About the term and name customer
In medieval cities, a suburb was an area of the city that lies outside the city wall of the core city . The suburbs were less densely built up and offered space for businesses that found no space in the city or that was disruptive, such as B. for tanners , because of the smell. A suburb is often located along the arteries of the city or forms a ring around the core city with several suburbs.
However, the suburb was not subject to city law , nor did its residents have the rights of citizenship of the city and were only allowed to use their protection in exceptional cases. In the course of urban development , however, certain suburbs were often annexed to the city as a new town and then usually surrounded by a separate wall. Therefore Neustadt is a quite common name of districts.
Suburbs are also used today to refer to incorporated places and planned city extensions. Furthermore, the term is used for a collection of upstream settlements ( suburbs ) in large metropolitan areas , such as the suburbs of Athens or the banlieues of the Île-de-France around Paris . These suburbs are in the narrow sense but satellite cities or satellite towns .
