Magdeburg is the capital of Sachsen-Anhalt (Saxony-Anhalt) one of the the Bundesländer (constituent states) of Germany. With about 230,000 inhabitants it is the second largest city of the state. Magdeburg is the seat of a Roman-Catholic bishop and of a bishop in the Evangelical Church. It houses the Otto von Guericke University. One of the facts that the city is known for is that it was a Kaiserpfalz (literally "Emperor's palace") of Otto the Great, crowned in 962 as the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. In 2005 Magdeburg celebrated its 1200th anniversary.
