Neustadt an der Weinstraße is best known in Rhineland-Palatinate for Hambach Castle, where the Hambach Festival of 1832 became a landmark event in Germany’s democratic movement. The city lies on the German Wine Route, between the vine-covered Haardt hills and the Palatinate Forest, one of Germany’s largest contiguous forest areas. Winegrowing shapes local life, from the autumn German Wine Harvest Festival to the election of the German Wine Queen. The historic centre, with its timber-framed houses and market square, provides an urban counterpoint to the surrounding vineyards.
