Sights to see
in Braunschweig
WELCOME TO
BRAUNSCHWEIG
Go on an adventure through a thousand years of
history in Braunschweig! Discover the lion’s claw
marks on St. Blasii Cathedral. Folklore tells of how
the lion left the marks while trying to reach its
deceased master, Henry the Lion. See the Braunschweig “Elle” at the old town hall and try a Braunschweig “Mumme” – both witnesses of the medieval
Hanseatic city. Trace the footsteps of the Guelphs at
Burgplatz, the Ducal Palace and Richmond Palace.
Experience the contrast between medieval half-timbered houses and contemporary architecture. Wander along the Oker river: splendid villas and delightful
gardens await you. There is so much to discover –
have a great time in the Lion City!

AROUND THE BURGPLATZ
HUNEBORSTELSCHES HAUS /
Photo: Braunschweig Stadtmarketing
GmbH / Gerald Grote
1
Travel back in time to the 12th century and
follow the footsteps of Henry the Lion.
Why did this famous Guelph ruler have the lion
statue erected? How did he live in his castle?
And where does he lie buried? Find out!
von Veltheimsches Haus
The Burgplatz today still maintains its historic layout. It is
surrounded by numerous historic
buildings such as the von Veltheim Haus – a noble
townhouse from 1573 – and the Huneborstel
Haus. Its famous, richly decorated semi-timbered
facade from around 1525 and the original roof
structure were moved here from the street Sack
near the Burgplatz in 1901. The building known
as the Gildehaus is today the offices of the
Chambers of Crafts.

BRAUNSCHWEIG
STATE MUSEUM IN THE
VIEWEGHAUS
The Vieweghaus was built between 1799 and
1804 and was a residential house and publisher’s premises until 1976. It is one of the most
important examples of classicist architecture
from around 1800. Today it is home to the State
Museum of Braunschweig. A permanent exhibition documents the history of the Braunschweig
region from early history through to the present
day. High-ranking topical exhibitions complement this. The museum has artefacts on display
at other locations such as the exhibition centre
“Hinter Ägidien”, in Wolfenbüttel and in Bortfeld.
Burgplatz 1
Tues to Sun 10 a.m.–5 p.m., every
1st Tuesday in the month from
10 a.m.–8 p.m.

BRAUNSCHWEIG LION
Henry the Lion erected the bronze-cast lion statue
in around 1166. It was originally plated with gold.
The lion was a depiction of Henry’s power and
jurisdiction. This highly regarded Romanesque
sculpture became a symbol of Braunschweig.
The original can be admired in Dankwarderode
Castle.

DANKWARDERODE
CASTLE
5
Henry the Lion had this castle
built in around 1175 as a residence inspired by the imperial
palaces of the time. It was completely rebuilt following many alterations and fire
damage from 1887 to 1906 in a historicised
manner. The castle now accommodates the mediaeval section of Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum:
In the „Knappensaal“ hall, some of the Guelph
treasures are on display as well as valuable liturgical clothing and the original Braunschweig Lion.
On the upper floor there is a splendid great hall.

COLUMN
“2,000 Years of Christianity”
The 9-metre high bronze column
shows the history of Christianity
in numerous sculptural elements.
They show the life of Jesus Christ,
the Reformation, the time of National Socialism
and the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001.
A telescope allows visitors to see even the smallest
details on the column created by the artist Jürgen
Weber (1928–2007). The “Ringerbrunnen” fountain
is another of Weber’s works (on the corner of Vor
der Burg/Sack).

TOWN HALL
The city’s new town hall (“Rathaus”) was built according to the
designs of the city building councillor of the time, Ludwig Winter,
between 1894 and 1900 and is
still today the head office of the city administration. Its tower is 61 metres high and has 161 steps
to the top. From the top of the tower there is a
wonderful view across the city rooftops. It takes its
inspiration from the famous Belfries (city towers)
in Flanders.

7 ST. BLASII CATHEDRAL
In 1173, Henry the Lion commissioned
the building of the St. Blasii collegiate
church as a Romanesque arched basilica.
Henry was buried there in 1195 next to
this wife Mathilde. The tomb of Kaiser
Otto IV, son of Henry the Lion, can also
be found in the cathedral. The crypt serves as a place of rest for Guelph princes.
The mediaeval fittings are of great significance: the Imervard cross, a seven-branched candelabrum, the Maria altar, the
tombs of Henry the Lion and Mathilde as
well as many artistic wall paintings.
Domplatz 5
Daily 10 a.m.–5 p.m. (the cathedral
is closed from 1 p.m.–3 p.m. from
the beginning of January to mid March)
RESIDENCE PALACE, MAGNI
QUARTER AND AEGIDIEN QUARTER
RESIDENCE PALACE
GmbH / Steffen und Bach GmbH
1
So many contrasts. Outside you see the restored
historic palace façade and inside a modern
shopping mall. Historic half-timbered houses
next to a colourful, post-modern office building.
One of the oldest collections of Judaica a few
metres away from contemporary art. You are
sure to be amazed!
This classicist residence palace
was built between 1831 and
1841 according to plans by Carl
Theodor Ottmer. Following severe
war damage, it was pulled down
in 1960. In 2006, the main façade including the
front palace rooms was rebuilt, integrating 600
original parts. The reconstruction was carried out
on the basis of the original plans and photographs.
The building accommodates the city library,
archives and the Schlossmuseum.

QUADRIGA
The residence palace is crowned with Europe’s largest
Quadriga, featuring the city goddess Brunonia riding a
chariot. The silicon-bronze group is over 9 metres in height,
7.5 metres wide and 9.5 metres long. It weighs 25.8 tons.
The reconstruction took place from 2007 to 2008 with the
aid of a plaster model made by the sculptor Ernst Rietschel
true to the original Quadriga, which was destroyed in a fire
at the palace in 1865.

SCHLOSSMUSEUM
On the ground floor of the north half of the
residence palace, there is Braunschweig’s Schlossmuseum. The original 19th century furniture,
paintings and artworks give visitors an impression
of the history and furnishings of the former
residence and of court life. The most significant
artefact is the largely reconstructed throne room,
which was originally located on the first floor.
Schlossplatz 1
Tues to Thurs 10 a.m.–5 p.m.

The two equestrian statues made of copper
show the Dukes Carl Wilhelm Ferdinand von
Braunschweig (1735–1806) and his son Friedrich
Wilhelm (1771–1815). Both dukes fell as military
leaders in the Napoleonic Wars. These statues from
1874 returned to this, their original location, on the
reopening of the residence palace.
HAPPY RIZZI
HOUSE
On the fringe of the Magni
Quarter stands the Happy Rizzi
House, designed by the internationally renowned New York artist
James Rizzi. The Braunschweig architect Konrad
Kloster carried out the construction, completing it
in 2001. Today it is an office building and is therefore not open to the public.

MUNICIPAL MUSEUM
This museum opened in 1906 and
focusses on paintings and graphics
from the 19th century, Braunschweig art handicrafts and the
history of life in the Braunschweig
region. One particular attraction is the impressive
atrium with wall paintings illustrating the history of
the city. The core of the collection of paintings was
formed by the paintings from the Braunschweig Art

can be found in the Altstadtrathaus (old town hall).
AROUND THE
MAGNI CHURCH
One of the oldest city quarters
in Braunschweig is the Magni
Quarter with its centrally located
Magni church square and the
Magni church, founded in the 11th century.
The quarter is made up of a cohesive group of
semi-timbered (“Fachwerk”) houses, which are
home to small cafés and shops. Ackerhof 2 has
the oldest Fachwerk inscription in Germany:
Anno M CCCC XXX II (1432).

LÖWENWALL
AND OBELISK
The Löwenwall was known as
“Monumentplatz” until 1904 and
dates back to the construction of
the town’s wall ring from 1805
to 1831 by Peter Joseph Krahe. It was installed in
place of a Baroque bastion and was inspired by
a Roman circus. The 22-metre-high obelisk is a
memorial to the Dukes Carl Wilhelm Ferdinand
and Friedrich Wilhelm, who fell in battle against
Napoleon.

BIRTHPLACE OF
LOUIS SPOHR
Louis Spohr (1784–1859) lived
in this historic villa with his
parents through to 1786. He
is considered as an influential
composer between classic and romantic. The
house, which was restored in 2003 in its original
colours, is privately inhabited and not open to the
public. Its semi-timbered (“Fachwerk”) construction
dates back to 1356, making it one of the oldest in
northern Germany.

KUNSTVEREIN
BRAUNSCHWEIG E. V.
Founded in 1832, this art society is one of the
most renowned in Germany. Four individual
or group exhibitions a year present the most
significant contemporary art and provide
a venue for lively discussion and dialogue.
The Kunstverein has been located in the Villa
Salve Hospes since 1946 and opens its doors
to the interested public, taking on a role as a
facilitator in the art world. The Villa, an early
classicist city mansion, was built between
1805 and 1808 according to designs by Peter
Joseph Krahe as a private residence and is in
itself worth a visit.

On rediscovering the grave of
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing in the
Magni cemetery, a bronze-cast
memorial statue was erected
(completed 1849 according to
a design by Ernst Rietschel). The 2.60-metre-high
statue was the first statue in Braunschweig which
realistically depicted a human being. The plinth is
made of Harz granite.

So you want to know a little about Braunschweig’s history and then relax with a drink, go
for something to eat or go dancing? Then this is
the place for you. Numerous historical buildings
set the scene for hip bars, clubs and restaurants.
OLD RAILWAY STATION
After foundation of the first state
railway (1838), the architect
Carl Theodor Ottmer built the
classicist-style stub-end station
in the years from 1843 to 1845.
Its function as a main station was taken over by a
new through station outside the centre in 1960.
The head section of the old station remains, with
its façade dominated by a triumph arch motif.
Today it is home to the management offices of
Braunschweig’s Landessparkasse bank.

The remains of the 5-metre city
walls between Prinzenweg and
Gieselerwall are a reminder of
the medieval fortifications of
Braunschweig in the form of
walls and moats. These city walls were built on
the initiative of Henry the Lion and his son Kaiser
Otto IV throughout the late 12th and early 13th
century.
GmbH / David Taylor
RITTER ST. GEORG
In 1489, Hans Haverlandt
(butcher, councillor, chamber
member and mayor) built the
house “Ritter St. Georg”. With
its late gothic carvings, it is
considered one of the most significant fullypreserved semi-timbered (“Fachwerk”) houses in
Braunschweig. The solid wall on the ground floor
goes back to a previous building, a medieval stone
house. This historic building is now a hotel.
In what is now a restaurant, you can admire
Baroque ceiling paintings.
Alte Knochenhauerstraße 13
HAUS ZUR HANSE
Butcher and councillor Cyriakus Haberland built this grand
Renaissance semi-timbered
(“Fachwerk”) house in Gülden
straße 7 in 1567. The trusses
and carvings on the upper storey originate from
this time. The hatches on the roof served to access
the storage attic. More carvings were added in
1869. Today the building is a hotel and restaurant.

BANKPLATZ
Bankplatz has been completely
overhauled in recent years. Here
and at Ziegenmarkt there are
owner-run shops, banks, the state
court and inviting restaurants
and bars. This great variety is characteristic of the
Friedrich Wilhelm Quarter, which nowadays is
considered “cult” in Braunschweig.

A little more history for you?
Then come to the Altstadt (old town)!
Here you can learn a lot about Braunschweig’s
time in the Hanseatic League and see unusual
buildings and inviting squares. You can stroll
through the oldest passage in the city and
visit the birthplace of German football at the
Martino-Katharineum.
The Jakob Bower was built from
rubblestone in 1250 and is one
of the oldest secular buildings in
Braunschweig. It was maintained
as a ruin after the Second World
War and in 2006 it was carefully restored with
an extension which was added in a consciously
modern design. This takes the place of the original
front building and displays a façade made of
rusting COR-TEN weathering steel.

ALTSTADTRATHAUS
3
The “Altstadtrathaus” (old
town hall) is among the most
significant medieval town halls
in Germany. The oldest parts
of the building originate from
the 13th century. The “Braunschweiger Elle”
(early measurement standard) fixed to the wall
of the Altstadtrathaus is 57.07cm long and was
provided to assist traders primarily of cloth. In
the gothic alcoves from the 15th century, there
are nine sculptures of rulers with their wives.
Today the Municipal Museum presents collections of historic artefacts from the town in the
Altstadtrathaus.

with the Maria Fountain
This market square was the
central location for markets,
fairs, equestrian events, homages, processions and even
executions following its creation in the 12th
century. At the centre of the square there is the
lead Maria fountain dating back to 1408 –
a unique documentation of late gothic artistic
handwork. It is decorated with biblical, imperial
and town history motifs. After being largely
destroyed in the Second World War, the fountain
which now stands at the Altstadtmarkt is a
reconstruction from 1988 and the remains of
the original can be seen in the Altstadtrathaus
building.

OLD CUSTOMS AND
LANDWEHR-MILITIA
BUILDING
The “Altes Zoll- und Landwehrhaus” originates from Rüningen
and was built there in 1643. It
was dismantled in the years 1948 to 1950 and
rebuilt at the cloth hall (“Gewandhaus”) in an
altered form. The building is reminiscent of the row
of semi-timbered (“Fachwerk”) houses at the cloth
hall which were destroyed in 1944. It is a late
example of the great expertise of the Braunschweig Fachwerk craftsmen which gave this
Hanseatic city its character from the 15th to the
17th century.

DID YOU
KNOW...
?
that a “Twete” is a narrow
alleyway which took its name
from the people who lived there,
a neighbouring building or from
the way it looked? In Braunschweig there are still 15
“Tweten”, such as the Kaffeetwete, Lindentwete and
the Badetwete.
GEWANDHAUS –
THE CLOTH HALL
Braunschweig experienced a
period of economic boom as a
hub between key trading routes
and as a member of the Hanseatic League from the 13th century. The “Gewandhaus” was first documented in 1303: as a warehouse
and trading place for “cloth cutters”, the most
distinguished guild in the old town. The restored
east gable, originating from 1590 and rebuilt between 1948 and 1950, is the most significant work
of Renaissance architecture in Braunschweig. The
plainer west façade shows a portal and peak-arched
windows from medieval building times. The building
is now home to the Chamber of Commerce.

HAUS ZU DEN SIEBEN
TÜRMEN – THE HOUSE
OF THE SEVEN TOWERS
STECHINELLI-HAUS
7
The Stechinelli-Haus originates
from 1630, was altered in 1690
and was rebuilt after the Second
World War. Its name pays homage to its architect, Francesco
Capellini, referred to as “Stechinelli”. As a son of an
impoverished noble family, he is said to have saved
the life of the last Duke of Celle, Georg Wilhelm, in
Venice. To thank him, the Duke took him into his
service as his General Post Master. In this role he
achieved wealth and renown.

The “Haus zu den sieben Türmen”
was first mentioned in 1249 –
its medieval predecessor was
decorated with seven small towers. Lore has it that
they were reminiscent of a state prison in Constantinople in which the man who built it (a companion of
Henry the Lion) was once imprisoned. The Baroque
house from 1708 which stands today bears a relief in
its gabled dormer documenting that historic episode.
The arched openings on the ground floor (the socalled “Messgewölbe”) served as a venue for Braunschweig’s exhibitions of wares in the 18th century.

MARTINOKATHARINEUM
This building is the oldest of
Braunschweig’s schools. With
the Pope’s permission, the city
council was allowed to build
a Latin school in each of the church parishes St.
Martini and St. Katharinen in 1415. In 1828 they
were merged. Since 1868 the school has borne its
current name and occupied a new building in Breite Straße. Famous students of this school include:
Richard Dedekind, Carl Friedrich Gauß, August
Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben, Louis Spohr
and the football pioneer Konrad Koch.

HANDELSWEG
“Handelsweg” is the oldest
passageway in Braunschweig.
In 1878 it was built as the
“Sedan Bazar” and it connects
Breite Straße and Gördelingerstraße. Following severe war damage in the Second
World War, it was rebuilt starting in 1956.
The eight-cornered brick building in the middle
of the passageway is a remnant of the original
construction. Visitors to the picturesque Handelsweg can find traditional shops such as small art
and antiquity dealers and original pubs.

KOHLMARKT
Although first documented in 1342, the Kohlmarkt is actually much older and formed one
of the first settlements in the area as early as
the 10th century. Through to 1544, the St. Ulrici
church stood here. Kohlmarkt, with its many
cafés, is one of the main meeting places in the
pedestrian zone and the scene of many events.
Its character comes from the variety of historic
facades from different epochs. Every Friday a
light show beautifully illuminates all the buildings. Tip: The Till Eulenspiegel glockenspiel can
be seen and heard from the top storey of the
house at Kohlmarkt 10.

STATE NATURAL
HISTORY MUSEUM
The oldest natural history
museum in Germany can be
traced back to the Cabinet of
Naturalia of Duke Carl I and was
opened to the public in 1754. It tells of evolution
and biodiversity in nature, all presented in a
vibrant manner with many dioramas and an aquarium. The exhibition especially focusses
on dinosaurs, fossils and insects.

THE OKER WITH THE
THEATRE AND MUSEUM PARKS
The classicist wall embankment promenades
and Oker moat waterways encircle the city
centre. If you take a raft trip, you can see the
wonderful 19th century Gründerzeit villas
and old gardens from the waterside. The
river passes the Theatre and nearby Museum Parks. These two formed the first large
landscape park of the early 19th century in
Braunschweig together with the former ducal
kitchen garden.

This traditional five-category
theatre offers music, plays, dance,
young theatre and its own orchestra. Its foundation (1690) dates
back to Duke Anton Ulrich von BraunschweigLüneburg (1633–1714). Some of the highlights in its
history include the debut of “Emilia Galotti”
by G. E. Lessing 1772 and “Faust: The First Part of
the Tragedy” by J. W. von Goethe in 1829. The large
house (“Großes Haus”) was built in Florentine
Renaissance style between 1859 and 1861.
!
The writer Wilhelm Raabe (1831–1910) lived
in Braunschweig from 1870 until his death
and wrote a large proportion of his works
here. His original manuscripts, diaries, note
books, letters, drawings and his impressive
library are now all owned by the city of
Braunschweig. The exhibition in the Raabe
Haus: Literaturzentrum Braunschweig conveys an impression and provides information
on the writer’s life and work.

OUT INTO THE GREEN
LÖBBECKE’S ISLAND
1
Enjoy a nice long walk on a sunny day? Braunschweig is a very green city and there are many
parks surrounding the city centre. The nature
conservation area in Riddagshausen is on the
east side of the city and is a must for anyone
looking for a bit of fresh air and nature.
Löbbecke’s Island is the western
part of the Inselwall park. The
Löbbecke Villa and a large children’s playground are located here.
The name Löbbecke is that of a
banker’s family who acquired the land in 1865 and
built the villa in 1881/82 in Italian Renaissance
style.

In place of Baroque fortifications, Peter
Joseph Krahe led developments to create
parks and promenades with villas and
private gardens starting 1803. The street
names today all end in “wall”. The author
Ricarda Huch was born in one of these
villas in 1864, although this has since been
demolished. There are now two information plates at this location as a memorial to
Ricarda Huch.

On this 1.38-hectare green area
in the north of the city centre,
there stood a Baroque bastion
until it was extended to become
part of a park starting 1803. Part
of the landscaping work involved creating an earthen
embankment. The resulting hill, which was initially
referred to as “Anatomieberg” (Anatomy Mountain),
was later named “Gaußberg” to honour the name
of the Braunschweig-born scientist Carl Friedrich
Gauß after the Gauß memorial statue was installed
in 1880.

PRINZ-ALBRECHT-PARK
Developed from a former
parade ground in 1895, the Prinz
Albrecht Park (“Prinzenpark” for
short) is an official landscape
conservation area and serves as
a recreation area for the local people in the east of
Braunschweig. The adjacent sports ground “Franzsches Feld” is home to the Konrad Koch Stadium,
named after the co-founder of German football.
There is an exercise ground with ramps for skaters
in the northwest section of the park.

RIDDAGSHAUSEN
Riddagshausen is a suburb to

the flora and fauna. The expanses of ponds and
lakes landscaped centuries ago by Cistercian monks
offer a diverse world of plants and animals.

RICHMOND PALACE
This late Baroque palace with its park
grounds was built in 1768/69 for the
English Princess Augusta (1737–1813),
wife of Duke Carl Wilhelm Ferdinand.
The name is taken from her home palace
in Richmond upon Thames near London.
The adjacent park is one of the oldest
English landscape gardens in continental
Europe.
Wolfenbütteler Straße 55
BÜRGERPARK
Bürgerpark was created in 1886
as a public park spanning 42
hectares. It is home to a variety
of indigenous and foreign tree
species. These include the
Chinese Tree of Heaven, the blossom of which
is used to make honey by a city beekeeper. The
pillared portico moved to the park in 1896 is
worth a visit. It was originally part of a guard
house at what today is John F. Kennedy Platz.
Right next to Richmond Palace there is
the Gerstäcker Museum, which is dedicated to the life and works of Friedrich
Gerstäcker.

Heidberg Lake is the venue for annual triathlons
and is popular with anglers thanks to its good
stock of fish.
Creation of this artificial lake
finally began in 1965 after
several planning and construction
attempts from the 1930s onwards. Today the Südsee is popular with ice-skaters
in winter and an attractive place for walking and
jogging all year round.

A relaxing walk along the Oker takes you
from the south of the city centre, through the
Bürgerpark, to Richmond Palace. You can take
a break on this idyllic route by stopping at a
beach bar on the Oker, where you can also rent
a pedalo or a canoe. A little further south there
is a crazy golf park for extra entertainment.

ÖLPER LAKE
When the autobahns A391 and A392 were
built, earth for the construction work was taken
from this 15.85 hectare area in the northwest
of the city creating the lake we see today. The
Oker river originally ran through this area. At the
northwest point, an old arm of the river encircles
an island which serves as an orchard.

CHURCHES IN BRAUNSCHWEIG
ST. MICHAELIS
1
This church, first consecrated
in 1157, was converted into a
gothic hall church in the 14th
century. The angular tower
originates from the time around
1250. Next to the bride door in the north side aisle
there is a still-legible inscription documenting the
new consecration in 1379 in medieval “Plattdeutsch” dialect. The depiction of Christ on the
cross came into being at the same time thanks
to sponsorship.
Gisela Rothe
Why are there so many churches in Braunschweig? It is because the city is made up
of several little boroughs which were merged
to form Braunschweig in the 17th century.
Each of them had its own town hall, council
and a parish church. Which church do you
like the most?

ST. BARTHOLOMÄUS
St. Bartholomäus was built as a
parish church for the old town
which had been extended toward
the north at the end of the 12th
century. It took the form of a
Romanesque village church. In the 14th and 15th
centuries, it was converted to gothic style and the
west section was given two peaked tower roofs,
which were removed again in the 19th century.
After the Second World War, the church was rebuilt
through to 1953 with a plain interior.

ST. MARTINI
Building work on the Martini Church began
around 1190 as a Romanesque main and
market church for the old town. The inspiration
for the three-aisled pillar basilica was St. Blasii
Cathedral. It was converted to a gothic hall
church between 1250 and 1400. The west
section, the middle aisle, transept and the old
choir arches remain from the Romanesque
building phase. Remarkable aspects of the
church include the early baroque organ, the
high altar (1728), the baptismal font (15th
century) and the chancel (17th century).

ST. AEGIDIEN
A city fire in 1278 destroyed
the Romanesque church of the
Benedictine Abbey of St. Maria
and St. Aegidius founded in 1115.
The choir of the new gothic
building is the sole example of gothic cathedral
architecture in Braunschweig, whereas the nave
of the church was consecrated in 1478. In the
Romanesque east wing (12th century), there are
the registry, charter house, parlatorium (speaking
hall), refectory (dining hall) and the remaining part
of the cloister (State Museum).

ST. MAGNI
The former church of the old lord’s village of
Brunswiek was consecrated in 1031. The first
mention of Braunschweig itself was in this
consecration document. From 1252, building
work was performed on a new hall church.
It was badly damaged in 1944 and reconstructed in a form fitting to the time. The glass
windows by Gottfried von Stockhausen are
particularly worth seeing. They show the
Children of Israel crossing the Red Sea and the
sculpture “Der Rufer” (“The Caller”) by Bodo
Kampmann.
Ölschlägern 15a
ST. ULRICI
A building predating the former
Franciscan Abbey originates from
the 13th century. The new gothic
building of a typically towerless
mendicant order church was
constructed from 1345 to 1452. Of the medieval
abbey complex, the three-wing gothic cloister, the
register and a small chapel still remain. The inside
of the church is richly equipped with a choir loft
(end of the 14th century), a high altar (from 1380
to 1400) and a baptismal font from 1440.

ST. KATHARINEN
The elegant west section with its
slim towers is characteristic of
this parish church, the building of
which was begun around 1200 in
the former town area of Hagen.
Here visitors can admire the transition from the
Romanesque lower floor to the fine gothic style of
the belfry. During the conversion to a gothic hall
church, the large tracery windows and the gable
crest were created. Inside there are many beautiful
epitaphs originating from Renaissance and Baroque
times.
Hagenmarkt 22
Mon to Fri 9 a.m.–1 p.m.
ST. PETRI
St. Petri was founded as a third
parish church for the old town.
The first building (end of the
12th century) fell victim to a city
fire in 1256. From 1260, a new
basilical building was erected, of which only the
west tower still remains. At the end of the 13th
century, work began to convert it into a three-aisle
gothic hall church. Around 1400, the south side of
the choir was supplemented with the Anna and
Livinus Chapel. The peak of the tower with the
cockerel from Bodo Kampmann originates from
1971.

ST. ANDREAS
As with St. Martini and St. Katharinen,
building began on St. Andreas in the new
town with a Romanesque basilica, which
was then extended in the late middle
ages into a hall church. At 93 metres, the
south tower is the highest church tower in
Braunschweig and can be climbed, having
389 steps to the top. In the 16th century
it was one of the highest church towers in
the world at 122 metres. Inside the church
there is a depiction of the crucifixion of
St. Andreas by Braunschweig artist Jürgen
Weber.
