Braunschweig has a long and colourful history. Heinrich der Lowe chose Braunschweig as his residence in the 12th Century and its origins are as a busy trading centre. About 90% of the main area of Braunschweig was destroyed in the Allied bombings of WW2 but much has been restored and rebuilt.
Braunschweig is the perfect place to spend a weekend if you are visiting Germany. It does not have all the hustle and bustle of centres such as Berlin or Hamburg. It has every amenity and a day could easily be idled away simply browsing its many shops. It also has a variety of parks and museums that may also be of interest.
The main walking area of Braunschweig can be covered on foot without any problems. Wolfenbuttel another lovely town to visit is not far from Braunschweig and the Harz Mountains and Hanover are approximately only an hour away. |

Nice page about Braunschweig. I will go there on Sunday for a business trip.. if there is some time left I would like to look around. Your tips could be very helpful. Have a nice day, Manfred | Nemorino Sun Aug 7, 2005 17:17 UTC
You found a good place to live and work in Germany. I've always liked Braunschweig (been there a couple times on business and once to attend an opera premiere), but judging from your tips there seem to be a lot more things I haven't seen yet. | biztraveler Fri Apr 22, 2005 11:54 UTC
