A "region with soul": The Altmark region is diverse, traditional, and yet modern. It is located in close proximity to the metropolises of Wolfsburg and Magdeburg, as well as the historic towns of Salzwedel, Stendal, Tangermünde, and Gardelegen. Hardly any other German region boasts so many Hanseatic cities in such a small area. Furthermore, there are other advantages to living and working in this up-and-coming business location: In addition to a diverse range of wildlife and fantastic excursion destinations such as the Romantic Road, the Half-Timbered House Road, and the Way of St. James, the Altmark region also offers comprehensive educational opportunities – from daycare centers to universities in Stendal, Magdeburg, and Wolfsburg.
