history
Neumarkt was probably built around 1100. The reason for this is the Neumarkter Berg, which represented an obstacle for the salt and trade wagons between Bohemia and the Upper Austrian Salzkammergut . Horses had to be provided as a leader to pull up the wagons. Once at the top, the horses and coachmen had to freak out. In 1171 Neumarkt was first mentioned in a document as "novum forum" (Latin for new market ). Duke Heinrich of Austria promised in a document to protect the area around Neumarkt im Mühlkreis from enemies.
Rest areas and stables were built where previously there was only forest. Over the next few centuries the number of houses grew to 30, some of which were built along the trade route and some around the church . Since up to 100 salt carts required a break and a break on different days, there were soon many restaurants, bowling alleys and shooting ranges.
Since 1490 it has been assigned to the principality ' Austria ob der Enns '. In 1500, Emperor Maximilian made the town a market. Neumarkt got free market and trade.
In 1609 a big market fire shook the place: 22 wooden houses with wooden shingles, as well as numerous documents were destroyed in the flames.
During the Napoleonic Wars , the place was occupied several times. Since 1918 the place belongs to the federal state of Upper Austria . After Austria was annexed to the German Reich on March 13, 1938, the place belonged to the "Gau Oberdonau". After 1945 Neumarkt was in the Soviet occupation zone and after 1955 the infrastructure was built up and rebuilt. In 2003, the Neumarkt tunnel was opened and through-traffic was banned from the town center.
