Halle is one of the largest cities in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. It is located on the river Saale and was historically known for a large production of salt, which fed the city’s economy. Halle later became a member of the Hanseatic League, and in the 16th century the city became one of the important places for Martin Luther’s reformation. Today, Halle is the home of the educational institution Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg.
Halle is a city with many sights and a beautiful old quarter. The center is the square Marktplatz, and you can e.g. see the Marktkirche from the 16th century and the unique Roter Turm, which is the city’s landmark. Roter Turm was primarily built in the 15th century as a tower for a now historic church on the site. As a detail, you can see Halle’s Roland statue at the Roter Turm, and the city’s beautiful town hall is also located on the Marktplatz.
Halle is home to two castles, both located along the Saale. Moritzburg is close to the old town. It was built between 1483 and 1503, and is today set up as an art museum. A little further north is Burg Giebichenstein, the primary residence of the archbishops of Magdeburg from 1382-1503, after which they used the newly built Moritzburg. Giebichenstein is beautifully situated and is a great place for a hike.
There are many other things to see and explore in Halle. The city’s cathedral was built as a Dominican monastery church from 1271 and later rebuilt in the early 16th century. There are also several interesting museums in the city, such as the Händel-Haus, located in the birthplace of the composer Georg Friedrich Händel, the Halloren- und Salinemuseum for the city’s historically large salt production and the well-known Halloren Schokoladenfabrik displaying chocolate history.
Leipzig is a city with long and proud traditions in trade. It was here that the trade routes Via Regia and Via Imperii crossed each other, thereby connecting most of Europe through Leipzig. Trade created a wealthy city, which for a period was also one of the European strongholds for culture and education.
There are many beautiful and impressive buildings in Leipzig, where you can enjoy architecture from many eras. The city’s old town hall stands as one of Germany’s finest Renaissance buildings, and you can also see fine examples from the Baroque and later architectural styles, not least from historicism.
Magdeburg is a city beautifully located on the banks of the Elbe river and it is a city with many attractions, beautiful parks and a rich history that can be seen and explored several places in the centre. The city is of course also known for the Magdeburg Rights, which were a collection of city laws with a great influence on the governance of many European cities.
The cathedral dominates Magdeburg’s skyline and is one of the city’s most famous buildings. The church was founded by the Holy Roman Emperor Otto I, who is today buried in the cathedral. He established Magdeburg as what is popularly said to be the first capital of the German territory, and it boosted the city over the centuries.
There are several old churches and monasteries in Magdeburg, which is also characterized by beautiful and interesting buildings from more recent times. You can see many examples from the Gründerzeit era and from the GDR’s magnificent 1950s architecture. It is also in Magdeburg that you can enjoy Friedensreich Hundertwasser’s last project, Grüne Zitadelle.
Erfurt is located on the river Gera and is the capital of the German state of Thuringia. It is an old town that was mentioned already from the 8th century. Later, the city temporarily became the home of Martin Luther, who was a priest in Erfurt’s cathedral before he moved to Wittenberg. Later, Erfurt became historic when the first meeting between government leaders from the GDR and West Germany took place at the Hotel Erfurter Hof in 1970.
The old town of Erfurt, Altstadt, is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Germany, and there are many sights in the cozy streets. One of the best-known is the Krämerbrücke, a bridge from 1325 built with half-timbered houses on both sides of the cobblestoned road in the middle. Immediately west of the Krämerbrücke you can see the Alte Synagoge, which like the bridge also dates from around 1300.
