Altstadt is the German language word for old town, and generally refers to the historical town or city centre within the old town or city wall, in contrast to younger suburbs outside. Neustadt , the logical opposite of Altstadt, mostly stands for a part of the Altstadt in modern sense, sometimes only a few years younger than the oldest part, sometimes a late medieval enlargement. Most German towns have an Altstadt, even though the ravages of war have destroyed many of them, especially during the Thirty Years' War . In the War of the Palatinian Succession of 1688, the order to Brûlez le Palatinat! was executed by Mélac, devastating many cities and large parts of South Western Germany, like the Heidelberg Castle. Allied Strategic bombing during World War II destroyed nearly all large cities, with Dresden being the most prominent victim. Many smaller towns remained intact, for example Tübingen, Dinkelsbühl, Quedlinburg and Wismar. Some Altstadt parts in Freiburg, Berlin, Münster, Rothenburg ob der Tauber and famously Weimar and others have been restored. But most destroyed bigger German old towns were not reconstructed. Important old towns like those of Hildesheim, Braunschweig, Frankfurt, Kassel and Pforzheim were largely lost or only reconstructed in limited areas. Recent efforts of Altstadt reconstructions can be found in Dresden , Potsdam and Frankfurt .
