Stendal's new website: More overview for citizens and visitors!

On July 1, 2025, the Hanseatic city of Stendal put its newly designed website online. The revised platform not only promises greater clarity, but also easier navigation for all citizens and visitors. Mayor Bastian Sieler emphasizes that the focus is on modern design and user-friendliness. Particularly important is the easy-to-find information about events, closures and construction sites, which is intended to make everyday life easier for Stendal residents. The website is now at www.stendal.de reachable.

The redesign also includes a unification of the service portal and main page, so that all information is bundled in one central location. Visitors can now easily access content from municipal institutions such as the Altmärkisches Museum, the Tiergarten, the music forum, the registry office and the city library. A new event calendar allows citizens and external organizers to register their events, which strengthens cultural diversity and community.
