It is located in a basin on the upper reaches of the Mürz in the Mürzsteg Alps , part of the Northern Limestone Alps . In the west rises the Veitschalpe  ( 1981  m above sea level ), in the north the Schneealpe  ( 1903  m above sea level ), in the northeast the Raxalpe  ( 2007  m above sea level ).

The Grünkogel  ( 1812  m above sea level ), the southern ridge of the Schneealpen massif, rises above it . Opposite is the Arzbachhöhe  ( 1012  m above sea level ), a vorlapf of the Hocheck  ( 1418  m above sea level ), which belongs to the Roßeck group , the eastern subgroup of the Veitsch. The place as a whole comprises about 420 buildings with almost 950 inhabitants.

Neuberg is made up of three districts: the village lies elongated on the left bank of the Mürz, south of the Cistercian monastery . It forms the nominal municipality capital . Alpl includes the northern districts on both sides of the Mürz, around Hauptplatz and Kirchsteig. The north-eastern locations on the left of the Mürz, around Neudörflstrasse up, are called Neudörfl . The originally separate places have now grown together completely.

The village of Dorf comprises around 140 buildings and 250 residents. The small Rotte Schlapfen to the north above belongs to the village of Alpl (approx. 230 buildings and 600 inhabitants) . The village of Neudörfl has around 50 buildings and 90 residents. The Alpl-Dorf district of the municipality corresponds to the place as a whole .

The cadastral community of Neuberg extends far beyond the locality, north to the Farfel below the Grünkogel  ( 1418  m above sea level ) on the Schneealm, and south to the Hochegg  ( 1418  m above sea level ) and the Roßkogel  ( 1479  m above sea level ).

History, economy and infrastructure

Original layout of the place, on the right the monastery grounds with the minster (the "cathedral in the village"), in the middle the Kreuzberg (Kalvarienberg) with the old Anna Church, on the left the two churches on the Alpl, the Grünanger church and the former cemetery chapel; View from today's Roseggerstrasse, behind the Schneealm and Raxalm (lith. Around 1830, JF Kaiser, Graz) .

In 1327 Duke Otto the Merry founded a Cistercian abbey, Neuberg Monastery . This formed the core of the settlement in what was then the Cerewald , the Semmering region, and was also the seat of the deanery. Originally, the term village did not include the monastery, but only the secular settlement around it. The first village church was the Anna Chapel on Kreuzberg, built by the abbot around 1420. Starting in 1477, the Church of the Assumption of Mary was built “on the green Anger ” in Alpl for a local brotherhood. It became the new parish church and the core of the upper village.

In 1379, with the Neuberger partition agreement concluded here between the Albertine and Leopoldine lines of the Habsburgs, the division of the possessions was resolved. It was not until 1496 that Emperor Friedrich III. could be ended for his son Maximilian I.

The economy of the place consisted in the Middle Ages and the early modern period mainly in agriculture and forestry, mining on iron and useful stone, and the trade between Mariazell and Semmering area. The road of the upper Mürz Valley is now the B23  Lahnsattelstraße , which comes from Mürzzuschlag and leads through the village, and then continues over the Lahnsattel to the B21 , which connects the Mariazellerland with the Traisental .

In 1786 the monastery was secularized under Josephinism, and the collegiate church, called "Cathedral in the Village", became the parish church. The monastery building became the administrative seat of the forest and mining administration.

In the 19th century, more industrial iron mining began, interrupted by the enormous devastation caused by a storm in 1820. Around 1840 there were three heavy-duty hammers , an artificial hammer , a stretching hammer and a puddling mill , a smelting works in Karlgraben , an iron pounding furnace and a pounding mill in Tyrol . The Mürzzuschlag-Neuberger Bahn was built up to this point in 1876 (discontinued in 1996/2000). In Arzbach the Veitscher Magnesitwerke-A. G. a smaller dismantling until 1930.

After the world wars, however, the iron and steel industry declined, and tourism began to become increasingly important in Vienna's local mountains . Today Neuberg is primarily a tourist destination. The former Cistercian abbey was used for the Styrian State Exhibition in 1996 and was then sold to a private investor and is operated as an event location. The Gasthof Holzer was awarded two toques in 2005. There is also a youth hostel, a soccer field, a tennis court, a skate fun park and a natural swimming pond in the village. There are also three hydropower plants and a heating plant.
