Beautiful Neighbourhood in Augsburg
Bismarckviertel (Alpenstraße)
Bismarckviertel ("Bismarck Quarter") is part of the 3rd city district "Bahnhofs- und Bismarckviertel", which consists of the three parts Bahnhofsviertel ("Railway Station Quarter"), Beethovenviertel and Bismarckviertel.
"Augsburg's Bismarckviertel [similar to the Beethovenviertel] was developed in the last decade of the 19th century as a middle-class residential area close to the city centre outside the old town. It is part of the first major urban expansion after the abolition of Augsburg's fortress status in 1860 and the subsequent demolition of the western city fortifications in 1867.[...]
For decades, the Bismarckviertel [...] was a preferred residential area for Jewish citizens. During the Third Reich, however, most families of Jewish faith fled abroad to escape the Nazis' racial mania or were expelled from their homes."

The Bismarckviertel is not only very popular with middle-class families, but for decades has also been popular with students or other people who like to live in shared flats, so-called "Wohngemeinschaften" or "WGs", as they greatly appreciate the spacious and bright flats in the stately Gründerzeit buildings. In the 1970s, I lived in a parallel street in my first WG.
