L’Alsace, une région mobilisée dans la patrimonialisation de la Neustadt

The Neustadt district of Strasbourg, built under German urban planning after Alsace's annexation in 1870, serves as a symbolic representation of Franco-German relations and the complex history of Alsace. This study reveals how its patrimonialization reflects broader regional, national, and international acceptance of Alsace's past. By comparing the district's preservation efforts with historical narratives, it highlights the Neustadt's dual identity—shaped by both German urban design and French heritage conservation. The research traces key events that have shaped this urban landscape, emphasizing its role as a microcosm of Alsace's evolving relationship between France and Germany.
