Map of the Magdeburg region Template:Circa.

The region was formed in 1815 as a subdivision of the Kingdom of Prussia's Province of Saxony. In 1944, it was briefly separated as a province in its own right – the Province of Magdeburg – before becoming part of post-war Saxony-Anhalt within the Soviet occupation zone after World War II and then East Germany in 1949. Both the states and the Template:Lang of East Germany were disbanded in 1952, with Magedeburg largely becoming Template:Lang. During reunification in 1990, it was reconstituted as part of the revived Saxony-Anhalt. The Template:Lang was disbanded on January 1, 2004. Its functions were taken over by the Template:Lang, which has three offices at the former seats of the Template:Lang.
