Haus zur Hanse

Haus zur Hanse is a timber-framed house in Brunswick featuring visible wooden beams and a characteristic medieval construction style. The facade displays the typical patterns of this building method with its arrangement of wood and light materials.

The building arose in the medieval period as a gathering place for merchants connected to the Hanseatic League. It represents a key point in the history of trade in northern Europe.

The house displays construction methods that wealthy merchants favored when they had their homes built in the medieval period. You can still see today how this building style shaped the street and what it reveals about life back then.

The house is located on Gueldenstrasse and easily reached on foot in Brunswick's historic center. Visitors can view the facade at any time and explore the surrounding area.

The timber-frame construction allows natural moisture regulation that protects the wood and interior spaces over time. This old building method works without modern climate control systems.
