Magdeburg cathedral’s present appearance dates to the 13th century when the worldly Prince Archbishop, Albert I of Käfernburg adopted the new French Gothic style. The cathedral took 300 years to complete and the architects learned by trial and error as in the beginning they had no frame of reference for Gothic architecture. The scale is epic, at 12...
An 11th-century Romanesque monastery is the rousing backdrop for a contemporary art museum. The exhibitions opened in the atmospheric barrel vaults of the north wing in 1975 and concern themselves mainly with sculpture, photography and video art. Most of the work is post-1945, but there is an assortment of sculpture from antiquity, the Middle Ages ...
Shaped like an irregular cone, this edifice in the Elbauenpark was built for the new millennium and at 60 metres high is one of the tallest wooden buildings in the world. Inside, on five floors the Jahrtausendturm has an exhibition chronicling the development of science across 6,000 years of human history. With each new level you’ll jump forward in...
The largest park in the city takes up most of the Werder river island on the Elbe and is billed as one of Germany’s loveliest English landscape parks. There are two tram lines serving Rotehorn Park from the centre of the city. The island had been undeveloped for hundreds of years when the city first laid out the park in the 1870s and in 1898 it was...
Funded by the city’s merchants around the 10th century, the Johanniskirche is no longer a consecrated church, and is instead used as a concert hall, museum and convention centre. In 2014, from January to June it was also where Saxony-Anhalt’s State Parliament met. The Johanniskirche has been destroyed and rebuilt no fewer than four times: Twice aft...
On the northwest corner of Domplatz (Cathedral Square) is a fantasy-like mishmash of irregular striped towers, creating the impression of a medieval castle viewed underwater. The Green Citadel is the work of the rebellious Friedensreich Hundertwasser and was his final project before he passed away in 2000. Making liberal use of colourful ceramic ti...
When this navigable aqueduct was completed in 2003 Berlin’s inland waterways could finally be accessed from Germany’s inland ports on the Rhine and Ruhr to the west. The Magdeburg Water Bridge had been in the pipeline for more than a century, but plans were scrapped because of war and Germany’s division. The aqueduct channels the Mittelland Canal o...
Between Breiter Weg and Jakobstraße, the city’s marketplace has existed since the time of Bishop Wichmann von Seeburg in the 12th century. This square was hard-hit, first in the Thirty Years War’ and then in the Second World War, and most of the buildings on its margins are now modern. But on the eastern end is the newly refurbished town hall, whic...
Also on east side of Alter Markt, just in front of the town hall is a statue in place since at least 1240. The equestrian sculpture is believed to represent Otto I, who is buried at Magdeburg cathedral. He is flanked by two allegorical maids, one carrying a shield sporting the Holy Roman imperial eagle, and the other with a pennon. The whole set is...
The Magdeburger Reiter is presented in the Kaiser-Otto-Saal in its original un-gilded form. Considering the time that the statues were created, the realism is staggering, and the work is regarded as one of the most accomplished of the period. In the same room are items from the Ottonic crypt and a three-part mural depicting scenes from the life of ...
Magdeburg awaits you with magnificent buildings of historic importance, numerous museums, the glorious Elbe floodplains and many good shopping spots.
