The historical city walk with Tom or Tobi through the city center provides an insight into the exciting and eventful history of the Lion City. Braunschweig was first mentioned in documents almost 1,000 years ago and around 850 years ago, Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony and Bavaria, and his wife Mathilde of England made the city their residence.
