The monument of Emperor Otto the Great can be admired near the town hall. The monument is an important landmark of Magdeburg.

The only free-standing equestrian statue from the High Middle Ages in Europe is located on the Old Market in Magdeburg. Created around 1240, it probably shows Emperor Otto the Great. While the original of the rider is now in the Cultural History Museum, a gold-plated copy can be found on the Old Market.

The Magdeburg Rider, together with his two accompanying figures, is one of the most important sculptures of European Gothic. The rider probably shows Emperor Otto the Great in the ideal type of a youthful Hohenstaufen ruler. He is accompanied by a shield bearer and a banner bearer.

The ugliest highlight of the city, so to speak.
