Cathedral square ; Old Town district ; ZIP 39104

(Previously, until the 19th century, the term Neuer Markt was also in use)
The name Domplatz comes from the Magdeburg Cathedral adjoining the square to the south and has been popular since the 18th century. The original name Neuer Markt (as a contrast to the Alter Markt) was first mentioned in a document in 1294, but it is likely to be even older. With new market not only the area of the cathedral square, but the whole archbishop's administrative area was originally meant in the south of the old town. The name remained in use until the 19th century, albeit limited to the area around Domplatz.
Former natural history museum, Cathedral Square No. 5
Two large fires caused considerable damage to the buildings on Domplatz. The fire of 1207 led to the construction of the new cathedral. The fire of 1631 practically city-wide as part of the conquest of Magdeburg in the Thirty Years' War left less damage in the area of ​​the Domplatz. Firefighting parties of the conquerors and the citizens had gathered on the cathedral freedom. Therefore, several medieval buildings have been preserved in the area of ​​the Domplatz. As a result of the fires, the city issued a ban on the construction of half-timbered houses within the city.
The largest square in the city center was regularly used for gatherings and celebrations. In the 17th century, however, the place had become a cattle hanger. Cows and pigs grazed here, the houses fell into disrepair. In 1722, the fortress governor Prince Leopold I (Anhalt-Dessau) gave the order to pave the square. The place was now used as a parade ground. The development of the square now essentially consisted of baroque buildings, most of which have been preserved to this day. The subsequent fortress governor, Duke Ferdinand von Braunschweig , lavishly redesigned the square in 1764/1765. In particular, numerous linden trees were planted. The new design was called "The Plantation ". However, the function as a parade ground was retained. However, due to vandalism damage , the system quickly fell into disrepair. Already in 1776/1777 the square was re-leveled. However, the design as a tree-lined square with simultaneous use as a parade ground continued.
In 1936 a monumental SA monument was erected in the south-western part of the square in honor of the "fallen soldiers of the Mitte group". In 1945 the monument was damaged and then demolished.
In the following period archaeological excavations took place repeatedly on the cathedral square. Extensive foundations were uncovered here, which are shown on the square today. Originally, the finds were interpreted as the remains of Otto the Great's imperial palace . However, this is controversial today.
In 1989 the Domplatz was the site of the Magdeburg Monday demonstrations .
In the years that followed, the GDR 's development on the western side of the square was torn down and new buildings were built. However, this was controversial in public. In 2004, construction of the Magdeburg Hundertwasser House began on the northwest corner of the square .

Well-known people who lived here:

Domstrasse ; Old Town district ; ZIP 39104

Today:
At the cathedral (eastern part - since 1899)
Lothar-Kreyssig-Strasse (western part - since 2001)
The name was based on the Magdeburg Cathedral , the main portal of which the street runs towards. The Domstraße was originally the southernmost street in Magdeburg's old town and led from the Breite Weg to the Fürstenwall. From 1872 the city was expanded to the south. The houses on the south side of the street were demolished as part of the expansion. The last house to be demolished in 1898 was house no. 3 (former poor management) and the neighboring house from the early Middle Ages. Only buildings in the eastern area on the north side of the street, directly at the cathedral, remained. This (eastern) part of the street was renamed "Am Dom" in 1899. In 1921, the western part of Domstrasse was expanded to 30 m, similar to a square, to allow an unobstructed view of the cathedral. The southern side was built on with the Reichsbank building, which opened on April 23, 1923 and survived the Second World War. The development on the northern side is no longer preserved and has now been rebuilt.
In 2001, the Protestant Church in Magdeburg urged the street to be renamed after the Protestant theologian and founder of the Action atonement Lothar Kreyssig , who had lived nearby. This proposal was discussed controversially both in the city council and in public. In particular, the parliamentary group of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen opposed the proposal, since it would erase one of the oldest street names in the city and suggested naming another street after Lothar Kreyssig. With the votes of the CDU and SPD , however, the renaming was decided.

Dürerstrasse ; District Sudenburg ; ZIP 39112

Dungertweg ; Ottersleben district ; ZIP 39116

Named after the painter and graphic artist Max Dungert .
The designation was made by the city council on June 8, 2000, but was controversial. The Treuhandliegenschaftsgesellschaft mbH (TLG) wanted to develop a new residential area with 9 new streets. The TLG suggested naming artists from Magdeburg, including Max Dungert. The citizens' initiative “Citizens for Ottersleben” turned against this. They suggested old field names and village terms for naming. The Dungertweg should then be called “Zum Kartoffelgrund”. The CDU parliamentary group introduced a corresponding amendment to the city council. The reason given was that naming after people was rather unusual in the area and that there was no connection to Ottersleben. The amendment found a majority in the Local and Legal Committee. In the city council, however, the application was rejected, so that the street was named after Max Dungert.

Duvigneaustraße ; District Leipziger Strasse ; ZIP 39112

Today: Jean-Burger-Strasse (since April 11, 1965)
The street was named after the Magdeburg local politician and honorary citizen Johann Joseph Otto Duvigneau . In the GDR she received the name of the French communist Jean Burger . The reason for the renaming, which was carried out on April 11, 1965, was that Duvigneau was a "typical representative of the Magdeburg bourgeoisie of the previous century who had enriched themselves immeasurably through land speculation during the city expansion".
