Neustadt in Sachsen: Götzinger Höhe, Neustadt - Zentrum mit Markt, Rathaus und St. Jacobi Kirche
Neustadt in Sachsen occupies a broad valley of the Polenz in eastern Saxony, between the rolling Lusatian Hills and the sandstone country of Saxon Switzerland. The town has a compact centre of red-roofed houses, with residential streets, small businesses and public buildings extending into a landscape of fields, tree belts and low wooded ridges. Agriculture remains an evident part of the surrounding settlement pattern, while the nearby hills give Neustadt a distinctly rural setting. Götzingerhöhe, a local hill named after the Saxon scholar Wilhelm Leberecht Götzinger, is closely associated with the town. Neustadt is part of the Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge district, a region where settled valleys meet the uplands of southeastern Germany.

Formed around a settlement in the Polenz valley, Neustadt in Sachsen developed into a small town on the northern fringe of Saxon Switzerland. The Polenz flows through terrain where the Lusatian Highlands meet the sandstone country associated with the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, giving the area a character distinct from the nearby Elbe valley. Neustadt is also known as the Flower Town, and its annual Neustädter Blumenfest celebrates this local identity. Regional rail and road connections link the town with Sebnitz, Pirna and Dresden, while the Saxon Switzerland National Park lies to the south.
