Handelshafen Magdeburg

The Magdeburg Commercial Port stretches along 994 meters with a width between 45 and 65 meters, featuring heavy-duty quay walls and stone-paved embankments.

Construction of the port began in 1888 with warehouses G and H, following Berlin's royal government approval in 1878 to support Hamburg's port expansion.

The port complex includes historical storage buildings and a grain silo from the 1930s, representing the industrial architecture of different construction periods.

The facility maintains specialized equipment for handling bulk cargo, hazardous materials, and waste products, with railway connections through the Magdeburg Port Railway.

In 1906, the port reached its peak performance, processing 1.4 million tons of goods including grain, sugar, salt, wood, fertilizers, and coffee.
