Community structure

The community of Neuhausen consists of the former communities of Hamberg, Neuhausen, Schellbronn and Steinegg.

The village of Neuhausen and the places "Monbachtal, Jugenderholungsheim" belong to the former municipality of Neuhausen within the boundaries of 1972, partly to Bad Liebenzell in the district of Calw , "Monbachtal, Kurhotel" also partly to Bad Liebenzell, Neuhausen railway station and St. Wendel (formerly . Wehrmacht barracks). The Taulbronnen Hunting Lodge, first mentioned in 1568 and dismissed, is located in the area of the former municipality of Hamberg.

climate

In most descriptions of the bidding villages one finds the phrase that it is a landscape with a harsh climate. The plateau location may play a certain role, whereby the respective location of the village is also important. Those who live by the blower will have it rougher than those whose village is in the hollow.

The mean annual temperature is around 10 ° C – 10.5 ° C. In the 1930s, an annual mean temperature of 7.5 ° C was reached.

history

Early history

The so-called bidding villages, to which Neuhausen and its districts also belong, were probably founded between 800 and 1000 as Waldhufendörfer . The first documentary mention came later: 1073 Schellbronn, 1150 Neuhausen and 1157 Steinegg. Hamberg was first mentioned in a document in 1453, but it is very likely that Hamberg was created in the 11th century at the instigation of a Stain von Rechtenstein . From 1407 they were under Diether V. von Gemmingen , who founded the Hagenschieß line (also called Gemmingen-Steinegg ) of the barons of Gemmingen with the property acquired there .

Religions

Since the Hagenschieß line of the Barons of Gemmingen - in contrast to the other family lines - remained Catholic after the Reformation , the bid to which Neuhausen belongs formed a Catholic enclave in Protestant surroundings.

Baden time

Through the media coverage the villages fell at today's district Neuhausen in 1806 to the Grand Duchy of Baden and were since 1819 part of the Oberamts Pforzheim, Pforzheim since 1864 the district office and since June 25, 1939 the district Pforzheim .

Second World War

Towards the end of the Second World War , from April 15-19, 1945, the villages of the municipality were attacked several times by the Royal Air Force . 20 people died, both civilians (6 from Neuhausen and 4 refugees) and soldiers (6 German and 4 French-Moroccan). Another villager died weeks later from his injuries. In memory of the victims and the destruction there has been a sculpture with a memorial plaque on the parking lot in front of the town hall since April 5, 2014.

post war period

In 1945 the localities became part of the American zone of occupation and thus belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden , which became part of the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. In 1973 the district reform in Baden-Württemberg took place , when the communities came to the Enzkreis.

Spatial development of the municipality

On March 1, 1973, the communities Hamberg, Neuhausen and Steinegg were merged to form the community of Neuhausen. On January 1, 1975, today's community of Neuhausen was re-formed through the merger of the previous community with the community of Schellbronn.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of Neuhausen

In silver, on a shield base divided by blue and gold, a red house with two chimneys, two red flags fluttering from the gables to the left, six (3: 3) red windows, a closed gate on the front and a red window on the left gable. (The former municipality of Neuhausen had had a coat of arms since 1902, which contained a red house in silver on green ground. This coat of arms was already in seals in the 19th century.)

The coat of arms of Hamberg

In a shield divided four times by blue and gold, a fallen silver ploughshare. (The assumption that the ploughshare could be a shepherd's shovel was not confirmed by the General State Archives in Karlsruhe.)

The coat of arms of Schellbronn

A red fountain in gold, from whose three tubes silver water flows.

The coat of arms of Steinegg

In a split shield in front three black wolf fishing rods in gold, behind in blue two gold bars. (Wolf fishing rod used to be a device for catching wolves and foxes.)
