Overview

  • Before huge steelworks shaped the modern skyline, Salzgitter was a realm of bubbling brine springs, old forest smithies, and wandering musicians. Accompany a sociologist and a detail-oriented historian on a journey through the Middle Ages and the early modern period. You will discover the underground salt lodes from which the city arose, follow the traces of unscrupulous mercenaries who fought for this 'white gold', and explore the forgotten ruins of the forest smiths. This is the storey of how geology shapes destiny and how a small community adapted to the turbulent tides of European history.
