Overview

Welcome to Osnabrück, the “City of Peace”. Around 780, Charlemagne, king of the Franks, erected a stone church on the banks of the Hase River, the nucleus of today's Osnabrück. It was the place where the “Peace of Westphalia'', a series of peace treaties were signed, effectively ending the Thirty Years War. Peace was proclaimed in October 1648 from the town hall and would have a significant impact on European history. The city is located in the middle of a UNESCO Geo Park, a 1.220 square kilometres in total area that is a nature reserve, offering a golden opportunity to go cycling or hiking in the country. See the pedestrian zone flanked by gorgeous 15th century half-timbered and sandstone houses, topped off with a war memorial to the soldiers who fought at Waterloo. The city palace was also the birthplace of King George I. of England. Osnabrück is also known amongst literature and art lovers through the works of some of its own sons, Erich Maria Remarque and Felix Nussbaum.

Activity itinerary

Dom St. Petrus
  • 15m
It is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Osnabrück. The origins of the first church and diocese can be traced all the way back to the great Charlemagne who founded the first church at this spot in the year 785. Wars and fires have taken their toll on the old church and so it saw a lot of changes over the centuries. The current church built in the late Romanesque style dates back to the 12th century and has a Baroque interior as a result of the changes in styles of time.
Market Square
  • 10m
This place is a must for every visitor. Overlooking the square is the beautiful Lutheran St Mary's Church built in the gothic style, dating back to the 14th century.
Rathaus Osnabruck
  • 10m
Finished in 1512, the Town Hall designed in the late gothic style was the location for the negotiations that would end the The Thirty Years War (1618 - 1648) that had a lasting impact on central Europe. The main hall contains 42 portraits of the envoys representing the nations at the peace congress, as well as the rulers of the time. There is a replica of the treaty as well as many prominent relics of the imperial times located here.
Heger Tor
  • 10m
Passing through the pedestrian zone flanked by gorgeous 15th century half-timbered and sandstone houses, we approach the portal, a war memorial dedicated to the soldier that fought at the battle of Waterloo.
Felix Nussbaum Haus (Pass by)
Have a view towards the Felix-Nussbaum- House with its unusual modern architecture, and next to it is the Museum of Culture.
Schlossgarten Osnabrück
  • 15m
The garden of the palace is where you will also find the City Palace. This grand building used to be the residence of the protestant bishop and is now used as an administration building for the city's university. Built in the Baroque style, it serves as the residence for many bishops and princes. This palace was the birthplace of King George I. of England, a german prince on the english throne who would continue to carry on the tradition of german monarchs ruling the British Empire right up to Queen Victoria.
