District
City Center
The heart of Brunswick: Burgplatz with the Lion Monument, Brunswick Cathedral, the Schloss-Arkaden mall and the Altstadtmarkt.
The city center blends a medieval Welf past with a modern shopping district. On Burgplatz, the bronze lion of Henry the Lion has looked out over the cathedral, town hall and Dankwarderode Castle since 1166. The Schloss-Arkaden bring big-city retail behind a reconstructed palace façade.
