Podcast Tour The Battle for Brunswick's Soul

About this activity

How do you rebuild a city when ninety percent of its history burns to ashes in a single night? This tour takes you into the heart of Braunschweig, a medieval trading metropolis that had to reinvent itself after the firestorm of 1944. Discover the ideological struggles that shape today's cityscape: the dreams of the car-friendly city, islands of tradition, and modern compromises between commerce and memory culture. From the reconstructed castle that hides a shopping center to the Old Weigh House, first rebuilt in the 1990s, the tour asks: What makes a city authentic?
