In German, a Vorstadt (, literally "fore city") is an area of a city that is outside the Altstadt (city center) but tightly connected to it and densely populated, thus distinguishing itself from a Vorort (suburb).
Historically, a Vorstadt ("suburb" in German) was a settlement outside the city walls, sometimes dedicated to specific trades. Later, large Vorstädte appeared in the Gründerzeit era. Places named Vorstadt include Vorstadt (Königsberg), the Oranienburger Vorstadt in Berlin or the Nordvorstadt (lit. Northern Vorstadt) and the Inner West Vorstadt in Leipzig and other cities in Germany.
