    Heinrich the Lion, also known as Brunswick Lion, is a reminder of the city's founder.
    Translated by
    Henry the Lion (* around 1129/30 or 1133/35; † August 6, 1195 in Braunschweig) from the House of Guelph was Duke of Saxony (Henry III) from 1142 to 1180 and Duke of Bavaria from 1156 to 1180 (Henry XII.).
    In 1152, as Duke of Saxony, Henry the Lion played a decisive role in the coronation of his cousin Friedrich Barbarossa.
    For this he was intensively promoted by Barbarossa in the following years.
    In 1156 he also received the Bavarian duchy.
