Neustadt an der Weinstrasse Attractions
Neustadt an der Weinstrasse (pop. 53,000) is one of the great centers of the Palatinate. In the Marktplatz stands the twin-towered Stiftskirche (1368-1489), with the "Imperial Bell", one of the largest cast steel bells in the world. Opposite the church is the handsome Town Hall (18th-19th C). There is an interesting Railway Museum (trips on the "Cuckoo Line").
In the district of Hambach, to the southwest of Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, is the Hambacher Schloss (the Maxburg), which was destroyed in 1688; the interior was restored from 1979 onwards. This was the scene of the "Hambacher Fest" in 1832, a demonstration in favor of democracy and republican government.
