Send Flowers to Braunschweig, Germany

A bronze lion has stood on the castle square in Braunschweig since the twelfth century, set there by Duke Henry the Lion, and the animal remains the emblem of the city. Sometimes called Brunswick in English, it is the second-largest city of Lower Saxony and lies in one of the most research-intensive regions in Europe, with a technical university, aerospace and physics institutes and the car industry nearby in Wolfsburg and Salzgitter.

The river Oker forms a green ring around the centre. Inside it are the half-timbered Magniviertel and the reconstructed palace. Outside it are the Östliches Ringgebiet with its tall nineteenth-century apartment houses, the Westliches Ringgebiet, Lehndorf, Querum and Stöckheim. Scientists on temporary contracts, students and long-established families all receive bouquets from abroad. If you send flowers to Braunschweig, place your order before midnight local time and delivery follows the next day, Monday to Saturday, never on Sundays. The city also holds the biggest Carnival parade in northern Germany, the Schoduvel.
