Gräber erzählen Geschichte | Dom- und Magnifriedhof

In the organizer's words:

Castle walk with Andreas Schwarz

Meeting point: Dom- und Magnifriedhof, entrance Gerstäckerstraße, 38102 Braunschweig

Since the 18th century, Braunschweig's city center has been surrounded by a ring of cemeteries. Each parish set up its own cemetery and buried its dead in the countryside outside the city gates. An eventful period of our history is hidden beneath the grass and stones. The traces of those days are still visible today.

Cathedral and Magni cemetery

The Cathedral and Magni Cemetery stands out due to its wonderful design and the large number of personalities buried there. While the cathedral cemetery refers to the life and death of the Brunswick court, the Magni cemetery is the resting place of commoners who left their mark on history through their deeds. You will visit Lessing's grave, get to know the builder of Brunswick's Residential Palace and discover the secrets of the ancient art of tombstones.

An event in cooperation with the cemetery administration of the Braunschweiger Land Protestant Provost's Association.

Tickets can be purchased in advance at the museum ticket office or directly at the meeting point. Only cash payment is possible on site.
If the minimum number of 7 participants is not reached one week before the event, the castle museum reserves the right to cancel it.

Participation from 14 years.
