Lonely Planet review

Many of Strasbourg's most impressive (and German-built) public buildings are just northeast of the Grande Île around place de la République . The neighbourhood that stretches from there eastwards to Parc de l'Orangerie is dominated by solid, stone buildings inspired by late-19th-century Prussian tastes.

Most are some sort of 'neo' - romantic, Gothic or Renaissance - and you can see that some had the initials RF (République Française) hastily added after 1918 to replace the original German insignia.
