About Neue Neustadt
Where to stay in Neue Neustadt
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
The Zoologischer Garten Magdeburg is the reason most visitors come out to Neue Neustadt, and a bed near it puts the Sankt-Nicolai-Kirche and the rest of the district within the same trip. Magdeburg's own centre holds more. Anyone choosing Neue Neustadt for the zoo will find a district of some four and a half square kilometres, with the Agnetenkloster and the Gedenkstätte Moritzplatz Magdeburg also inside it.
About Neue Neustadt
What are the main landmarks in Neue Neustadt?
The Zoologischer Garten Magdeburg is the one landmark here that fills a day on its own, and churches account for most of what remains, with the Sankt-Nicolai-Kirche among them and the Agnetenkloster carrying a convent's name. One site remembers rather than displays. The Gedenkstätte Moritzplatz Magdeburg is a memorial site, kept apart in purpose from the zoo and the parishes around it.
What is the history of Neue Neustadt?
Neue Neustadt's own name implies a sequence: a Neustadt existed before this one, which is why the district carries the word for new twice over in Magdeburg. The Sankt-Nicolai-Kirche marks one parish. The Gedenkstätte Moritzplatz Magdeburg holds the district's memorial function, a site set aside for remembrance rather than for worship or for the ordinary business of the streets around it.
Where is Neue Neustadt?
Neue Neustadt covers about four and a half square kilometres of Magdeburg, the ground that holds the Zoologischer Garten Magdeburg.
