Riverside Path in Herrenkrugpark

Lauftechnisch the route is recommended

The area of today's Herrenkrugpark was originally heavily forested and characterized by the steadily changing course of the Elbe. Already in former times it came to strong clearings.
The site was owned by the city of Magdeburg and was used by the magistrate for grazing, hay and timber extraction. Due to frequent thefts, the council decided in 1676 to set up a guardhouse. However, the house was also used as a tavern and especially by those on the highway Magdeburg - Burg travelers. This inn was called Neuer Krug or, as it was owned by the councilors, Herrenkrug. This name remained until today. In addition to the tavern and accommodation was offered. Further tasks of the respective tenant were the care of a ferry, the guidance of a dairy and the guidance of the urban property.Source and further information:
