Strasbourg: Neustadt

Neustadt is the German part of the city. You're still in France but this part of the city was built while the city was under German rule and the architecture is influenced by the ideas that were popular in Germany at the time of the late 1800s and early 1900s. The name translates into "New City" and that is exactly what it was supposed to be.
