Neuhütten is a place and a formerly independent municipality that was merged in 1974 with the neighboring municipalities of Finsterrot , Maienfels and Wüstenrot to form the new unitary municipality of Wüstenrot in the district of Heilbronn in north-eastern Baden-Württemberg . The place, to which the hamlets of Bärenbronn , Kühhof , Lauxenhof and Plapphof as well as the Jägerhaus residential area in Kreuzle (otherwise belonging to Maienfels) still belong, was probably built in the early 16th century near a glassworks and has around 1,600 inhabitants. This makes it, after Wüstenrot itself, the second largest part of the area of Wüstenrot in terms of population.
geography
Neuhütten is located on the northern edge of the Mainhardt Forest on the Stubensandstein plateau of the so-called Burgfriedens , which takes its name from the Maienfels Castle located there and includes the places of the former imperial knighthood of Maienfels. Neuhütten and the hamlets and residential areas belonging to it occupy the south-western part of the keep, while the neighboring Maienfels with its hamlets is in the north-eastern part. In the east, includes Ammertsweiler (municipality Mainhardt , Schwäbisch Hall on), in the southeast Finsterrot, south of belonging to Wüstenrot Weiler Weihenbronn and the west and north the uninhabited valley of the northern Brettach incoming Bern Bach , which the hamlet Unterheimbach the community Bretzfeld in the Hohenlohe district.
The district Neuhüttens with 542 ha of medium height among Wüstenroter part places. The climate is rather cool, the plateau is mostly exposed to the wind unhindered, the parlor sandstone floor is not very suitable for agricultural use. The highest elevation is the 525 m high Steinknickle on the northern edge of the district and approximately in the middle of the west-east extension , on which there is a lookout tower of the Swabian Alb Association . The part of the district that slopes down to the Bernbachtal to the west of the Steinknickles is covered with forest and traversed by small tributaries of the Bernbach. In the south of this part of the district, still on the plateau, lies the Neuhüttener hamlet of Bärenbronn, which is directly connected to the hamlet of Hasenhof belonging to Wüstenrot.
The main town of Neuhütten is in the eastern part of the district. In this area, which is only forested at the edge, small streams arise from clay layers that unite to form the Dachsbach, which flows in a shallow Mulde valley to the Finsterroter See, located on the Finsterroter district, and from there further south to the Rot . The hamlets of Kühhof, Lauxenhof and Plapphof are located here. North of this hamlet, on the western slope of the Dachsbach, was the glassworks from which the town of Neuhütten developed. This somewhat lower-lying district is still called the hut today. An irregular street village developed from this and another, somewhat northwestern, settlement core , which was expanded to include new building areas after the Second World War . From the eastern end of the village, a narrow road leads towards Ammertsweiler.
The Jägerhaus im Kreuzle residential area on the north-eastern border of the district, which has only a few buildings, is directly connected to the hamlet of Kreuzle, which belongs to Maienfels. Here the state road 1090 coming from the direction of Brettachtal, Unterheimbach and Maienfels reaches the district that crosses Neuhütten from north to south. South of the town center, the L 1090 leads past the Neuhüttener Friedhof and the August Strobel settlement that was built after the Second World War (from which another road leads to Bärenbronn) until it finally comes to Weihenbronn on federal road 39, which runs in a west-east direction crosses, which connects the municipality of Wüstenrot with Löwenstein and Heilbronn in the west and Mainhardt and Schwäbisch Hall in the east. South of the B 39, the L 1090 continues to the eponymous capital of Wüstenrot.
history
The origin of the name and the settlement of Neuhütten lies in the increased appearance of glassworks in the Hohenlohe forests from the 16th century. The villages of Hütten and Neuhütte in the Joachimstal are also nearby . Neuhütten, first mentioned in a document in 1541, was originally a street village and was located along a street for a length of about two kilometers. By 1945 the built-up area along the road increased to 22 hectares. Significant cross roads were not built until after 1945, and the village has expanded to 45 hectares thanks to new development areas. In the past, renovation measures were largely dispensed with, which resulted in an outdated and poorly maintained building fabric in the old town. Attractive residential areas can only be found on the outskirts of the town.
The village has a declining infrastructure of small and medium-sized retail, catering and service companies. There are a few public offers and facilities: a primary school, two kindergartens and a community center as well as the Burgfriedenhalle, which holds 2000 visitors .
Neuhütten has been part of the Wüstenrot municipality since January 1st, 1974.
MELAP model project
The aging of the population in the town center, the increased vacancy rate (a study from November 2005 put this at around 10% of the buildings), the poor building fabric and an unattractive living environment as well as the looming loss of quality in the basic services resulted in a negative image for the Place and especially for living in the town center. About 70% of the buildings in the town center needed renovation or, in the worst case, demolition. Neuhütten was an example of a large number of suburbs in the district communities of the Heilbronn district and neighboring regions.
From 2005 to 2009 Neuhütten was one of the eleven selected locations in the model project to curb the use of landscape by activating the local potential (MELAP) of the Ministry of Food and Rural Areas Baden-Württemberg . The model project aimed to dispense with the usual expansive designation of new building areas outside the town center and to create an attractive environment there again through accelerated renovation of the old town.
The municipality committed itself not to build on the 15 hectare new building area Seewiesen and not to realize a planned further building area south of the town center. Instead, the renovation of up to 6 hectares of the old town area was created, but numerous buildings from the first half of the 19th century were also renovated.
The experiences from this model project provide important impulses for village and redevelopment planning in the surrounding districts, in which many places have similar settlement structure problems.
religion
Until the 19th century Neuhütten always belonged to the neighboring imperial knighthood Maienfels and was like this Protestant faith, the parish church was the Maienfelser Burgkirche . Even after Neuhütten became an independent political municipality (before 1824), the assignment to the Maienfels parish was retained. Because the way to the church in Maienfels was too difficult for the elderly and the sick and the small castle church could not accommodate all members of the community, it was decided in 1845 to hold church services in Neuhütten itself, some of which took place in the schoolhouse and some in the dance hall of the Zur Sonne inn .
In 1851, a royal Württemberg decree removed Neuhütten from the ecclesiastical association with Maienfels and ordered that Neuhütten and the neighboring towns of Finsterrot (until then church branch of Wüstenrot) and Ammertsweiler (church branch of Mainhardt ) should form a new parish. The church and parsonage were to be in Finsterrot, between Neuhütten and Ammertsweiler.
Since Ammertsweiler did not want to break away from Mainhardt, only Finsterrot and Neuhütten remained to found the new parish, and a double parish Neuhütten / Finsterrot was established. After long disputes between Finsterrot and Neuhütten about the church, pastor's seat and pastor's apartment, a ministerial decree of November 11, 1856 ordered the parish's seat to be relocated to larger Neuhütten. Finsterrot received a prayer room that was inaugurated in 1857, and the Evangelical Parish Church of Neuhütten , inaugurated in 1863, was built on the southern outskirts of the village in Neuhütten . In 1864 the new rectory next to the church was inaugurated. Today's Protestant church community Neuhütten belongs to the branch Finsterrot the church district Vineyard New City of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Württemberg .

On the property next to the community center, the Anabaptist community has been running the Haus Waldruh retirement home since 1955 .
Methodists have been present in Neuhütten since 1869. In 1874 the Neuhüttener Methodists belonged to the newly founded district of Öhringen, in 1892 a first chapel was built in the village, and in 1894 a separate municipality. On the occasion of a thorough renovation in 1952, the chapel was given the name Kreuzkirche , which was transferred to a successor building that was inaugurated in 1982. Today the Methodist double community Wüstenrot-Neuhütten belongs to the Evangelical Methodist Church .
Catholics came in large numbersto Neuhüttenonly after the Second World War through the influx of expellees . A makeshift church was built for them in the 1950s, the Neuhüttener Barackenkirche . Since 1970 they have owned the St. Barbara Church,built in the August Strobel settlement near the cemetery south of the old town center. From an organizational point of view, the Neuhütten Catholics belonged to the Mainhardt parish from 1967 to 1990 and to the Catholic parish in (Obersulm) -Affaltrach since 1990.

Buildings
- The Protestant church in Neuhütten was built in 1863 at state expense by the Heilbronn master builder Albert Barth . Even today the church belongs to the state of Baden-Württemberg. Originally with 600 seats, it is a stately building in neo-Romanesque style, according to the principles of the Eisenach regulation as a three-aisled hall church with a choir apse and a three-sided gallery, whose pairs of pillars also support the flat ceiling and the roof. There have only been minor changes since then: a dilapidated bell carrier was replaced by a turret in 1973, the sacristy was relocated during the overall renovation in 1988, the pulpit was lowered and the middle choir window was decorated with a glass painting Deluge by the artist Karola Schierle from Wüstenrot-Kreuzle .
- The former hut from around 1600 is reminiscent of the former glass smelting, the Jägerhaus in Kreuzle is the former Gemmingen forester's house from 1761. The parsonage dates from 1863, the schoolhouse from 1872, and there is also the bakery around 1850. In addition to the south of the The Neuhütten war memorial from the 1920s is located in the old town center .
