The German Coast was a region of early Louisiana settlement located above New Orleans, and on the east side of the Mississippi River. Specifically, from east to west , 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.
