Bridge at the Waterfall (Magdeburg)

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge over the waterfall spans the Old Elbe in Magdeburg and connects the eastern district of Cracau with the western Rotehornpark, which lies on the Elbe island of Grosser Werder. The building stands above the Cracauer weir, which is also called Cracauer waterfall. After about a year of construction, the pedestrian and cycle bridge was opened to traffic on 1 December 1997.

View of the Jahrtausendturm

Highlight • Viewpoint

The millennium tower in Magdeburg is 60 meters high, the highest wooden building - but not the highest wooden tower - in the world. The design and the overall artistic concept of the tower are from the Swiss building designer Johannes Peter Staub.
The Millennium Tower was built on the occasion of the Federal Garden Show in 1999 in Magdeburg Elbauenpark. Inside is an exhibition on the development of science, with many vivid, partly interactive experiments. Among other things, you can through an astronomical telescope the clock of Magdeburg Domesablesen. A Foucault's pendulum, suspended in the spire, demonstrates the rotation of the earth.
The tower was originally designed only for the time of the garden show. Only later was it decided to operate the tower and the exhibition in it permanently.

Herrenkrugsteg Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Herrenkrug Bridge, or the Herrenkrugsteg, was built in 1998 in order to better distribute the rush of visitors to the then Federal Garden Show in the Elbarenpark (at that time the only way was from the south). The Herrenkrugsteg is now a purely pedestrian and bicycle bridge - at the time of the Federal Garden Show, small shuttle buses also drove here (recognizable by the bus lane markings).
