🌞 A Day Trip Around Berlin - Stendal 🚂

🌞 Killing time in the summer vacation 🚆 Taking the RE4 from Berlin Jungfernheide to Stendal 🕰️ The entire journey takes 1 hour and 17 minutes 💡 Compared to the nearby cities of Magdeburg and Tangermünde, Stendal doesn't seem to have much fame. However, history is spread beneath your feet in this city, which began to prosper in the late Middle Ages. It is not short of timber-framed houses, but it is mainly characterized by North German brick Gothic architecture. St. Marienkirche, located behind the town hall, and Uenglinger Tor are typical representatives. Through the defensive function of the city gate, people can also understand Stendal from the special perspective of the light cavalry. 📍As a garrison city, it has a history of more than 350 years. From 1884 to 1919, the 10th Magdeburg Light Cavalry Regiment was stationed here. In 1900, members of the regiment were sent to China as part of the East Asian Expeditionary Force. Between 1903 and 1904, during the uprising in German Southwest Africa, a detachment of the cavalry regiment also reinforced the German troops there. #49EuroTicketGermanyTrip #CityOuting #GermanLife #DayTrip #TravelGuide #BeautifulSceneryOnTheJourney
