For over twelve years, the Gauss Friends have been helping international students from before they arrive at the train station until they graduate and even beyond. As a meeting place for German and international students, the Gauss Haus has become many students' second home and favorite place in Braunschweig. Intercultural events take place here and many new friendships are formed.
By the way, the name of the Gauss Friends comes from the fact that Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss, as a symbol of science and a linguistic genius, represents the cultural association of science. In this context, both the international guests and the citizens of Braunschweig are friends of Gauss (Gauss Friends), who unites everyone as the "host of research".
