Straßburg: The Kaiser's Neustadt, 1900
Straßburg in 1900 is a city split and remade — the dense, timbered Grande Île retains medieval streets and the cathedral, while across new avenues the German Empire has carved the Neustadt with monumental sandstone public buildings. This walk follows the new imperial axis and the older island alike: tramlines, university halls, palace façades and canal-side workshops reveal how two city-centres meet in daily life.
36 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Strasbourg as it stood in 1900 (“Neustadt, Strasbourg”).
