Magdeburg Parish and Civil Jurisdcitions, 1936
By Sonja Höke-Nishimoto

Introduction

Civil registration began in Magdeburg in 1874. There were six civil registration districts in Magdeburg. The specific addresses for each are not provided here but you should address your letter as follows:

An das Standesamt
39104 Magdeburg
Germany

Each parish maintained its own church records. When writing for information from church records you have a much greater chance of success if you know the specific parish your ancestor lived in. You must also know the religion of your ancestor and write to the appropriate church. Addresses of the churches in Magdeburg are given below.
