Osnabruck trip planner

Offering a wealth of history, both ancient and more modern, Osnabruck is also known for its fine dining, shopping, and variety of festivals. Though heavily damaged in the Second World War, Osnabruck undertook a lengthy process of rebuilding, ensuring that today its old center is restored and appears frozen in time. Considered as the “city of peace” due to its role as the place of signing of the Treaty of Westphalia, often cited as the birth of the modern European nation-state, Osnabruck also is the birthplace of Erich Maria Remarque, author of the famous novel “All Quiet on the Western Front.” Within its lovingly-restored architecture and winding streets, the city offers energetic nightlife, vibrant art displays, and some of the best educational institutions in Germany, ensuring no shortage of modern excitement.
