Neustadt an der Aisch

Neustadt an der Aisch is a town of approximately 13,000 residents located at 290 meters elevation in northern Bavaria, featuring well-preserved medieval architecture including traditional half-timbered houses and the historic Nürnberger Tor gate.

First documented as Riedfeld in 741 AD and later as Nivenstadt in 1285, the town became part of the Hohenzollern territory and served as an important trading post between Würzburg and Nuremberg throughout the medieval period.

The baroque town hall features a famous goat figure that turns daily at noon, commemorating a local legend about a clever tailor who saved the town from siege by using a disguised goat to deceive enemy forces.

The town maintains official contact information at telephone +49 (0) 9161 666-0 and email info@neustadt-aisch.de, with municipal services available through their website www.neustadt-aisch.de and postal code 91413.

The town hosts twin city relationships with Montespertoli in Italy and Hino in Japan, reflecting its international connections despite being a small Bavarian municipality with deep historical roots.
