Ravelin 2 Magdeburg

Ravelin 2 Restoration Association
The non-profit Ravelin 2 Restoration Association is dedicated to the preservation and revitalization of the fortress complex completed in 1873 in Magdeburg. Despite severe damage from vandalism and post-war effects, association members have already invested thousands of volunteer hours: restoring infrastructure, repairing masonry, and reconstructing a historical bascule bridge.

A Hub for Fortress Tourism
In close cooperation with heritage authorities, the site is being incrementally developed into a major tourist destination. Highlights such as "Advent at the Ravelin," the "Magdeburg Fortress Days," and a permanent exhibition make the city's history tangible. As the fortress once housed prominent European prisoners, the association also aims to foster international cooperation and cultural exchange across borders.
