The sculpture Der Fährmann is located in the northern area of the Elbe promenade. It shows a ferryman on the one hand and scenes from Magdeburg's city history on the other.

"The powerful pose with which the ferryman heads for the eastern (Elbe) bank is to be understood symbolically. With this force, which is necessary to get across the water, I wanted to show the efforts that those on the river have made for a thousand years living Magdeburgers go out to strike ties of trade across the Elbe and to report on their city with cultural and historical achievements. " This is how the Magdeburg sculptor Eberhard Roßdeutscher explains the work of art, which was deliberately located at the easternmost point of old Magdeburg.
