German Coast
The German Coast (French: "Côte des Allemands", German: "Deutsche Küste") was a region of early Louisiana settlement located above New Orleans, and on the west bank of the Mississippi River. Specifically, from east (or south) to west (or north), in St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, and St. James parishes of present-day Acadiana. It was largely settled by German immigrants. The four slave-holding plantations that they developed along this "coast" were Karlstein, Hoffen, Mariental, and Augsburg.

The Whitney Plantation opened for tours in 2014 in the German Coast. It is a slavery museum that is open to the public.
