Magdeburg is the second greenest city
Magdeburg is the second greenest city in Germany
Yes, this was the result of a survey on the number of green spaces in German cities back in 2002. Magdeburg's lush greenery has also won several awards e.g. in 2002 the city was awarded the gold medal in the “Entente Florale” competition and in 2003 and 2004 the silver medal.
Magdeburg doesn't just have one, but four River “Elbes”
Dresden and Hamburg have the River Elbe. But Magdeburg has four of them. The Elbe flows through Magdeburg for 21 km. It is divided into the Strom-Elbe and Alte Elbe by the Rotehorninsel (Red-Horn-Island). The Taube Elbe feeds the artificial Adolf-Mittag- Lake on the island and the Zoll-Elbe provides a marina for pleasure boats. This illustrates the strong affiliation of the Elbe to Magdeburg and of the city to the river.
The Magdeburger Börde - one of the most fertile soils in Germany
The Magdeburg Börde area extends from Magdeburg westwards to the state border. The black earth found there has one of the best soil qualities in Germany. This high quality was the foundation of a successful food industry and is now also a prerequisite for the production of renewable raw materials, e.g. biodiesel from rapeseed.
The Elbauenpark in Magdeburg is the second most beautiful park in Germany
Can you believe it? This is the result of a contest organized by the US engine manufacturer Briggs & Stratton. The jury consisted of high-calibre experts in horticulture and landscape architecture.
Magdeburg - City of allotments
No other comparable city has as many allotment gardens as Magdeburg. 16,500 allotments constitute an essential part of the green city of Magdeburg.
They are also an important leisure activity for many Magdeburg residents. The Association of Garden Friends Magdeburg e.V. has 239 members. These allotment garden associations manage 706 hectares of leased land belonging to various owners.
