Brunswick

The landscape around Brunswick is flat and marked by the Oker on the North German Plain, which has shaped both the city’s layout and its local economy. Known in German as Braunschweig, the city grew around the medieval stronghold of Henry the Lion. A replica of the 12th-century Brunswick Lion stands on Burgplatz beside Brunswick Cathedral, founded by Henry and closely associated with the Welf dynasty. The historic centre combines this ducal legacy with areas rebuilt after wartime destruction, while Brunswick remains an important Lower Saxon centre for research and industry.
