La Neustadt

This neighborhood was established by the Germans during the period (1871-1918) to serve as a new center for the city. In contrast to the old town—which had narrow, crooked streets and fewer squares than today—the new town was designed with grand boulevards and broad, straight streets that were seen as modern and healthy. Many architectural styles were used, such as Gothic, Baroque, and others, and the features are often a mixture of several or all of these (historic) styles.
