Neustadt

Your cruise continues to the outer limits of the Neustadt, or "New Town", district, developed during the annexation of Alsace-Moselle (1871-1918) to transform Strasbourg into a capital worthy of the new Reichsland (imperial territory) and to welcome there its new emperors (no less than three Kaisers succeeded the throne during this brief period: William I, Frederick III and William II). The Saint Pierre Le Jeune church, the Palais du Rhin, the National University Library, the National Theatre or even the Church of St. Paul are characteristic buildings showcasing German architecture from this era.
