The Oker ring
The river divides and flows around the historic centre on both sides. The result is a moat that still shows clearly on the map and separates the old town from everything built later.

The map
About this Braunschweig map poster
Seen from above, Braunschweig has a clear centre. The river Oker splits and wraps around the old town, and those two channels still frame the core on the map. Inside that moat the streets follow the medieval plan, made up of five historic districts that once governed themselves before merging into a single city. Outside the water, a ring of parks marks where the fortifications stood.
This is the city of Henry the Lion. His bronze lion still stands on the square beside Dankwarderode Castle and the cathedral, and the animal has become the city's emblem. Braunschweig is also home to one of Germany's oldest technical universities. Its campus sits just north of the old centre, where the dense medieval blocks give way to the wider plots of the nineteenth century.
A Braunschweig map poster shows several layers of growth at once. At the centre is the tight old core with its encircling water. Around it runs the green belt of the former ramparts, then an outer ring of wider streets, rail lines and newer districts. In black and white, the Oker's double loop reads almost like a hand-drawn border around the city.

Rampart parks
The old fortifications were replaced by a chain of landscaped gardens that follow the water. They form a soft green band between the medieval core and the later city.
Lion and cathedral
The castle square with Henry the Lion's statue and the cathedral forms the historic heart. It is a compact open space inside the densest part of the street plan.

Why Braunschweig
A map that means something
People who studied at the university, grew up in one of the old districts or simply know the city well often want its map on the wall. The river ring makes Braunschweig easy to recognise even at a glance, and it holds up well at large print sizes.
You can change the title, subtitle and coordinates line to mark a street, a year or a name. Choose from five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. The digital HD files cost $9, and printed posters on matte paper, with an optional wooden frame, ship from partners in over 30 countries.
