Magdeburg, the capital of Saxony-Anhalt, is a central German city on the Elbe River. Magdeburg's Gothic cathedral is located in the center and is the burial church of Otto the Great, the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. The Museum of Cultural History traces the city's importance in the Middle Ages with exhibits on archaeology and local history. The Romanesque-style Monastery of Our Lady houses a contemporary art gallery and a sculpture park.
Once the heart of Magdeburg's heavy industry, Buckau was long one of the city's problem children. But since the turn of the millennium, the neighborhood has undergone an impressive development. Today, you'll find an exciting mix of new housing developments on the banks of the Elbe, lavishly restored old buildings, and creatively repurposed industrial structures in a district with many young and committed residents and a rich cultural life.
The Buckau bottleneck is an offshoot of Schönebecker Strasse. Characteristic of the bottleneck are the St. Gertrauden Church and row houses of the former industrial age.
