Venue

Braunschweig

The city declares itself as "The Guelphs, the Hansa and the Bright Minds"!

The city of Henry the Lion was given its distinctive character in the course of the centuries through the influence of the family of Guelph, the Hansa, as well as of many bright minds such as Lessing, Gauß and Spohr. Today, Braunschweig is a lively cultural city and the centre of one of Europe's most research-intensive regions. The historic ensembles around the Burgloewe monument as well as the residential palace, contrasting with modern buildings and passages, characterise the townscape with its bustling squares. Perched in splendour on top of the residential palace, the largest Quadriga in Europe with its visitor's platform allows a view of the city centre surrounded by the river Oker.
