Magniviertel (Magni Quarter)

In the shadow of a large modern department store, the small settlement from the 15th century ducks. The Magniviertel is a city in a city. Quaint and with weekly market on Thursday certainly worth a visit. Tip! A really delicious coffee with delicious cakes is available at the Magnitor 12 in the café coffee ceremony.

The Magniviertel still consists of numerous, mostly very well-preserved half-timbered houses and is one of the few remaining ensembles in what was once the largest half-timbered town in Germany.
Numerous air raids during the Second World War, especially the firestorm of the massive air raid on October 15, 1944, destroyed 90% of Braunschweig's city center and only a few old buildings and streets have been preserved in their original form.
The central point and namesake of the district is the Magni Church, which was consecrated in 1031.

A very pretty neighborhood! A church, a small market square with restaurants and cafes, old houses and the beautiful, colorful Rizzi houses! I like the neighborhood!
