Evangelical church, former simultaneous church
Catholic parish church Maria Hilf

The oldest surviving documented mention as Nuwenhagen dates from 1191 and assures the Retters monastery there that it owns four vineyards.

Originally, Neuenhain was an imperial village . The further development of sovereign rights resulted from the possession of the Vogtei over the Sulzbacher Mark . The lords of Falkenstein , von Eppstein , von Sulzbach and von Königstein took turns . 1581 Neuenhain went to the Palatinate , 1650 in Bergsträßer recess at Kurmainz and 1803 Nassau-Usingen and belonged to the time of the Duchy of Nassau for office Koenigstein .

During the Reformation , Lutheran worship was introduced around 1535 . With the rule of the Electorate of the Palatinate, the Calvinist creed came to Neuenhain in 1581 . After it was taken over by Kurmainz in 1650, the Protestant faith was retained. Catholic worship was introduced on an equal footing.

1762–71 the new parish church was built as a simultaneous church.

The oval town center was surrounded by a moat (moat and wall with hornbeam hedge ) until the 19th century . It can still be seen well in the floor plan in the streets east of Königsteiner Strasse. The hedge and ditch were removed after 1802 and in 1823 a connection between the town and the Königsteiner Chaussee, completed in 1819, was created.

On January 1, 1977, Neuenhain was incorporated into the town of Bad Soden am Taunus as part of the regional reform in Hesse . Since then, independence from the city as a whole has been limited to its own local court and arbitration office .

Natural monuments

The three linden trees

There are three linden trees on a hill on Drei-Linden-Straße . They are the symbol of Neuenhain and are shown in the coat of arms of the former community of Neuenhain. In the past they were visible from afar as a lookout point. The two oldest of the three linden trees date from around 1640. The west linden tree was replanted in 1962 as a replacement for the predecessor tree that was over a hundred years old and damaged during civil engineering work.

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1844/45), Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1844) and Pjotr ​​Iljitsch Tschaikowski (1870) visited the three linden trees, among others .
