The article investigates the function of urban inscriptions as media of knowledge about space and time at the transition from the late Middle Ages to the early modern periodinthecityofBraunschweig.Thearticlestartswiththeinsightthatinscriptions in stone or wood on buildings or monuments not only convey knowledge about space and time but at the same time play an essential role in the construction of space and time in the city by the practice of inscribing.
