history

Niunsbrunnen was first mentioned in a document in 857. In 1231 the Neubrunn church was built. The church is in the middle of the village and the defensive character can still be seen. In the west is the high churchyard wall and on the western north side there is a gate and on the north side there is still a gate. The cellars are reminiscent of castle cellars. It is believed that this site used to be a castle district. Over the years, Neubrunn developed into a clustered village .

The place originally belonged to the Zent Themar of the county of Henneberg . In the Henneberg main division in 1274, the two places Jüchsen and Neubrunn came from the Zent Themar to the Henneberg-Schleusingen line and were assigned to the Bailiwick of Henneberg, from which the Amt Maßfeld later formed. In 1680 the place became part of the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen . Between 1366 and 1496 the lords of Bibra had possessions in the place.

Neubrunn was persecuted by witches from 1602 to 1680: 18 women and two men got into witch trials , 14 were burned and four beheaded. The last victim was Magdalena, Sigmund Henneberger's wife.

In 1639, the plague depopulated Neubrunn. In 1829 Neubrunn came into the possession of the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen and with this later to the Free State of Thuringia.

The community celebrated its 1150th anniversary in 2007.
