Brunswick

Brunswick stands at the Oker River with restored medieval structures, modern research facilities, and extensive parklands covering its urban landscape.

The city gained prominence in the 12th century when Duke Henry the Lion established it as his residence and commissioned the construction of Dankwarderode Castle.

The Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum holds one of Germany's largest collections of Old Masters paintings and ancient art across multiple exhibition halls.

The central railway station connects Brunswick to major German cities through regular high-speed train services and regional transportation networks.

The Magniviertel district preserves 80 original timber-framed houses that survived World War II, representing the city's medieval architectural heritage.
