen and experienced in several places in the center. The city is of course also known for the Magdeburg Rights, which was a collection of city laws with great influence on the government of many European cities.
The cathedral dominates Magdeburg’s skyline, and it is one of the city’s most famous buildings. The church was founded by the Holy Roman Emperor Otto I, who is today buried in the cathedral. He established Magdeburg as the first capital of the German territory, and it added status and development in Magdeburg through the centuries.
