By the way, did you know that Magdeburg is the capital of Saxony-Anhalt and has a remarkable history? The city is picturesquely located on the banks of the Elbe and has repeatedly reinvented itself over the centuries. What is perhaps less known is that the city was an important trading location in the Middle Ages and a member of the Hanseatic League. Magdeburg is also the final resting place of Otto I, the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and was also the scene of many important historical events, such as the Magdeburg Right, which had influence not only for Germany, but also for entire parts of Europe. The Italian tourist can not only walk past the grandiose buildings such as the Magdeburg Cathedral or the Monastery of Our Lady, but also enjoy the cultural life of the city, which is strongly influenced by the [Magdeburg Regio] range of events and functions.
