The name of the pastor 'Ernestus zu Niwnkirchen des Sand Merteins' is mentioned in a document from the year 1237 of the St. Johann monastery in Regensburg .
history
The place name derives from the church patron Martin , for whom a new church was built. It is believed that the old Martinskirche was in Mattenzell .
A historic military trail once passed Martinsneukirchen , which connected the villages of Roding and Wörth a. D. had connected. In 1326 the place Niwnkirchen Martini was named as a parish of the diocese of Regensburg. At that time the place had 10 houses and 87 inhabitants. A large part of the village was destroyed in 1429 by the Hussites under the leadership of the German noble Burgrave of Prachatitz. In 1434 the parish had a pastor, two assistant priests and an early knife . At that time, the parish included 66 villages with 550 inhabitants, among which were: Unterzell, Marienstein , Gfung , Mühltal, Starzenbach and Schergendorf. Martinsneukirchen had 13 houses and 90 residents. In 1504 the place was again haunted by troops moving through, who robbed and plundered the area after the battle of Wenzenbach . In 1633 the village was burned down by the Swedes under Colonel Taupadel . In 1644 the place had 15 houses and 94 inhabitants. During this time the parish of Martinsneukirchen with the parishes of Arrach and Zell was assigned to the Frauenzell Benedictine monastery .
The church was destroyed by fire in 1721 and rebuilt by 1729. The church was consecrated on August 18, 1729 by Auxiliary Bishop Langwart von Simmern from Regensburg. Martinsneukirchen was sacked in 1743 by the Austrians under the leadership of Prince Lobkowitz. The farmers tried to defend themselves with rifles that they had previously fetched from the French stationed in Wörth . In 1785 the sacristan's house from 1430 was demolished and a teacher's house was built instead. In 1803 the church of Martinsneukirchen became a branch church of Oberzell . In 1895 Martinsneukirchen had 91 inhabitants, 9 properties and 15 houses. On July 12, 1901, the foundation stone was laid for the new school building. The first named teacher Wolfgang Eschlweck (or Deschelweck) at the Martinsneukirchen school dates back to 1660. In 1943 the place was connected to the electrical network.
At the end of the Second World War in April 1945, the deportation of the concentration camp prisoners from the Flossenbürg concentration camp to the Dachau concentration camp began . A death march led around 750 prisoners through the village. Those who could no longer walk or wanted to flee were shot by the guards. The completely exhausted people were driven by SS men with dogs and weapons. Four prisoners unable to walk were shot at Roidhof.
Martinsneukirchen was an independent municipality that was attached to the municipality of Zell in 1948. The last mayor was Gottfried Niebauer.
In 1965 a new school house and a teacher's residence were built. The old school house was used by a company as an industrial enterprise. In 1968 a school association was founded, consisting of schools in the localities of Oberzell, Martinsneukirchen, Beucherling and Trasching. The school management from Martinsneukirchen was thus relocated to Oberzell. In 1987 the Zell school association was dissolved, school operations in Martinsneukirchen were discontinued and the former schoolhouse was converted into a community center with a clubhouse from 1992 to 1995. In 1997 the St. Martin kindergarten was integrated into this building.
