Tips from the Community

Marius
February 12, 2026, Prinz Albrecht Monument

In the heart of Prinzenpark stands a striking arrangement of boulders commemorating its namesake, Prince Albrecht of Prussia. As ruler of the Duchy of Brunswick (1885 to 1906), he supported the park's creation. The monument was erected in the autumn of 1911 according to a design by Ludwig Winter. The fountain with its cascading water features made of Harz granite was added in 1981.

At the edge of the settlement there is a nice compensation area, even with a climbing wall.

I passed by there on July 9, 2025, on my hike "Lessingplatz 14 - Braunschweig Hbf." I had attended a seminar at Lessingplatz, organized by the employers' liability insurance association.

I passed by here the day before yesterday, July 9, 2025, on my tour "Lessingplatz 14 - Braunschweig Central Station." I missed the sculptures.
