Multifaceted Wolfenbüttel

In front of the Lessinghaus, in the shadow of Nathan, read Nathan or visit the exhibition in the Lessinghaus. The statue was created by the sculptor Schmidtbochum.

A stroll through lovingly restored half-timbered alleys takes you through the eras. Krumme Strasse, located in the southern part of the city centre, is one of the most romantic alleys in the city with its crooked half-timbered houses. Many small flower boxes set colourful accents between the historic façades, while the tower of the main church rises majestically in the background. This street, which is built exclusively with half-timbered houses, is really not to be missed.

A fascinating time travel experience that immerses visitors in the splendid courtly life of the early 18th century. Here you can explore the original preserved palace rooms of the former Guelph residence and be enchanted by the baroque table and envoy ceremony as well as the living and festive culture. Discover the magnificent world of the palace with historic parquet floors, stucco ceilings, magnificent paintings, sculptures, silver and porcelain, which create a lifelike image of princely living and dining culture. The castle museum offers regularly changing special exhibitions. Find out before your visit what is currently in fashion.

These three are outstanding and characteristic for Wolfenbüttel. Half-timbered houses determine the cityscape: With about 1000 half-timbered houses, the old town is almost completely preserved and lovingly renovated - this can be easily observed from here. The poet and Enlightenment philosopher Gotthold Ephraim Lessing lived and worked in Wolfenbüttel for the last 11 years of his life. Even today, some of his places of work are preserved and invite you to visit them. And the famous herbal liqueur? It comes from Wolfenbüttel. Always, and still today. That's what it says on every bottle, by the way. Of course, Wolfenbüttel is much more. Over 900 years of town history are waiting to be discovered.

A picturesque sight awaits at a location that enchants with its winding half-timbered houses and the former canal system. The small bridge in Stobenstraße offers the best view of the canal and is an idyllic photo motif.

An absolute highlight for your next visit to the city is the narrowest house in Lower Saxony. With a width of only 2.20 meters and built in 1751 in the Kleiner Zimmerhof, this architectural marvel offers six rooms on 103 m² over three floors, complemented by a garden and a winter garden. A perfect background for unique photos in "narrow format".

Walk through green grounds, past a large pond with a fountain, encounter ducks and maybe even chicks as you step on traces of the mighty fortifications of the 17th and 18th centuries. Enjoy leisure activities such as petanque, tennis or a city beach that combines relaxation and activities in a historic setting.
