New way ; Old Town district ; ZIP 39104

Today: Weitlingstraße (its southern part)
Paradoxically, this street was one of the oldest in the city. The road is likely to have been built around the year 1000 . The city wall was originally located in the Hauptwache area and thus only a little north of the Old Market in Carolingian times. Around the year 1000 the city was expanded to the north. The new Ottonian city wall was built a little further north, the remains of which are at house no. 15 could still be seen until the destruction in World War II. A breakthrough was made through the Carolingian wall to develop the new urban area. This is likely to have created the "new way" that kept its name for almost 1000 years. Another northern expansion of the city took place around 1230 . The Neue Weg was accordingly led further north to Peterstraße , with this northern extension being significantly narrower than the southern part.
In the course of the reconstruction of the city after the destruction of the Second World War, which did not adhere to the grown urban structure, a slightly different street layout took place in the northern part of the Neuer Weg. The old street layout is still visible in front of the box house of the Masonic lodge "Ferdinand zur Glückseeligkeit". After the Second World War, the traditional street was renamed in honor of the Magdeburg workers' leader Wilhelm Weitling .
