Neustadt (district)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Location of the Neustadt district in Dresden.

The Neustadt is a district of the city ​​center of Dresden . It largely combines those corridors on the right bank of the Elbe that were part of Dresden before the great waves of incorporation .

The Neustadt district (orange) with the boundaries of the Neustadt district (red) and the statistical districts (red / white) as well as the district names

It extends beyond the historic city center of the former Altendresden to parts of the Dresden suburbs and, together with the districts of Altstadt I and II, is one of the largest districts of the Saxon state capital in terms of area. While almost all other districts are in their own districts, the Neustadt district consists of several districts. Next to the inside of it includes 26er ring located inside Neustadt also sometimes called Antonstadt called Outer Neustadt , the Leipzig suburbs , the Radeberger suburb and the Albert City . The Neustadt district extends from the Pieschener Hafen in the west to the Mordgrund Bridge in the east and from the Kitchen Bridge over the Prießnitz in the north to the Augustus Bridge in the south.

The municipal area already existed in the 19th century to a large extent as it is today. Exceptions to this are the northern suburbs of Leipzig and Albertstadt, which was created for the Saxon Army and which remained formally independent as a self-sufficient military town until 1945. In the 1950s, the southeast of Trachenberg , which until 1897 had belonged to the independent estate district Wilder Mann under the field name Jeßnitz and was then built on with the Oberer Hecht settlement , was added to the district of Leipziger Vorstadt and has since been in the Neustadt district.

Adjacent demarcations are Pieschen and Trachenberge in the northwest, Hellerberge and Klotzsche in the north, the Dresdner Heide in the northeast and Loschwitz in the east. Already on the left side of the Elbe are the districts of Friedrichstadt and Old Town I and II with the Inner Old Town , the Wilsdruffer Vorstadt , the Pirnaische Vorstadt and the Johannstadt .

The Neustadt as a district is primarily of importance for the cadastral system . For statistical purposes , the five districts of the district form just as many statistical districts of the same name within slightly different boundaries . These are grouped together in the Neustadt district, which is therefore quite similar in area to the Neustadt district. However, since the old district boundaries were often ignored in the formation of the statistical districts, some parts of the Neustadt district are not in the district of the same name. This applies in particular to the Albertpark in the southwestern Dresdner Heide , which has belonged to Dresden since 1899 and is part of the Loschwitz district , as well as the west ( Neudorf ) and northwest of the Leipzig suburb, which thus partially belongs to the Pieschen district.
