story
After the end of the GDR the state of Saxony-Anhalt was the ländereinführungsgesetz from the two districts of Magdeburg and Halle founded. The areas administered by the central government from East Berlin have now become a federal, independent federal state. Except for minor territorial differences, the territory of those two districts was taken over. These in turn were based on the state of Saxony-Anhalt , previously the Prussian province of Saxony, which existed for a short time from 1945 to 1949 in the Soviet Zone and until 1952 in the GDR. In fact, there were already two state parliaments in Saxony-Anhalt that were elected in 1946 and 1950 . The state election in 1946 was the only democratic election in all of East Germany between 1933 and 1990. However, the parties' equal opportunities in this election were influenced by the influence of the occupation authorities in favor of the SED.
The first state parliament was elected on October 14, 1990. But it was not until 1992 that the state parliament passed the Saxony-Anhalt constitution, so that there was an "unconstitutional" period of around two years. At that time, a provisional order, which was passed at the very first session on October 28, 1990, regulated the interaction between the MPs and the government.

Parliament building
The first state parliament, elected after the restoration of the state of Saxony-Anhalt, held its first six sessions from October 28, 1990 to December 20, 1990 provisionally in Dessau in the Johann-Philipp-Becker barracks. There, with a narrow majority, Magdeburg and not Halle was designated as the seat of the state parliament. The state parliament has been meeting since January 17, 1991 in the “Domplatz 6–9” building complex in Magdeburg, which was previously the seat of the engineering school for water management. In almost two decades and after renovation work for 44.89 million euros, the ensemble of the state parliament building has developed in several construction phases into today's modern and barrier-free parliament seat, which has a modern, functional design behind the bourgeois-Baroque facade in the tradition of the Bauhaus .
