Magdeburg City Drive: The Ring, The River & The Millennium Tower

This video captures a varied urban drive through Magdeburg, the capital of Saxony-Anhalt. The route begins on the busy Magdeburger Ring (B71) in the north, detours east across the Elbe River to visit the Elbauenpark district, and returns west to head south towards Sudenburg.

It offers a great mix of high-speed urban expressway driving and scenic views of the city's green heart along the riverbanks.

Nearby Landmarks & Highlights

Magdeburger Ring (B71) (Start): The video starts on the main arterial road of the city (Points 1-5), heading south from the Neustädter Feld area. This "city highway" is the spine of Magdeburg's traffic.

Crossing the Elbe (Nordbrückenzug): Around Points 6-9, the route exits the highway and travels east along the B1, crossing the Nordbrücke (North Bridge). This offers wide views over the Elbe river and the harbor area.

Elbauenpark & Jahrtausendturm: The drive loops around the Herrenkrug and Messe area (Points 10-16). Look for the Jahrtausendturm (Millennium Tower)—the world's tallest wooden tower with a distinctive cone shape—visible near the fairgrounds.

Universitätsplatz & City Centre: Returning west (Points 28-34), the route passes near the Otto-von-Guericke University and the central Universitätsplatz. You get a glimpse of the modern city center architecture.

Sudenburg (End): The journey concludes (Points 40-45) in the southern district of Sudenburg, near the Kroatenwuhne and Halberstädter Straße, a traditional working-class neighborhood with characteristic red-brick buildings.

The Atmosphere This is a dynamic city tour. It contrasts the concrete efficiency of the B71 Ring road with the leafy, open spaces of the Elbe river parklands and the dense urban streets of the southern districts.
