Buckau (Magdeburg)

Buckau is a quarter of the city of Magdeburg, capital of the German state of Saxony-Anhalt.

Buckau lies directly on the river Elbe opposite the southern part of the Rotehorn Landscape Park.

To the north, on the roads of Erich-Weinert-Straße and Schönebecker Straße towards Harnackstraße and Steubenallee is Magdeburg’s old town, the Altstadt.

Buckau ist also the start of the so-called chain of pearls of quarters which include Fermersleben, Salbke and Westerhüsen to the south.

Apart from its northern and southern areas, the quarter is densely populated and still has several entire streets in the architectural Gründerzeit style.
