The Magdeburger Biographische Lexikon (short MBL) is a specialized dictionary for biographies related to the city of Magdeburg and the surrounding districts of Börde, Jerichower Land, and the former Schönebeck Land.
In addition to politicians, the book includes entrepreneurs, athletes, scientists, artists, military leaders and regional originals.
The first presentation took place in Magdeburg's Cathedral of St. Sebastian [de].
The foreword was written by the then Minister President of Saxony-Anhalt, Reinhard Höppner.
The MBL is also published in an online version, which was last expanded in April 2007 and has 1795 biographies.
