Facts and practical information

Festung Mark, formerly known as Kaserne Mark, is a former "defensive barracks" of the Magdeburg Fortress. Today it is used as a center for cultural events in Magdeburg. The building is now a listed monument. Due to the few surviving defensive barracks in Germany, the Mark Fortress has a supra-regional significance for the history of military construction in the 19th century.
