Map title:   Magdeburgum . . . Metropolitica Saxoniae Urbs, /Cologne/ 1572

Description:  A fine early view of Magdeburg in Saxony, published by Braun & Hogenberg in their monumental 6 volume Civitatus Orbis Terrarum.

n this plan view seen from a lofty bird's-eye perspective, Magdeburg - the name is probably derived from 'Magadoburg" (German for mächtige Burg or "mighty fortress") - lies on the right bank of the Elbe. The Gothic cathedral of SS Maurice and Catherine is clearly recognizable on the right (Der Dom). Further left is the ensemble of St John's church, where Martin Luther preached in 1524, and the town hall overlooking the Alter Markt, the old market square on which it is also possible to make out the famous equestrian statue of the Magdeburg Knight and a Magdeburg Roland statue.
