Fortifications of Braunschweig, Medieval defensive system in Brunswick, Germany.

The stone fortifications of Braunschweig form a circular perimeter around the old city center, with towers and gates marking historical entry points.

The walls played a central role during the Hanseatic League period from the 13th to 17th century, protecting Brunswick's status as a major trade hub.

These fortifications now serve as an educational site where visitors learn about medieval military architecture and the development of urban defense systems.

Walking paths along the preserved sections of the walls connect different neighborhoods of Brunswick, offering pedestrians direct routes through the city center.

The fortification system includes the Burgplatz complex, which combines the Cathedral of St. Blasius and Dankwarderode Castle within its defensive perimeter.
