Stendal, Historic Hanseatic district capital in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
Located 125 kilometers west of Berlin, Stendal extends across 268 square kilometers of land with medieval gates and Renaissance structures marking its urban landscape.
The settlement received market rights in 1160 from Margrave Albert the Bear, later joining the Hanseatic League in 1358 and gaining coin minting privileges in 1369.
The Theater of the Altmark produces performances since 1946, while the Winckelmann Museum displays archaeological collections and contains a large Trojan horse replica.
The Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences offers educational programs, and the city functions as a rail junction with connections to major German cities.
The French writer Marie-Henri Beyle selected his pen name 'Stendhal' from this German city, creating an unexpected connection between German and French literature.
