history
The Neustadt was created in 1632 after the resettlement of the Westceller Vorstadt in favor of the expansion of the city fortifications during the Thirty Years War had become necessary. As early as 1664, 67 residential buildings were counted. In the same year there was a plague epidemic, after which the Neustadt was given its own cemetery.
From 1680 onwards, Duke Georg-Wilhelm zu Braunschweig-Lüneburg planned a planned town in a checkerboard pattern in front of the Westceller Tor , the final implementation of which did not take place. The approaches can only be seen in the Trift ( Neuenhäusen district ). In 1685, 1832 and 1862 there were devastating fires in the Neustadt.
Together with the village of Heese, the Neustadt was incorporated into Celle in 1869.
