In 1979 Bad Neustadt founded a community of all towns called Neustadt (new town). Today 34 towns of 5 different countries are members of this project Neustadt in Europe. Bad Neustadt is the only Neustadt with the prefix Bad (spa town).
Bad Neustadt has the following twin towns:
- Falaise, France
- Pershore, Great Britain
- Oberhof, Germany
- Oberpullendorf, Austria
- Bílovec, Czech Republic
There are annual student exchanges with Falaise and Pershore, as well as with Rochester Adams High School in Rochester Hills, USA.

“We live under continual threat of two equally fearful, but seemingly opposed, destinies: unremitting banality and inconceivable terror. It is fantasy, served out in large rations by the popular arts, which allows most people to cope with these twin specters.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“The scenery of mountain towns is commonly too much crowded. A town which is built on a plain of some extent, with an open horizon, and surrounded by hills at a distance, affords the best walks and views.”
