About Magdeburg, the venue*
The 1200 year old city on the banks of the river Elbe looks back on a rich and everchanging past. Magdeburg has suffered many destructions, however the city has always blossomed again and today's appearance paints an exciting picture of its colourful past. Art and architecture from all time periods bear witness to the bygone splendour and wealth of the former Imperial city.

Due to the beautiful Monastery of Our Lady and other architectural marvels in Romanesque style, Magdeburg has been lovingly referred to as the "pearl" of the Romanesque Road. Apart from the monastery and various churches, all erected in Romanesque style, the Cathedral of Magdeburg - proud and famous landmark of the city - dominates the historical city centre.
