Tangermünde is a town in the district of Stendal, in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. It covers 90 sq km (35 sq mi) and has a population of 11,000 people (2012 estimate).

Tangermünde was named for the fact that it is at the mouth of the river Tanger where it meets the river Elbe, within the Altmark region of Saxony-Anhalt. The town has a history going back a thousand years. In the 14th century, it was one of the favorite places of Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV.

Today Tangermünde has a well-preserved old town. Its medieval wall is still intact, complete with its fortified gates. Within the town itself are beautifully restored timber-framed houses that are particularly charming.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
