The City of Magdeburg
 |
 |
The city of Magdeburg is the capital of Saxony-Anhalt and it is located in the center of Germany.
The former imperial city and today’s capital of the federal state of Saxony-Anhalt fascinates its visitors and guests with its almost 1200 years of history.
In its varied past Magdeburg experienced alternating times of heavy destruction and prosperity. Well preserved architectural monuments from all stylistic periods remind us of the city’s former splendour and wealth.
Not without reason a part of the Romanesque Road ("Straße der Romanik") runs through Magdeburg. Besides the Romanesque monastery "Kloster Unser Lieben Frauen" and several churches from that time, it is mainly Magdeburg’s cathedral - the city’s landmark - which shapes the historical cityscape.
For further information on the city of Magdeburg and its vicinity, please visit the Magdeburg homepage (http://www.magdeburg-tourist.de/). For English information click on the field in the lower left corner.
