 The Hector Berlioz Website - Berlioz in Germany Brunswick (Braunschweig)
One of the most devoted supporters of Berlioz in Germany was Robert Griepenkerl (1810-1868), who taught German language and literature in Brunswick, and was in addition a music critic and francophile.
It was during his stay in Brunswick in October 1853 that Berlioz made an excursion on foot to the Harz mountains to the south of the city (it will be recalled that Berlioz located the imaginary city of Euphonia, that was dedicated to the cult of music, "on the slopes of the Harz").
Brunswick has suffered considerably from the ravages of time and war: large parts of the old town were destroyed during World War II, and almost nothing survives of the buildings associated with Berlioz’s visits.
