About Werder
What are the main landmarks in Werder?
Two dozen entries and more. The Cathedral of Magdeburg heads them, with the Monastery Unser Lieben Frauen Magdeburg, the Mauritiuskloster and the Magdalenenkapelle among the religious houses, while the Tatarenturm and the Lukasklause sit apart from them. Sculpture accounts for a good share.
The Skulpturenpark Magdeburg, the Skulpturen im Möllenvogteigarten, the Telemann-Stele and the Lutherdenkmal Magdeburg all appear, as does Kiek in de Köken.
What is the history of Werder?
No founding year is on file for the quarter. What Werder holds instead is a sequence of buildings rather than dates, running from the Mauritiuskloster and the Monastery Unser Lieben Frauen Magdeburg through the Lutherdenkmal Magdeburg to the Sports Walk of Fame. The Cathedral of Magdeburg outlasts them all.
Names, not dates.
Where is Werder?
