The Kaiserplatz in Strasbourg, now known as Place de la République, is the heart of the so-called „Neustadt“ (New Town). It is considered one of the most significant testaments to German urban planning and architecture from the era of the German Empire (1871–1918).
**Historical Significance & Architecture**
The square was laid out between 1883 and 1887, after Strasbourg was appointed the capital of the Reichsland of Alsace-Lorraine. It was intended to reflect the power and splendor of the new empire and forms the transition from the historic old town to modern Strasbourg.
