Dom: The Rose by Kathrin_E
The Rose on the southern side of the steeples commemorates 825 years of links between Braunschweig's Dom church and England. It was planted on "English Day", June 4, 2000 by the Rector of Bath Abbey, Braunschweig's Mayor and the Dean of the Dom. The history of this link between the Dom and England takes us back to the times of Duke Henry the Lion, the founder, whose wife was the English princess Mathilde.
