“Braunschweig [or Brunswick in English] is a city in Lower Saxony, north of the Harz Mountains at the farthest navigable point of the river Oker, which connects it to the North Sea via the rivers Aller and Weser.
“Wolfenbüttel is a town in Lower Saxony. It is best known as the location of the internationally renowned Herzog August Library and for having the largest concentration of timber-framed buildings in Germany, around 1,000.
“Bremen is the capital of the German state of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, a two-city-state consisting of the cities of Bremen and Bremerhaven.
