Magdeburg (-deˈmakdəbʊɐ̯k; local: -dediaˈmaxdəbʊɪç; Low Saxon: Meideborg, -dediaˈmaˑɪdebɔɐx), is the largest city and the capital city of the Bundesland of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Magdeburg is situated on the Elbe River and was one of the most important medieval cities of Europe.

Emperor Otto I, the first Holy Roman Emperor, lived for most of his reign in the town and was buried in the cathedral after his death. Magdeburg's version of German town law, known as Magdeburg rights, spread throughout Central and Eastern Europe. The city is also well-known for the 1631 Sack of Magdeburg, which hardened Protestant resistance during the Thirty Years' War.

Magdeburg is the site of two universities, the Otto-von-Guericke University and the Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences.

Nowadays Magdeburg is a traffic junction as well as an industrial and trading centre.

The production of chemical, steel, paper and textile products are of particular economic significance, along with heavy mechanical engineering.

Along with ten other cities in Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony and Thuringia, Magdeburg is a member of the metropolitan area - central Germany.

In 2005 Magdeburg celebrated its 1200th anniversary.

And his name is Bill. together they are Devilish from Magdeburg. Devilish rockmusic, handwritten and selfmade. There are a lot of bands like this , but these boys have 2 special things. First, they are making music while being very young. Second, their frontman Bill is a little star. He participated in the tv show Starsearch. He competed against thousands of other people and made it all the way to the quarter final. Nobody expected he would come this far. Bill: It was totally cool. Even though I had to leave the competition the memories are going to stay. All the people, it was really nice, to work with them and the vocal coaches it was really great. After Bills performance in the show a few things have changed. He now gets recognized and people ask for autographs. It is a positive thing for the band, Bills popularity is making the band more famous. The website of Devilish is clicked on 10 times more often then before. Big record companies have shown interest, but they wont reveal anything more. What they want to reach is clear. Gustav: A record deal.

Rolf Zuckowski - Danke lieber Tannenbaum 2007 mit den Elbkindern Magdeburg Die Nüsse sind geknackt, Geschenke ausgepackt, das neue Spielzeug ausprobiert, ob alles funktioniert. Der müde Weihnachtsmann sieht sich von oben an, was er mit allerletzter Kraft gerade noch geschafft. Stumm stehst du daneben, strahlst in deinem Kerzenschein. Du bringst Hoffnung, Licht und Leben in die Winternacht hinein. Danke, lieber Tannenbaum, für diese schöne Zeit, danke für das Glück und für dein buntes Lichterkleid. Danke sagt dir jeder Blick, solang du bei uns bist. Schade, dass die Zeit mit dir so bald zu Ende ist. Die Kinder sind erwacht, vorbei die heil'ge Nacht, und immer noch liegt in der Luft der süÃe Weihnachtsduft. Die Eltern drehn sich stumm noch mal im Bett herum, zum Aufstehn ist es viel zu früh, doch träumend ahnen sie: Wie die Kinder spielen, früh am Morgen ganz allein, was sie im Weihnachtszimmer fühlen, sogar noch ohne Kerzenschein. Danke, lieber Tannenbaum, für diese schöne Zeit, danke für das Glück und für dein buntes Lichterkleid. Danke sagt dir jeder Blick, solang du bei uns bist. Schade, dass die Zeit mit dir so bald zu Ende ist. Bald wirst du geplündert, das ist hier so Brauch, und die süÃen Sachen landen tief in unserm Bauch. Danke, lieber Tannenbaum, für diese schöne Zeit, danke für das Glück und für dein buntes Lichterkleid. Danke sagt dir jeder Blick, solang du bei uns bist. Schade, dass die Zeit mit dir so bald zu Ende ist.
