Magdeburg, Gothic Cathedral city in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany
The Cathedral of Saints Maurice and Catherine stands as the first Gothic cathedral in Germany, featuring twin spires rising above the Elbe River banks.
During the Thirty Years' War in 1631, imperial forces led by Count Tilly captured the city, resulting in the death of 20,000 inhabitants.
The Cultural History Museum displays the Magdeburg Rider, a 13th-century equestrian statue depicting Emperor Otto I, representing early German medieval sculpture.
The city maintains direct connections to major German destinations through multiple railway lines, highways, and the Mittelland Canal linking to the Rhine River.
The Millennium Tower in Elbauenpark reaches 60 meters high, containing 243 exhibits across six levels documenting 6000 years of human scientific achievement.
