Braunschweig was the medieval capital of Henry the Lion, whose bronze lion statue still stands on Burgplatz beside the reconstructed Dankwarderode Castle and the Romanesque cathedral. Postwar rebuilding replaced much of the old town, but pockets like the Magniviertel keep cobbled, half-timbered streets.
