[edit] Old talk

Nice example of perfect propaganda.

995 By a patent of Otto III Silesia was attached to the see of Meissen? under the archbishopric of Magdeburg. Soon after Otto III founded Breslau bishopric and Breslau city in Silesia.

I don't know if SIlesia was attachefd to Meissen, but it is possible. It is true that soon after (in 1000) Otton III founded Wroclaw (Breslau) bishopric (but it was founded under Gniezn archbishopric) but Breslau was definetely not founded by OTTON III

[edit] Water bridge?

I heard there was some special kind of 'water bridge/canal' in Magdeburg. Can anybody verify it/link/provide photos? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 22:07, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

It's a water-filled bridge over the Elbe that connects the Mittellandkanal with the Elbe-Havel-Kanal so that ships do not have to go through locks in order to get from one canal to the other. [1] --Chl 00:58, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

So it's something like a navigable aqueduct? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 14:19, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, here is a link to a photo on this site. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdeburg
