As Managing Director of Magdeburg Marketing Kongress und Tourismus GmbH, Hardy Puls is passionate about inspiring guests from near and far with the beauty of our city and Magdeburg’s potential. For this reason, he is also involved in the Board of Trustees of the Emperor Otto Cultural Foundation and in our city’s highest and most important award.

“The Emperor Otto Prize builds a bridge from Magdeburg, which was politically and culturally important at the time, to our current state capital in the heart of Europe. By awarding the prize, we are showing that we are aware of our history and our responsibility for peace. The prestigious Kaiser Otto Prize also draws attention to our city and its attractiveness as a place of eventful history, historical ruptures and new beginnings that can still be experienced today.”
