Summary

Strasbourg's Neustadt, a rare surviving example of German urban planning from the 19th century, stands as a testament to post-war reconciliation and historical resilience. Inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage list in 2017, it symbolizes the region's complex history, including its destruction during the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) and its preservation through both world wars. The study highlights Neustadt's architectural significance as a bridge between Alsatian and German influences, offering insights into urban memory and cultural identity. By analyzing historical records and urban development patterns, the research underscores the site's role in shaping Strasbourg's post-conflict narrative.
