Neuchâtel

Neuchâtel (French pronunciation: [nøʃatɛl]), Old French: neu(f) "new" + chatel "castle" (French: château); German: Neuenburg; Italian: Neocastello or Nuovocastello; Romansh: Neuchâtel or Neufchâtel) is the capital of the Swiss canton of Neuchâtel on Lake Neuchâtel.

The city has as of December 2013 approximately 33,600 inhabitants (80,000 in the metropolitan area). The city is sometimes referred to historically by the German name  Neuenburg , which has the same meaning, since it originally belonged to the Holy Roman Empire and later Prussia, which ruled the area until 1848.

The official language of Neuchâtel is French.

Neuchâtel is a pilot of the Council of Europe and the European Commission Intercultural cities programme.

History

Prehistory

The oldest traces of humans in the municipal area are the remains of a Magdalenian hunting camp, which was dated to 13,000 BC. It was discovered in 1990 during construction of the A5 motorway at Monruz (La Coudre). The site was about 5 m (16 ft) below the main road. Around the fire pits carved flints and bones were found. In addition to the flint and bone artifacts three tiny earrings from lignite were found. The earrings may have served as symbols of fertility and represent the oldest known art in Switzerland. This first camp was used by Cro-Magnons to hunt horse and reindeer in the area. Azilian hunters had a camp at the same site at about 11,000 BC. Since the climate had changed, their prey was now deer and wild boar.

    Noche Ideal

    by: Té De Tila

    En esta noche siluetas recorren mi piel
    Y se transforman en ritmo
    Tengo la sangre hirviendo y quiero reventar
    Hasta que muera la noche
    Quiero bailar no parar de sudar
    Escuchando los gritos de la ciudad
    Quiero buscar un lugar especial
    Donde encuentre a ese chico que quiero besar
    Yo sólo quiero ser la estrella de esta fiesta
    Y que me mires de los pies a la cabeza
    Estoy dispuesta a que me tome la locura
    Mueve tu cuerpo, que reaccione tu cintura
    Siente la euforia de mi respirar
    Contágiate del sonido
    Deja salir este instinto animal
    Y déjate fluir conmigo
    Quiero bailar no parar de sudar
    Escuchando los gritos de la ciudad
    Quiero buscar un lugar especial
    Donde encuentre a ese chico que quiero besar
    Yo sólo quiero ser la estrella de esta fiesta
    Y que me mires de los pies a la cabeza
    Estoy dispuesta a que me tome la locura
    Mueve tu cuerpo, que reaccione tu cintura
    Estoy flotando en el mar de fuego
    Siguiendo el juego de la seducción
    Estoy temblando y me está gustando
    Estado disfrutando esta noche ideal
    Ya no me importa nada, ni la hora de llegada
    Ni el sermón de la mañana, vamos a continuar
    El sol esta saliendo, el lugar esta repleto
    El Dj esta bebiendo y nadie quiere irse
    Sólo tienen ganas de bailar
    De bailar,
    De bailar,
    Sólo tienen ganas de bailar
    Ya no me importa nada, ni la hora de llegada
    Ni la hora de llegada
    El sol esta saliendo, el lugar esta repleto
    El Dj esta bebiendo
    Ah, ah
    Ah, ah
    Ah, ah
    Ah, ah
    Ah, ah
