Incorporations

On April 1, 1971, the previously independent communities of Ravolzhausen and Rüdigheim were merged to form the new community of Neuberg. In the two current districts, lying on the common border, there are the field names "Am Neuen Berg" (on the district of Rüdigheim) and "Im Neueberg" (on the district of Ravolzhausen). After these two field names, the place name "Neuberg" was chosen as the future place name from the merger in 1971.

A merger between Neuberg and Erlensee is currently being planned.

Religions

There is a Protestant church in each of the two villages. The community is predominantly Protestant. The Protestant church in Rüdigheim is particularly interesting from a historical point of view, as it is one of the oldest churches in the Main-Kinzig district as a former Johanniterkirche.

badges and flags

coat of arms

Blazon : "Divided by gold and red, above three red roof tiles (1: 2), below a silver Cross of St. John."

The coat of arms of the municipality of Hanau in what was then the district of Hanau was approved by the Hessian Ministry of the Interior on September 8, 1972 . It was designed by the Bad Nauheim heraldist Heinz Ritt .

The roof tiles in the coat of arms come from the coat of arms of the former community of Ravolzhausen and symbolize the brick factory that operated there from 1688 to 1986. The Johanniterkreuz refers to the former Johanniterkommende in Rüdinghausen.

flag

The flag was approved by the Hessian Ministry of the Interior on July 23, 1979 and is described as follows:

"Between red side stripes, each of which surrounds a narrow golden stripe, a wide white central strip, in the upper third covered with the municipal coat of arms."
