Guided Story

In front of you is a memorial commemorating 175 years of transport and economic history in Braunschweig. Built in 2008, this piece is crafted from granite and plastic. It's part of the open-air museum, the Braunschweiger ZeitSchiene, which highlights the city's railway history. The project began in 2004 and was further developed when Braunschweig was named 'City of Science' in 2007. From this point, you have a great vantage to appreciate the impact railways had on the region. Take a moment to reflect on the city's connection to its railway past.
