Meanwhile in Magdeburg

Bike ride along the Elbe. Seems like the Way to Santiago passes through Magdeburg. How about it, Corriene, Steph and Tessa, should we start here next time? After 13 km came to Wassenstrassekreuz, biked over the aqueduct. In a little town, Glidenburg found out that Napoleon "was here". Some sheep with lambs on the way and Otto, the big man of Magdeburg. Otto von Guericke was the mayor and even discovered "der Vakuumluftpumpe" in 1660. In the tourist brochures Magdeburg is referred to as Ottostadt. There was apparently even a King Otto, I think in the 800 or 900 century.
