| Summary | "Geschichte der Belagerung, Eroberung und Zerstörung Magdeburg's" by Otto von Guericke is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work provides a detailed recounting of the significant events surrounding the siege, capture, and destruction of the city of Magdeburg during the Thirty Years' War. Guericke, who served as both a councilor and mayor of the city, draws upon his firsthand experiences as an eyewitness to these tumultuous historical events. The opening of the text outlines the severe political and military pressures faced by Magdeburg, detailing the complex relationships amongst local authorities, the imperial forces, and foreign states. Guericke describes how internal conflicts and external threats converge, leading to a atmosphere of distrust and division within the city. He highlights the formation of delegations tasked with negotiating the city's stance amidst escalating tensions and the looming threat of military confrontation, setting the stage for the dramatic events that would follow in the narrative.
