history

Neu-Berich is a relatively young place with a unique and hardly comparable past. When the Edertalsperre was built between 1908 and 1914 about 22 km (as the crow flies ) further south , it was certain that the village of Berich, located in the Eder valley, would sink into the newly emerging Edersee. From 1908 onwards, the residents looked for new homes.

A total of 150 families with 900 people in the Waldeck villages of Bringhausen and Berich and in Asel in Prussia had to give up their homesteads and were relocated. Most of them found their place above the future Edersee. For the others, the princely agricultural administration had suggested moving to the princely domain of Büllinghausen near Arolsen. Karl Meyer, architect and structural engineer at the Weserstrombauverwaltung in Hanover, designed the Neu-Berich estate, in which eight farming families from Berich and nine from Bringhausen were settled. In addition, five craftsmen, an innkeeper, a day laborer, the community servant (police servant, shepherd and gravedigger) and a teacher from the Eder valley were added. In 1910 the structural preparations for Neu-Berich began, in 1911 the new village was built mostly on its own and in the Franconian style. It was inaugurated on July 13, 1912.

The Bericher took the church from the 13th century (formerly part of the monastery reporting ) a piece of their old home with to New reporting by the building translocated was. At the inauguration of the village, the foundation stone was laid for the church, which - shortened by two yokes - was rebuilt in Neu-Berich. The doors and windows, the stones around the window and portal, the floor, the organ and the altar were brought from Berich on horse or ox wagons. Including medieval panes, the artistic glazing in the three central choir windows was created in 1914 by the glass painting workshop KJ Schultz-Söhne in Marburg. A tablet that reports on a renovation in the former Protestant church in Berich has also been transferred to the new church.

On December 31, 1971, Neu-Berich was incorporated into the city of Arolsen.

With the Twistesee reservoir, inaugurated in 1977, an attractive recreational area was created near the village.
