Beautiful piece of the old city wall with the famous Geisbock.
The billy goat commemorates the legendary salvation of the city in 1461 when troops of Bavarian Duke Ludwig besieged it. A tailor had himself sewn into the skin of the last billy goat to show the enemy that there was an abundance of food. The besiegers are said to have given up their plan and the "hero in the goatskin" was celebrated as the savior of the city.

The landmark of Neustadt is the billy goat. It commemorates the city's rescue when it was besieged in 1461. This is reported in detail in the Neustadt Billy Goat Legend.
The billy goat can also be found on the town hall. Every day at 12 o'clock he does his rounds in the small tower, bleating and jumping.

Well-preserved piece of the Neustadt city wall, which used to encircle the entire old town and is now only partially standing. If you take a city tour, which is really recommended, you have the opportunity to go up the wall!
