Magdeburg

　　Magdeburg is situated on the banks of the Elbe River and serves as the capital of the German state of Saxony-Anhalt. It is the second-largest city in the state after Halle and one of its three urban districts. The city is one of Europe’s significant medieval cities and is famous for having once been the seat of Emperor Otto I's imperial palace.

　　Magdeburg is a city rich in historical stories and boasts numerous attractions. Among the most renowned is the Magdeburg Cathedral (Cathedral of Saints Catherine and Maurice), which stands 104 meters tall and is the highest church in eastern Germany. It is also one of Germany’s oldest Gothic Catholic cathedrals, adorned with exquisitely crafted sculptures and wood carvings in a wide variety of forms. Several of Magdeburg’s museums have been exceptionally active in recent years—not only have they expanded their collections with new acquisitions, but they’ve also invested heavily to create top-tier science museums. Visitors can expand their knowledge at the Natural History Museum, immerse themselves in art at the Kloster Unser Lieben Frauen Art Museum, and experience history at the Cultural History Museum.

　　Magdeburg is a charming city full of surprises—distinctive in character, beautiful, tangible, and ever-evolving. This becomes even more apparent when strolling through the beautiful cultural and leisure landscapes of the Elbauenpark.
