Tips

Harald Schramm (Schocker)

June 16, 2022

Today's town of Wolfenbüttel owes its name to the former moated castle of the same name. The settlement area around Wolfenbüttel Castle, the district around the residential castle that still stands today, was later named Dammfestung after a dam that had been built around the castle in the swampy area of the Oker river. This dam fortress and the various districts of the old and new Heinrichstadt, Auguststadt and today's Juliusstadt, which together with the dam fortress have borne the city name Wolfenbüttel since 1747, separated and flowed through artificially created arms of the Okerstrom. Today, with a few exceptions, these Wolfenbüttel waterways no longer exist. A signposted tour should help clarify the former location and shape of the ditches and canals in the city area.
