10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Braunschweig That You Shouldn't Miss

October 10, 2021 Vivienne Hutton

Also known as Brunswick, Braunschweig is, at about 250,000 people, the largest city between Hannover and Berlin. Many of Braunschweig's most historic buildings surround the city center Burgplatz (Castle Square), including the 12th-century Braunschweiger Dom (Brunswick Cathedral), burial place of the famed Henry the Lion, powerful early Duke of Saxony. Henry's rebuilt castle, Burg Dankwarderode, is also on the Burgplatz and is now a museum. The Old City Market is another popular visitor spot.

Staatliches Naturhistorisches Museum

The State Natural History Museum (Staatliches Naturhistorisches Museum) opened in 1754 under the name Ducal-Brunswick Natural History Cabinet to the public. As a “child of the Enlightment” it feels committed to its tradition. Today we also see ourselves as a center for natural history beyond the region of Brunswick.
