Overview

The Neustadt, meaning "New Town" in German, is a district in Strasbourg that dramatically expanded the city after Alsace-Moselle became part of the German Empire in 1871. Chosen as the capital of the new Reichsland, Strasbourg needed to reflect its elevated status, leading to the Neustadt becoming a showcase of Imperial power under Kaiser Wilhelm I.The district is characterized by its wide avenues, imposing squares, and a unique blend of architectural styles, including Neo-Renaissance, Neo-Gothic, and Art Nouveau. This distinguishes it from the more medieval architecture of the Grande Île, Strasbourg's historical center. The Neustadt's urban planning combines the Haussmannian model with German architectural elements, resulting in a distinctive cityscape.Key landmarks in the Neustadt include the Palais du Rhin, the former imperial palace; the National and University Library; the National Theatre of Strasbourg; and St. Paul's Church. Avenue de la Liberté, designed to be Strasbourg's version of the Champs-Élysées, connects the Palais du Rhin and the Palais Universitaire. The Place de la République, a circular plaza, serves as a central point linking the Grande Île and the Neustadt.In 2017, the Neustadt was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, extending the existing designation of the Grande Île. This acknowledges the district's exceptional value as an example of late 19th-century urban planning and its unique blend of Franco-German influences.
