Customised offers such as information events or taster tours for talents are intended to continuously expand our service for you.

City invests more than 133 million euros

At the beginning of the year, Mayor Simone Borris gave an outlook on the most important projects for 2024. There are numerous investments that will further improve urban life and infrastructure. These include the completion of the Hyparschale and the Strombrückenzug, plans for the construction of numerous new bridges, the construction and renovation of schools and daycare centres and further preparations for the Intel relocation. The state capital will invest more than 133 million euros this year.

Rent index for Magdeburg

The City of Magdeburg launched a qualified rent index at the beginning of the year. It is valid until 30 January 2026 and is available as a brochure as well as an online calculator. Tenants can use it to calculate the local comparative rent for their flat from the comfort of their own computer. The qualified rent index should lead to a positive relationship between tenants and landlords and reduce legal disputes between them. In the context of rent increase procedures, it offers both contracting parties transparent reference points for an appropriate margin of manoeuvre. The information is non-binding and without guarantee. The background to this is the reform of rent index legislation.

Register school starters 2025 now!

All children starting school in summer 2025 must be registered at their assigned primary school by 31 March 2024. This applies to all children born between 1 July 2018 and 30 June 2019. Registration for the 2025/2026 school year also applies if the child is to attend another primary school or an independent school. The contact details of the individual primary schools can be found on the school website. If you have any questions about school enrolment, please contact the relevant staff in the Department of Schools and Sport under tel. +49 (0)391 540 3026 and -3016.

Changes for online appointment booking at the Citizens' Registration Offices

In order to be able to continue to provide appointments at short notice, the online appointment booking for the citizens' offices will be changed to a lead time of two weeks from 18 March. The calendar is currently still open six weeks in advance. The reason given is the increasing demand for prompt appointments. In particular, timely appointment requests, for example to meet the statutory registration deadline of 14 days after moving into a new home, can be fulfilled in this way. For emergencies, such as applying for a document after theft or loss, the contingent consultation hours at the citizens' offices will continue to be available Monday to Friday from 8.00 to 9.00 a.m. Depending on staffing levels, additional daytime appointments will also continue to be available online.
