    The Duke was highly educated and always fond of books. During his reign he brought his entire library with him to Wolfenbüttel.
    After the well-read Duke passed away in 1666, the “Bibliotheca Augusta” already contained 35,000 volumes.

    Hiking

    Where the main staircase of the former Bibliotheca Augusta (Herzog August Bibliothek) stands at the entrance portal today, an arm of the Oker ran along it for centuries.

    In 1884 the S-shaped Oker arm was diverted and the river bed was filled.

    The current library building was built in the Neo Renaissance style as early as 1881-1886.

    From 1779 to 1781, the Lessinghaus in front of it was the residence of the court librarian Gotthold Ephraim, who wrote the famous drama >> Nathan the Wise << here after the death of his wife.
