Welcome to Osnabrück, often referred to as the ‘City of Peace’. In about 780, King Charlemagne of the Franks constructed a stone church along the banks of Hase River, which would later become the heart of present-day Osnabrück. It’s recognized as the location where, the ‘Peace of Westphalia’, a collection of treaties that put an end to the Thirty Years War, were signed. The declaration of peace in October 1648 from the city hall marked a historical turning point. Nestled in the midst of a UNESCO Geo Park, with a sprawling area of 1.220 square kilometers, it’s a treasure trove for nature enthusiasts who enjoy cycling and hiking. Feast your eyes on the pedestrian-only area bordered by stunning 15th-century half-timbered and sandstone buildings, crowned by a memorial commemorating those who served in the Waterloo battle. The city palace is the birthplace of King George I of England. Literature and art aficionados may appreciate Osnabrück for its ties to native sons, Erich Maria Remarque and Felix Nussbaum.
