List of cultural monuments in Braunschweig
The city of Braunschweig has around 1700 objects in its entire urban area, which have been declared legally protected architectural monuments and ground monuments because of their architectural, historical or urban development importance . There are also movable monuments.
The oldest of these cultural monuments from several centuries are the Magni Church (11th century) and the Brunswick Cathedral (12th century).
Signage
The cultural monuments in Braunschweig are identified and signposted using the Braunschweig guidance and information system BLIK . There are two forms of information signs for cultural monuments: Object signs represent individual buildings and ensemble signs represent groups of buildings or groups of cultural monuments. The BLIK signs provide information about interesting facts, the history and special significance of architectural monuments and have illustrations.
This signage system has a uniform appearance. They have a square design and are in the international cultural information color brown, which makes them highly recognizable for those interested in culture and tourists. The BLIK signs for cultural monuments are symbolized with a symbol based on the mark of the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property .
The BLIK was developed in 1995 by Heiner Erke from the TU Braunschweig and Claudia Albrecht together with the city of Braunschweig. Since then, the number of signs has been systematically expanded; in 2008 there were already more than 100 signs.
With the amendment of the Lower Saxony Monument Protection Act in 2011, owners can now also mark their architectural and ground monuments with a monument protection sticker, but they are hardly widespread in Braunschweig so far.
