NEW BUILDING - Column of the Magdeburg Law
Magdeburg Law (German Magdeburger Recht) is one of the most famous systems of city law, which developed in the 13th century in Magdeburg as a feudal city law, according to which economic activity, property rights, social and political life and the estate state of the townspeople were regulated by their own system of legal norms, which corresponded to the role of cities as centers of production and monetary exchange. In other words, it is a privilege, the right to the independence of the city from the feudal lords. Under this right, cities received their legal, economic, socio-political and property independence.
In honor of the day of knowledge, the opportunity to build the Column of Magdeburg Law appeared in the clan castle. The building is very expensive and prestigious.
