  Braunschweig - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Braunschweig was a member of the Hanseatic League from the 13th century to the middle of the 17th century.

 historical Braunschweig
Braunschweig joined the Hanseatic League as early as the 13th century, a membership that was to determine to a large extent the city’s ecconomic, and political fate for over 400 years, in fact until the summer of 1671, when the city was subjugated by the Guelph Dukes.
Duke August the Older received the Principality of Lüneburg, with the capital city of Celle and the territory of Grubenhagen with the cities of Herzberg and Osterode in the Harz Mountains.
The power of the city of Wolfenbüttel was on the decline and from 1754 on the city of Brunswick became the new residence of Duke Carl I., who was the reigning Duke from 1735 to 1780.

 Magdeburg rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
As with most medieval city laws, the Rights were primarily targeted at regulating trade to the benefit of the local merchants and artisans, who formed the most important part of the population of many such cities.
Jews and Germans were always competitors in those cities, and as the Jews lived under special privileges and were not considered a part of the native population, not only were they excluded from participating in the benefits of the Magdeburg law, but their condition usually was rendered worse wherever it was introduced.
External merchants coming into the city were not allowed to trade on their own, but instead forced to sell the goods they had brought into the city to local buyers, if any wished to buy them.

It turns out that I've been to Braunschweig before: I spent a night in a hotel here last spring, when I was playing a run-out concert in nearby Wolfenbuettel with a German chamber orchestra from Wuertemburg.
Braunschweig -- "Brunswick" in English and French -- is a relatively old city, and it has some pretty buildings and churches, as well as the atmosphere of a city that's been around for several centuries.
Braunschweig isn't remote -- it's halfway between Hanover and Berlin -- but I do wonder what would bring me to many of the places I visit, if it weren't for concerts and music.

Updated frequently since its first release in 1960 to reflect new construction and other changes to the city landscape, this lexicon is still mainly historical in orientation, occasional topical articles on "Verkehr" (traffic) or "Verkehrsverbund" (the urban transit network) notwithstanding.
