in an interview with Gerhard Hofmann and Frank Sobirey, two committed newcomers, the advantages of the city were emphasized. Hofmann describes Neustadt as a living environment shaped by the beautiful landscape, the Haardtrand and the Palatinate Forest. Sobirey describes the city as a "favored piece of earth" and praises the good social situation and the commitment of the citizens, especially as part of the "Water in the city" project. Despite the past criticism of local politics and the infrastructure, there is a strong sense of weighing among the Neustadtern, which has also been made noticeable at the State Garden Show.
