Details of Braunschweig and the Ticket Luck value

Braunschweig
Braunschweig is a city located in Lower Saxony, Germany, north of the Harz Mountains at the farthest navigable point of the Oker river, which connects to the North Sea via the rivers Aller and Weser.

It is known as Brunswiek in Low German and the historic English name for Braunschweig is Brunswick. Germany's reunification revitalized Braunschweig's role as an important European hub.

According to statistics, it is Europe's most active research and development region, as over 27,000 people are employed in research and development here and 7.1 percent of the gross domestic product is invested in research, which puts Braunschweig ahead of Silicon Valley.

Thus, unsurprisingly, the "Lion City" was chosen as Germany's "City of Science" in 2007. As a tradition, it is believed that Braunschweig was created through the merger of two settlements, one founded by Bruno II, a Saxon count who died before 1017 on one side of the river Oker and the other the settlement of Count Dankward, after whom the still surviving Castle Dankwarderode is named.

The original name of the town Brunswik is a combination of the name Bruno and wik, a place where merchants rested and stored their goods. Therefore, the name of the town suggests the town to be an ideal resting-place, as it lay by a ford across the Oker River.

Another explanation of the city's name is that it comes from Brand, or burning, indicating a place which developed after the landscape was cleared through burning. Braunschweig was made the capital of the state of Duke Henry the Lion in the 12th century and later in the 13th century to the middle of the 17th century Braunschweig was a member of the Hanseatic League.
