Neustadt in Holstein - a charming coastal town in northern Germany located on the Baltic Sea
Neustadt in Holstein is a charming coastal town located on the Baltic Sea in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, in northern Germany. The town was founded in 1244 and has a long maritime history, where the port has been a central part of the town's life. Today, the port is a combination of historical importance and modern development. Neustadt's port originated in a natural fjord-like inlet, which provided protection for shipping already in the Middle Ages. During the 17th century, the port was an important place for shipbuilding, where, among others, the Danish fleet was equipped. In the 19th century, the port's importance grew with the construction of customs stations and a railway connection in 1866, which promoted trade, especially with grain. In modern times, the port has developed into a place for recreational shipping, with a marina and an active boating life. Currently, development projects are underway on the western side of the harbor, including the construction of a new residential area, a promenade and a new harbor bridge to improve traffic flow and create an attractive place for both residents and visitors.
