Historic New Town

At 1,200 years old, Magdeburg is one of the oldest cities in eastern Germany and looks back on an eventful historical past that is second to none. As an imperial residence, episcopal and Hanseatic city and Prussian fortress, it has repeatedly aroused desire, been ravaged by war and destruction, but has also been rebuilt time and again and given promising prospects. Neustadt, once an independent settlement located north of the walls of the first German emperor’s favorite palace, is not only almost as old as Otto I’s residence, but is also closely linked to its history. Neustadt can look back on a rich history that can be traced back to the 11th century and includes significant examples of industrial history. To this day, the streetscape around Nicolaiplatz and Moritzplatz bear witness to the Napoleonic buildings.
