German extension of Strasbourg
The Neustadt ( new city), also called the German district or the German extension , is a district of the center of Strasbourg, located at the east of the old city.
This district is surrounded of the Wacken and the Robertsau in north, of the Île to the Ears in the east, of the Neudorf in the south and the insular ellipse (the old city) in the west.
It is of the extension planned by the German city and authorities following the annexation of Strasbourg (and about the whole of the Alsace and the the Moselle) in 1871. She answered two major stakes: to answer a need increasing for residences and equipment in what became the capital of the Reichsland of Alsace-Lorraine, and to create a window of the German know-how in Urbanisme and Architecture, bound for the foreigner and of the local population, which it was a question of gaining with the Germanic cause.
