Details About Magdeburg

Destinations » River Cruises » European Rivers » Magdeburg


Although heavy bombing in 1945 destroyed some 80% of this city, Magdeburg today is a glorious example of a lively German town. A former seat of an archbishopric in 968 A.D., and later a member of the Hanseatic League, the city's historic roots can be visually traced through the town's surviving architecture from the 11th century Church of Our Lady, to the Cathedral of Marie and Catherine. The town also boasts the famous 1240 A.D. statue of Magdeburger Reiter (Magdeburg Rider), the oldest German equestrian statue.
