Hof in Biedermeier: From Fire to Bloom – a City Tour through the Neustadt

After the devastating city fire of 1823, Hof reinvented itself. In just a few decades, the Neustadt emerged in the style of bourgeois classicism – shaped by the spirit of Biedermeier. This guided city tour makes local history tangible and shows how facades, squares, and everyday stories tell the story of a city's transformation.

Architecture you can feel: Classic Lines and Calm Proportions

Explorers look at clear facade divisions, harmonious window axes, and restrained decorations. The tour leads through the Neustadt and illustrates how bourgeois self-confidence has been inscribed in stone and plaster. A city tour here means cultural enrichment: architecture becomes a stage, bringing the past to life.

Local History on Site: From Fire to Progress

At authentic locations, guests learn how modern urban planning and safety concepts were introduced after the fire. Stories about craftsmanship, trade, and bourgeois everyday culture show how Hof shaped its revival. This creates a discovery experience that combines backgrounds and explains connections.

City Center Flair: Short Distances, Sensory Impressions

Cobblestones, squares, and sight lines characterize the picture. The guide draws attention to details that one might easily overlook alone. The tour offers orientation for subsequent strolls – ideal for discovering cafes and shops around Ludwigstraße.
