... Nice view of the historic square with old town hall and the Marienbrunnen the natural center of the square... one of the few free-standing monuments of international standing in the city... the Old Town Hall is among the most significant medieval town halls in Germany... this historical city hall is now a small museum in which, beside the old archaeological finds, different expositions take place... with a lovely stamp of a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm and great first day postmarks...Thanks a lot Dustin!【ツ】
At the centre of the square there is the lead Maria fountain dating back to 1408, a late gothic artistic handwork.
It is decorated with biblical, imperial and town history motifs. After being largely destroyed in the Second World War, the fountain which now stands at the Old Market is a reconstruction from 1988 and the remains of the original can be seen in the Altstadtrathaus building.
The Old town hall of Braunschweig was built between the 13th and the 15th centuries in Gothic style.
