The "Kiek in de Köken" defence tower on the Fürstenwall is part of the former Magdeburg fortress. It owes its name to the fact that you could once look into the archbishop's kitchen from there. The tower was built in 1430.
Magdeburg, the state capital of Saxony-Anhalt, is a central German city on the River Elbe. Magdeburg's Gothic cathedral is located in the centre and is the burial church of Otto the Great, the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. The Museum of Cultural History traces the importance of the city in the Middle Ages with exhibitions on archaeology and local history. The Romanesque-style monastery of Our Lady houses a contemporary art gallery and a sculpture park.
