We present XMM-Newton observations of the galaxy cluster Abell 514. This cluster shows a very complex X-ray morphology. Radio observations show that there are six radio sources located inside the cluster. This makes it possible to determine the magnetic field strength using the Faraday rotation method. This cluster is an example for the hierarchical growth of structure and a very interesting object for studying the correlation between magnetic field strength and X-ray properties.
