We are in Braunschweig visiting Nicole’s father… while here, we decided to share a trip around some of the oldest buildings in the city, and in Germany! While wandering around, Craig remembers enjoying a Turkish treat with Nicole over ten years ago, when he first visited the city – WOW! How time flies…

Many of the buildings we look at today, survived the bombings in World War 2 – a great deal of the city was destroyed – others have been and continue to be faithfully restored to their former classic style. We also found a very interesting fact about some buildings constructed 1000 years ago – the Jakob Kemenata we visit is one of only three remaining buildings of its type in the city. These buildings were constructed in two parts – a wooden framed front building, and a rear built of stone. The stone building could be heated – some were used as bowers to house animals, as well as human dwelling. But, the stone houses also offered a protection from fire – if the front of the building was attacked or caught fire, the residents could hide in the back for protection…

We will be back at the beach next week… until then – our best wishes to you all!

We hope you enjoyed today’s video… Thank you so much!

  1. Schönes Video. Das kenn ich zwar alles aber so schön gefilmt hab ich es noch nicht gesehen. Man läuft ja auch blindlings durch die Stadt und bestaunt nicht jedesmal die schönen alten Gebäude und deren Verzierungen 👍

  2. Scotland is beautiful with all of its architecture. I was in shock when you said the last building was built in the 1200’s. Nice tour glad you filmed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

  3. Certainly a lot of history attached to the city, worth the visit – no modern day graffiti(am I right Nicole)? Do they have a grade listing system in Germany, also?

  4. I absolutely loved this episode. Not only do I love ancient architecture, but my great grandfather came from Germany (and also my mom), and my family name is Michaelis! I was thrilled to see the Michaelis quarter.❤ Thank you.

  5. Oh my goodness this is an incredible video.
    Reason number 1:
    The beams.
    I love old buildings with old beams.
    The ,well I call it graffiti,but,presumably it’s woodworkers marks,that you showed at the beginning,wow!
    Which leads me to number 2,the PATINA.
    That old wood,I just want to touch the smoothness of it,that only comes with time,it is this funny way of verifying,with one’s hands,the very thing that you see with one’s eyes,it is a rare pleasure of the senses.
    Thirdly,umm…wel,thirdly,I have forgotten,as I was mezmerized by a quick moment,a moment not needing to be bound by sea swept winds,hair allowed to lay free,across shoulders,allowing an observer to marvel at the otherwise hidden cascade that is Nicole’s hair.
    It is delightful 😌
    Oh I shall be purchasing one of your advent calendars again this year!
    I will do so in about 3 days,when I have a free moment
