Cool pics. You've really shown Magdeburg's nicest areas which are apparently few and far between due to the major damage the city sustained during WW2. Do you have any shots of the Socialist architecture?

The next photos is about the transport in Magdeburg at one square. I just sit there on a bench with a bottle of beer, and made a pictures of trams. Please, take a look:

Very cool. I met a new friend from Magdeburg over the summer. Glad to see more of it. I like the tram shots. They must run often.

Nice. Didn't think Magdeburg had actually so many nice buildings.

That must be one unlucky city - the main thing I remember about it from school history is that it got so thoroughly destroyed during the 30 yrs war that the phrase 'to make a Magdeburg' of something, meaning to f%k something up, entered the German language.

Yup, but at least after its first destruction it was rebuilt with nice baroque buildings.

Although to be honest I've never heard "to make a Magdeburg" in German.

Now I'll go up to the top of this church for seeing the panoramic view of Magdeburg.

Looks really beautiful. An underrated city in the shadow of Berlin!
