Braunschweig: A liveable city and modern research location

Braunschweig is a safe, medium-sized city in Lower Saxony that is known for its high quality of life. Its blend of historical charm, numerous green spaces and modern urban culture makes it a diverse and liveable place.

Thanks to its manageable size and well-developed infrastructure, many destinations can be reached quickly without a car, whether by public transport, bicycle or on foot. This makes everyday life particularly pleasant. 

As a major centre for science and research in the metropolitan region of Hanover, Braunschweig, Göttingen and Wolfsburg, the Technical University of Braunschweig shapes the cityscape of Braunschweig and attracts students and experts from all over the world. The close links between the university, research institutions and innovative companies make the city a dynamic centre for knowledge and progress.
