Discover the rich history of Braunschweig on a private walking tour where you'll see the city's main highlights. Learn about the city's medieval past, how it became a significant trading hub and get an insight into the city's more recent history, including the destruction caused by the Second World War.
Situated at the crossroads of major trade routes and a key member of the Hanseatic League, Braunschweig played a vital role in medieval Germany. It was the capital of Duke Henry the Lion of the House of Welf's state during the Middle Ages, which solidified its importance in the region.
The history of Braunschweig is filled with exciting tales of royalty and nobility. After marrying Matilda of England, the sister of Richard the Lionheart, Duke Henry the Lion adopted the lion as the city's emblem, forging a connection between the city and the royal family of England. You can still see this emblem on the city's coat of arms today!
However, the Second World War took its toll on Braunschweig, and much of the medieval city center was destroyed. Only a handful of the over 800 timber-framed houses survived. Despite this devastation, the city has been rebuilt and restored, and it still exudes a unique charm.
As you stroll through the streets, your guide will share these stories and more. With so much to see, this walking tour is the perfect way to explore Braunschweig's fascinating history.
