BAAL novo

BAAL novo (now known as The Theatre Eurodistrict BAden ALsace since 2019) is a theatre in Offenburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The theatre was established in 2005 as a cross-border theatre. It holds the distinction of being the only bi-national theatre in Europe and is supported by a French association located in Strasbourg and a German association in Offenburg. As the theatre of the Eurodistrict Strasbourg-Ortenau, BAAL services the entire German-French border region. It also stands as the sole professional ensemble theatre within the Ortenau district, operating under the designation of a regional theatre. Initially, BAAL novo made a name for itself on the stages of regional theatres, until 2019, when it opened its own theatre venue, designed by architect and investor Jürgen Grossmann.Director Edzard Schoppmann leads a team of ten individuals who oversee the areas of direction, set and costume design, theatre education, management, administration, project and school management, public relations, and event technology for the company. The BAAL ensemble consists of approximately thirty regular performers. The theatre company produces three to four new plays each year, catering to audiences of children, young adults, and adults. Additionally, the Eurodistrict Theatre, in collaboration with members of the local community, stages a socio-cultural project once a year. At the beginning of 2023, the theatre hosted its first cross-border children's and youth theater festival called "Allez hop!".

Neuhof, Strasbourg

Neuhof (literally new land or new farm), is a suburb in the southern district of the French city of Strasbourg. Administratively, it is part of "Neuhof, Stockfeld, Ganzau" one of the ten districts of Strasbourg.Neuhof's borders are Meinau to the west, the Neudorf railway to the north, the Rhine and the forest of Neuhof (part of the natural reserve of the "massif forestier de Strasbourg-Neuhof/Illkirch-Graffenstaden") to the east and south, and the commune of Illkirch-Graffenstaden to the southwest. Between the Rhine and Neuhof falls part of the port of the Rhine, autonomous section of Strasbourg, with its many port "darse"s created during the 1950s. First mention of the name "Neue Hoff" was in 1424 for citing the creation of a farm within the domain of a village of Hundsfelden on the outskirts of Rhine. Neuhof is divided into three principal regions: Neuhof village, the historical ancient part of the district, Stockfeld to the south, an area gained from the nearby forest to relocate some of the population from the "village" to newer locations starting 1910 and the Nouveau Stockfeld built starting 1930s, to the west of old Stockfeld. In the 1960s, highly condensed social housing projects were built for lower income earners and densely populated by immigrant populations, mostly from Turkey and the Maghreb. The badly maintained projects quickly degenerated into unfavourable living conditions, drug and crime-ridden environments. The area was also witness of highly mediatized riots and confrontations with French police. Starting 2001, Neuhof has been witnessing a great renovation project and since 2007, has been served by the extension of tramway service from Strasbourg. To the north of Neuhof is the independent Polygone quarter, with its "Polygone cemetery" and a small airport known as "Aérodrome de Strasbourg-Neuhof".
