Magdeburg Region

The Magdeburg Region (German: Region Magdeburg) is the name of the central region in the state of Saxony-Anhalt in North Germany.

It includes the landscape units of Magdeburg Börde, Jerichow Land, the northern Harz Foreland and the Colbitz-Letzlingen Heath.

The centre of the region is the city of Magdeburg; other important towns are Haldensleben, Aschersleben, Staßfurt, Oschersleben, Schönebeck (Elbe) and Burg.

Towards the east the Elbe-Börde Heath transitions into the neighbouring region of Anhalt-Wittenberg.

To the south lies the Harz and the Saale-Unstrut Region, to the north the Altmark.
