The Magdeburg Water Bridge is a large navigable aqueduct in central Germany, located near Magdeburg. The largest canal underbridge in Europe, it spans the river Elbe and directly connects the Mittellandkanal on the west side and Elbe-Havel Canal on the east side of the river, allowing large commercial ships to pass between the Rhineland and Berlin without having to descend into and then climb out of the Elbe itself.

Steffen Reichardt was born in Magdeburg in 1976 and moved to Cottbus in April 2017. He experiences the fascinating world of photography again and again when traveling, as well as on trekking and mountain bike tours lasting several days. The camera is his companion on these journeys. His favorite stylistic devices such as long exposure and creative image editing are expressed in his photographs. The photographic range includes landscape, architectural and digital art photography, with the viewer easily noticing his minimalist image compositions.
