The Roland of Magdeburg is a medieval statue on the Old Market Square in Magdeburg.
The figure depicts the knight Roland, who was considered a symbol of city rights and freedom in the Middle Ages. Many cities in Europe erected such Roland statues when they had received certain rights from the emperor.
The Magdeburg Roland stands directly in front of the town hall and serves as a reminder that the city had special rights and self-governance early on. Today, it is an important historical landmark of the city.
