Braunschweig: Patricians, Hangmen and Butchers.｜Germany

Discover with us unique half-timbered houses that have long since disappeared, medieval market squares, and an ancient battlement that is still preserved and hidden away. We follow in the footsteps of wealthy patrician families and hard-working butchers. We learn where the Braunschweig executioner lived and what connection he had to the "oldest trade" in the world. Our walk begins at the historic Bäckerklint. Then you will learn what the Flohwinkel is all about.

Passing the time-honored Martino-Katharineum secondary school with its famous students, we will go through the medieval Altstadtmarkt and the historic Eiermarkt to the Jakob-Kemenate. From there, it is not far to Knochenhauerstraße.

After a short stop, we continue to the picturesque Michaelisviertel, which has its own exciting stories to tell. At the end, you will experience the medieval battlement, which tells its own story in a very hidden way.
