history
Until the 19th century
The Lords of Neuenstein , who founded their Neufels Castle and the surrounding community, were first named as contract witnesses in 1230. 1351 awarded Kraft III. of Hohenlohe-Weikersheim with the approval of King Karl IV. Neuenstein the city rights . He made the young city defensive by building city walls and moats and encouraged the local economy by setting up a weekly market. Neuenstein belonged to the Hohenlohe-Weikersheim line of Hohenlohe until 1553. When Hohenlohe split up in 1553, Neuenstein became the seat of the Hohenlohe-Neuenstein line under Count Ludwig Casimir . With the death of Count Wolfgang Julius in 1698, Hohenlohe-Neuenstein fell to Hohenlohe-Öhringen, and from then on the residence of the counts was Öhringen. Thus, Neuenstein was a royal seat from 1553 to 1698. In addition, the Hohenlohe area was part of the Franconian Empire between 1500 and 1806 . From 1698 to 1806 the city remained under the rule of the Hohenlohe-Öhringen line, which was elevated to the rank of prince in 1764.
Neuenstein came from the Principality of Hohenlohe-Öhringen to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806 and became the seat of its own higher office . In 1809, when the final administrative structure was implemented , Neuenstein was subordinated to the Oberamt Öhringen . In the course of the administrative reform during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Neuenstein came to the district of Öhringen in 1938 . Since the city had become part of the American zone of occupation after the Second World War , it had belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden since 1945 , which was merged into the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. In 1973 the district reform took place in Baden-Württemberg , when Neuenstein became part of the Hohenlohe district .

Religions
Count Ludwig Casimir introduced the Reformation in Neuenstein around 1553 .
Catholic parish
Until 1950 the parish belonged to the Pfedelbach parish . Also due to the rapidly growing number of Catholics (1927: 51 Catholics, 1953: 962 Catholics) in the post-war period, Neuenstein was separated from Pfedelbach together with the community of Öhringen, which also belonged to Pfedelbach , and a so-called vicarage office was set up in Neuenstein. Thus Neuenstein belonged to the parish of St. Joseph Öhringen.
The barrack emergency church on the Franzosenfriedhof on Kirchensaller Strasse, consecrated in 1950, was much too small, so that a new church had to be built. This was on 2/3. Consecrated November 1957 by the Rottenburg auxiliary bishop Wilhelm Sedlmeier . Neuenstein was raised to the status of an independent Catholic parish and parish of Christ King by the Bishop of Rottenburg Georg Moser on January 1, 1981. On October 19, 2000, the parishes of Neuenstein and Öhringen signed a cooperation agreement for a pastoral care unit in which both parishes continue to be independent. The parish of Neuenstein is part of the Hohenlohe deanery in the Rottenburg-Stuttgart diocese .
