In the fifth episode, museum educator Christine Kellner-Depner visits the exhibition area on salt in Salzgitter.

The city of Salzgitter owes its name to salt, the white gold of the Middle Ages. In the Middle Ages, a small settlement developed around the brine springs in today's Salzgitter-Bad, which possibly already had town rights.

The replica of a salt cottage in the Salder Castle Municipal Museum illustrates the importance of salt for the development of Salzgitter in the Middle Ages.

In the episodes, Christine Kellner-Depner explains historical topics from Salzgitter's history for children in monthly digital tours. The short films are intended to inspire young visitors to come to the museum with their parents or grandparents free of charge and discover the history of the Salzgitter region up close.
