Neustadt is an inner-city district of Hamburg, where the KomponistenQuartier gathers house-museums to Bach, Hasse, Mahler and the Mendelssohns.
About Neustadt
Where to stay in Neustadt
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Staying inside Neustadt puts the KomponistenQuartier Hamburg within a walk rather than a journey, with the Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Museum, the Johann Adolf Hasse Museum and the Gustav Mahler Museum on neighbouring addresses. Distances stay short. Toward the Australhaus the frontages turn commercial, and Geschichtsort Stadthaus stands inside the same grid of streets.
If you want the wider civic collections, the houses of the Stiftung Historische Museen Hamburg are reachable across the district.
About Neustadt
What are the main landmarks in Neustadt?
The KomponistenQuartier Hamburg strings small house-museums along a single Neustadt address. Rooms given to Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, to Johann Adolf Hasse, to Gustav Mahler and to the Fanny & Felix Mendelssohn Museum set out the composers whom the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg keeps in memory. Stone tells another story.
SteinZeiten (Museum) works through rock and building material, while the Australhaus carries the trade-house manner of the quarter. Geschichtsort Stadthaus marks a designated site of history, and the Stiftung Historische Museen Hamburg oversees several of the city's collections.
What is the history of Neustadt?
Neustadt means new town. Under the KomponistenQuartier Hamburg banner, house-museums honour Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Johann Adolf Hasse, Gustav Mahler and the siblings behind the Fanny & Felix Mendelssohn Museum, each of them commemorated inside the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. Geschichtsort Stadthaus marks a designated site of history a few streets away, and the Stiftung Historische Museen Hamburg keeps the wider civic record.
Where is Neustadt?
Neustadt covers barely two square kilometres at the core of Hamburg, close-built enough that the KomponistenQuartier museums sit a few streets apart.
