Humanitarian hardship and persecution are the main reasons why people flee their homes. Around 114 million people were on the run at the end of 2023.At least 8,565 people died on international migration routes that year, making it the deadliest year for migrants since 2014.As safe migration routes are always limited, hundreds of thousands of people try to migrate via irregular routes under unsafe conditions. More than half of the deaths were the result of drowning, with routes across the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, the English Channel or the Caribbean being particularly dangerous.
Historically, Schönebeck played an important role in industrial development. In particular, salt extraction and processing and the chemical industry shaped the town's economy.
In addition to historic buildings such as the castle and St. Johannis Church, the center of Schönebeck is home to prefabricated buildings called M10. These 10-storey buildings were mainly built in the Magdeburg/Schönebeck region and provide an insight into the social structure of the town.

"My city, my district, my neighborhood, my area
My street, my home, my block".
With these words, German rapper Sido raps about the Märkisches Viertel in Berlin, Reinickendorf.

Halle-Neustadt was founded 58 years ago as the "City of Chemical Workers". HaNeu, as this district is called after the capital of the socialist country Vietnam, is the largest planned city in the GDR.
