Magdeburg Cathedral is the city's most famous landmark: the first Gothic cathedral to be built in Germany and still one of the biggest churches in the country.
To the details
A must-see for visitors to the city, this ensemble of irregularly shaped facades and modern design – an attraction, fantasy building and work of art rolled into one – was one of the last architectural works created by artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
Magdeburg's Elbauen Park is a particularly special destination for visitors, with state-of-the-art landscaping covering some 100 hectares.
Rothensee lock, the longest canal bridge in Europe across the river Elbe (918m), and the double lock near Hohenwarthe all form part of a gargantuan river traffic project in the heart of the countryside.
