Neustadt, which literally translates to New Town, is a district that was created by the Germans in the late 1800s during the Reichsland period as a more modern extension of the old city. Its decades-long creation was a turning point in Strasbourg’s history, and today, Neustadt offers visitors the opportunity to see an exceptional blend of European architectural influences. The area stretches from the old part of the city toward the Palais du Rhin and comprises several other historic monuments and buildings such as the University Palace, the National Theatre of Strasbourg, St. Paul’s Church, the Strasbourg Railway Station, and the Palais de Justice.
