            In 2008, the Wolfenbüttel city marketing company, together with a number of sponsors, had 19 bilingual information boards set up in the city center under the project name "Wolfenbüttel Waterways" that point out historically interesting points.
            These include buildings and streets, but also filled-in and no longer visible sections of the canal system.
            The boards and the associated information flyer were enhanced with works by illustrator Margret Rettich.
