history

The Gut zum Nawenhofe ("zum Neuen Hof") was first mentioned in a document in 1519 as a knight's seat and formed the origin of the later town, whose development did not begin until the 19th century. On the Saxon miles sheets produced between 1780 and 1806, only one farm north of Jiedlitz is recorded (under the name “das Vorwerk”) and a “Schaeferey”. At that time, both belonged to the Vorwerk of the Kleinhähnchen estate and were expanded by this into a settlement. By the end of the century Neuhof had already reached its current size.

Since the founding of the Saxon rural communities in the 1830s, Neuhof has belonged to the community of Kleinhänchen. Together with Kleinhchenchen, Neuhof was incorporated into Burkau during the municipal reform in 1994 and came from the Kamenz district to the Bautzen district.
