Of hearts and lions - Braunschweig

by sabsi - last update: Jun 1, 2003

At Braunschweig cathedral
Braunschweig, Lower Saxony's 2nd largest city - is only half an hour away from Hannover and still I never really visited this place. Now my friend has moved here so I visited her recently and we explored the city together. There's a cathedral, a castle and a nice old town here.
Rizzi House, Braunschweig
My favourite parts, however, are the following:

James Rizzi designed a building in Braunschweig which is definitely a must see. I spent ages here admiring the facade with its faces and hearts, strangly shaped windows and colours. Wonderful!
My 2nd favourite part of Braunschweig was to sit in a beergarden at the bank of the river Oker. A quiet place in the shadow... you can watch boats passing by for ages here. Very relaxing!

Pros:"Lovely old house and riverside, great Rizzi house"
Cons:"A bit small and boring apparently"
In A Nutshell:"Nice day trip destination"

 Rizzi Haus sieht ja toll aus! Haven't been here since childhood. Maybe worth another daytrip from WOB...hehe.

 You have a page for everywhere :-) My brother is getting married here in August this year. And i'm the Best Man so I think I need to get my German-English dictionary out for the speech ;-)

 One of the new guys here comes from Braunschweig. Last week I could barely pronounce the name, now your page makes me want to go there. I plan to go to Hannover and Bremen in April, so maybe I can fit it in then....
