If you ever thought textbooks were boring, let us show you otherwise as we track elements of their fascinating history on a brief tour of Braunschweig.
The walking tour takes around 40 minutes, visits 6 locations, including the university, the residential palace, the Burgplatz in the heart of the city, and the villa that currently houses the Institute.
Along the way we learn about the sometimes surprising histories of those buildings; their significance for the history of textbooks and the transformations in their architecture and function through darker periods of Braunschweig’s past and moments of revolution.
We also meet some of the inspirational educators, politicians and activists that populated them.
