Magdeburg in Saxony-Anhalt
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 which today shape the cityscape. 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 of that time, it is mainly Magdeburg''s cathedral - the city's landmark - which shapes the historical cityscape.
Magdeburg has a lot to offer! Visitors looking for peace and quietness will find a green city with numerous parks, a zoo and the wonderful exotic ''Gruson'' greenhouses offering a lot of space to relax and dream. With the Elbe River and its unique scenic flood plains the surrounding countryside is also a must for every nature-lover.
