Neustadt an der Weinstraße (formerly known as “Neustadt an der Haardt”) is a town located in Rhineland-Palatinate. With 52,000 inhabitants, it is the largest town called
Neustadt .
Officially abbreviated as Neustadt a. d. Weinstr. , the name can be shortened as Neustadt/Weinstrasse (as on train departure and arrival boards) or Neustadt (Weinstrasse) . The name means new city on the wine route , as it lies on the German wine route (Deutsche Weinstrasse ). It is one of several dozen German and Austrian places called Neustadt . These new towns are typically distinguished by the rivers upon which they lie, the regions they are located in or, in this case, a peculiar distinctive feature.

The market square is surrounded by many half-timbered houses. Neustadt has one of the warmest climates in Germany, and summer temperatures of 30-35oC are common. Most important for Neustadt’s economy are tourism and wine, as in the entire Palatinate.
