Brunswick - (not M. Braunschweig) is a city with a population of around 250,000. residents in the federal state Lower Saxony in Germany. It's north of the mountains Harz, at the furthest navigable point of the Oker River, which joins the North Sea by the Aller and Weser rivers.
The date and circumstances of the town's founding are unknown. Tradition holds that Braunschweig was formed by the amalgamation of two settlements, one founded by Bruno II, a Saxon count who died before 1017, on one side of the Oker River - legend says the year 861 for the foundation - and the other settlement of the legendary Count Dankward, after whom Dankwarderode Castle was named ( Dankwarda clearing), rebuilt in the 19th century. The original name of the city of Braunschweig is a combination of the name Bruno and the Low German wik, a place where merchants rested and stored their goods. The name of the city therefore suggests an ideal place to rest, as it lies on the ford on the other side of the Oker River. Another explanation for the city's name is that it is named after Brand or Burning, indicating a site that arose after the landscape was cleared by burning. The city was mentioned for the first time in documents from the Church of St. Magni from 1031, which gives it its name Brunesguik.
Characteristic
Brunswick was an important city in medieval Germany. Economically, it was at the crossroads of major trade routes; moreover, the river Oker was navigable from Braunschweig, allowing access to the seaport of Bremen. It was one of the last nine cities of the Hanseatic League.
Politically, Brunswick gained importance thanks to one of its most important rulers, Henry Lew, Duke of Saxony and Bavaria. During his reign, Henry founded several German cities (including Schwerin and Munich), defying his cousin, the German Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa, and married Richard the Lionheart's sister Matilda of England, thus establishing family ties with the royal family of England that still exists. His son, Otto of Brunswick, was crowned German Emperor in 1209. To prove his claim to power, Henry had a statue of the Lion erected in 1166, which also appears on the city's coat of arms. You can still find the red lion on the coat of arms of Scotland and the British Royal Family.
Braunschweig is considered to be one of the most turbulent cities in late medieval and early modern Europe (adj Paris and Gent). Numerous constitutional conflicts end with uprisings and social unrest.
Despite its rich medieval tradition, Braunschweig's appearance today owes much to its almost total destruction during World War II. Allied bombings destroyed 90% of Braunschweig's medieval center (leaving only 80 of the more than 800 timber-frame houses). Only a small number of buildings have been rebuilt. Today, most downtown buildings show the gloom of post-war 1950s architecture.
An important industrial center, the district of Braunschweig is home to many companies, such as the steel industry in Salzgitter (Salzgitter AG) i Peine or Volkswagen w Wolfsburg.
The Braunschweig region is the area with the highest intensity of research and development in the entire European Economic Area, which invests a significant 7.1% of GDP in the research and technology sector (places two and three go to Varsinais-Suomi and East Anglia each 4.1%). It is the seat of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), the national institute of life sciences and engineering and the highest technical body in the field of metrology and physical safety engineering in Germany. Part of his job is to measure time accurately. Responsible for the German CS2 atomic clock and the DCF77 long-wave time signal. In addition, PTB supports time servers for distributing time on the Internet.
Braunschweig is also known for its universities: Technische Universität Carolo-Wilhelmina zu Braunschweig, Braunschweig University of Art, Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, Welfenakademie Braunschweig and 19 research institutes, including the Johann Heinrich von Thuenen Institute (Federal Center for Agricultural Research until 2007) and Helmholtz Infection Research Center.
Brunswick was declared the 2007 German City of Science.

Braunschweig is served and easily accessible thanks to the German motorway system. The Autobahn covers one of the main communication arteries in Europe A2 (sometimes jokingly called the largest parking lot in Europe as traffic jams are not uncommon, especially on Fridays).

Taxis are relatively expensive in Germany, and Braunschweig is no exception. They are usually used by residents on weekends (after buses and trains stop) for driving home or when large amounts of luggage need to be carried, eg at a train station.

Private companies such as MiniCar or HighlineTaxi pick you up only on prior reservation.
Worth seeing
Traditional islands
After being destroyed by area bombing in World War II, the medieval landscape of the historic center of Braunschweig was almost completely destroyed. In order to preserve the few remnants of the medieval city, the historical building material was reconstructed and combined into so-called "traditional islands" as building complexes. In this way, five areas were created near the large city churches around the cathedral, Aegidien, Magni, Martini and Michaeliskirche, which today give the impression of an earlier landscape.

Gastronomy
Braunschweig Mumme was Braunschweig's export hit in the Middle Ages. The sticky, strong beer was long-lasting due to its high alcohol and sugar content and was therefore sold as sailing reserves around the world. Thanks to vitamins and high nutritional value, it contributed to the nutrition of sailors and also protected against scurvy. In the 18th century, alcohol was abandoned and a sticky malt extract was created, which today is mainly used for refining food and beverages. Mumme can be mixed with water, milk, tea and beer, for example, or you can refine sauces, sausages, cheese, cakes, there are even cookbooks on the subject. The mummy is offered in some grocery stores in and around Braunschweig, as well as in the food court. You can buy a mumm eg at the tourist information office Kleine Burg 14, as well as guided tours on the subject.
