Old new town or historic old town? There can be confusion if you are not from Bad Kreuznach. In Bad Kreuznach, however, one thing is clear: the new town is the old town, i.e. the historical center of Bad Kreuznach.
This oddity is historical. Originally there were two settlements on the left and right of the Nahe, which were repeatedly devastated by armed conflicts. At the beginning of the 13th century, Count Gottfried von Sponheim had the Kauzenburg built above the north bank of the Nahe. The construction of a new city began, the "Neustadt".
It covers the area between the Alter Nahebrücke and Hofgartenstraße as well as between the palace gardens and the Stadthaus. It is characterized by its marketplaces, romantic half-timbered houses, narrow streets and striking monuments.
Again and again there was and is a dispute about the name: "Neustadt" in the sense of the proper name or "Altstadt" in today's sense of a city function. In April 2013, the Bad Kreuznach City Council officially put an end to the discussions by deciding to name it "Kreuznacher Neustadt - Historischer Stadtkern".

The old town has many historic buildings, some with half-timbered buildings. It's worth taking a stroll here or taking part in an organized city tour.
