  > The city has a weird fascination with people called "Otto". Equally revered is Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor, who a 1000+ years ago made Magdeburg his city of residence. Also the German comedian Otto Waalkes (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Otto_Waalkes&oldid=874260876 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Otto_Waalkes&oldi...) and Otto von Bismarck (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_von_Bismarck https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_von_Bismarck) - even though in opposite to Otto I and Otto von Guericke these two are not from Magdeburg.
