A memorial of significance to the nation's history is the
Kaiserkreuz ("Emperor's Cross"). Here on 5 June 1400, Duke Friedrich of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel was
murdered. The inscription on the cross itself, written in Gothic minuscule, has never been interpreted beyond doubt, despite many attempts over the ages. A further cultural monument is the
St. Michael Kirche (church) on Hundsburgstraße with its late
Gothic wall paintings from the 15th to 16th century.
