Braunschweig
Located in Lower Saxony between Hanover and Magdeburg. Braunschweig, the Lion City, owes its emblem to the Welf Duke Henry the Lion, whose bronze statue dominates the Burgplatz square. The reconstructed Braunschweig Palace now houses a shopping center behind its historic facade, while the State Museum presents significant collections. The medieval old market with its Gothic town hall gives the city center its special character.
