Halle-Neustadt

The development itself extends east to west for approximately 4 kilometres and is approximately one kilometre (1,100 yards) wide. Much of the housing is located within the international mass transit standard of 400 metres (yards) from a station on the core axis. Virtually all housing is high rise, with some towers reaching 11 floors. Medium rise buildings tend to have six floors without lifts.

Since the dissolution of East Germany and the subsequent deconstruction of much of East German Industry, the town has, like many other East German towns, suffered from population loss. There are a number of empty buildings, including high rise buildings, and even some that have been gutted. The city of Halle itself has lost a quarter of its population in barely 15 years — and it appears that most of the exodus has come from Halle Neustadt. Residents have taken the opportunity to move to the city itself or to the suburban communities that ring Halle.
