The history of this plant dates back to the time of origin of Magdeburg's old town. Since the site was used for the archiepiscopal Baumgarten, it has probably been used only as an open space and is therefore probably the oldest outdoor complex in the city.

The name Möllenvogtei dates back to the middle of the 15th century and refers to a mill located there and the archiepiscopal Vogt living nearby. The first mention of the Vogteigartens dates back to 1377, when the citizens of Magdeburg had to create a small harbor behind the Möllenvogtei, so that the archbishop had his own harbor.

To the west of the complex is the only surviving city gate of Magdeburg. It was built in 1493, after a predecessor building was demolished. The port declined in the following period, it is often mentioned in historical sources as a marsh, on the map of Otto von Guericke from 1632, the port is already enclosed by the city wall and has no exit.

After the establishment of the Kingdom of Westphalia the garden went in 1810 (as part of the monastery) to the Magdeburg Magistrate.

After renovation work in the last decade, the plant enjoys constant inflow, z. For example, through open-air theater performances.

The first mentioned in 1377, listed as a garden, is hidden behind the Fürstenwall, but worth the little detour down the stairs. In summer, open-air events take place here, giving the garden its special flair.

Access to the Möllenvogteigarten from the cathedral square is made by the exit at the Möllenvogtei, Magdeburg's only preserved city gate. East of the garden is the chancel of the St. Gangolfi Chapel. South is the house Fürstenwall 3b.
