The “Ottostadt” Magdeburg cannot only point to a multifaceted history of more than 1200 years with great traditions, periods of prosperity of European significance and severe upheavals, it is more than ever a city in transition.

Since Germany’s reunification, Germany’s second-greenest major city has been the capital of Saxony-Anhalt, a business and logistics center, an internationally recognized location for science and research, and a sought-after conference and congress venue. With a good 230,000 inhabitants and more than 18,000 students from all over the world, Magdeburg is a city full of
world history, colorfulness, sports, culture, and thirst for knowledge – a future-oriented city between tradition and modernity.
