Wolfenbüttel is a town in Lower Saxony.

Understand

While the town does have history going back centuries as evident by its well preserved timber-framed buildings, it is overshadowed by nearby Braunschweig and its one claim to fame is rarely associated with the town – being the site of the Jägermeister distillery and their corporate headquarters.

Get in

Wolfenbüttel is located on the Oker river, about 15 km south of Brunswick. In 1432 it became the residence of the Duke of Brunswick.

gollark: What specifically?

gollark: I install most of my software from the repos on Arch and it is *still* faster than Windows updating only itself and its random junk.

gollark: My Arch system: package updates run in the background, on demand, basically no manual intervention, except I need to reboot for kernel updates and it takes 30 seconds.Windows: the entire system updates at once, it randomly breaks, I can't use the system while it updates and it's far too slow.

gollark: They should just have designed updates better.
