Finally, the district of Dorfborn includes the Bilandshöfe located about two kilometers northeast of the town center as hamlets or individual farms .
history
Middle Ages and early modern times
overview
The community of Neuhof can look back on more than a thousand years of history. With today's part of the municipality Neustadt, the first documentary mention of a settlement took place in 956. The community part of Ellers was first mentioned in 1165 as Elderiches .
The name Neuhof ( Latin Nova Curia , mhd. Nuwenhof ) was mentioned for the first time in 1239. It comes from the noble family von Neuhof (lat. De nova curia ) or from the moated castle of the same name of the Fulda prince abbots , which was originally built as a castle. Individual representatives of the Neuhof family were probably Burgmannen . Around 1250 Prince Abbot Heinrich IV von Erthal (1249–1261) had Neuhof Castle fortified with new walls, fences and trenches.
In addition to Neustadt and Ellers, the Opperz settlement was built near the castle (first mentioned in 1326). The moated castle gradually became the center of an administrative district in the old Flieden court. Especially in times when the plague raged in Fulda (for example in 1597 and 1611), the government and chancellery of the Fulda bishopric withdrew to Neuhof Castle.
Historic streets
In the Middle Ages, the districts of today's Neuhof municipality were located at the intersection of the two old streets Via Regia (old Königsstraße or Reichsstraße from Frankfurt am Main to Leipzig , also called Alte Heerstraße ) and Antsanvia (trading street from Mainz to Eisenach , also called Alte Straß ).
A Way of St. James ran along the Via Regia between Fulda and Frankfurt am Main . Signs today with the inscription "Des Reiches Straße" commemorate the course of the Via Regia .
19th century
With the peace treaty between France and the Holy Roman Empire under the Holy Roman Emperor Francis II. Of Luneville 1801 by Napoleon , the secularization in Germany introduced and assigned to the spiritual areas secular princes. Therefore, like many others , the independent abbey of Fulda and the associated areas went to Wilhelm von Nassau-Orange in 1803 . With this, Neuhof also lost its rights and obligations towards Fulda. 1806 joined Orange-Nassau which your Napoleon and France Rheinbund not in, so that Bishopric of Fulda came under the patronage of Napoleon, 1810, the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt made the well Fulda, among other cities and Fürtsbistümern under the Prince Primate Karl Theodor von Dalberg belonged. In the years that followed , the first municipal self-government was also established in the villages in the district, initially headed by the French local mayor , mayor and mayor . In 1816 the Fulda area fell to Kurhessen-Kassel and in 1866 to Prussia . After 1806 there was no longer an emperor . The former prince-bishopric of Fulda came in 1816 as the Grand Duchy of Fulda to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel and in 1868 became the Prussian province of Hessen-Nassau .
20th century
Creation of the Neuhof community
The capital of the municipality of Neuhof was formed from the formerly independent municipalities of Ellers, Neustadt and Opperz by order of the Kassel District President on November 15, 1928.
Territorial reform
On January 1, 1972, Neuhof was merged as part of the regional reform in Hesse with the previously independent communities of Dorfborn, Giesel, Kauppen and Tiefengruben to form the greater community of Neuhof. With effect from August 1, 1972, Hattenhof, houseleek and Rommerz were added by state law.
religion
Catholic Church
The area of the political community Neuhof comprises five Catholic parishes , which in turn are assigned to three deaneries or four pastoral associations in the diocese of Fulda :
| Parish | District (s) / Kirchen / Filialkirchen | Dean's office | Pastoral Association |
|---|---|---|---|
| St. Michael | St. Michael in Neuhof (Opperz), St. Josef in Dorfborn and Maria Immaculate Conception in Tiefengruben | Deanery Neuhof-Großenlüder | Holy Spirit Kalbach-Neuhof |
| Assumption Day | Rommerz | Deanery Neuhof-Großenlüder | Holy Spirit Kalbach-Neuhof |
| St. Bartholomew | St. Bartholomew in houseleek | Deanery Neuhof-Großenlüder | Christ Redeemer Lilac - Houseleek |
| St. Laurence | St. Laurentius in Giesel | Deanery Fulda | St. Anthony of Padua Fulda-West |
| St. Cosmas and Damian | St. Kosmas and Damian in Hattenhof | Decant Rhön | St. Marien Eichenzell |
In the main town of Neuhof there is the Catholic parish of St. Michael, which is part of the dean's office Neuhof-Großenlüder and the pastoral association of the Holy Spirit Kalbach-Neuhof.
It includes the parish church of St. Michael and a parish center in the municipality of Opperz. In 1963 the St. Barbara branch church was built in the Ellers part of the community, which was abandoned and profaned on October 28, 2015 after 52 years . The decision of the parish was influenced by the financial situation and the decline in church attendance. In addition, there had been no functioning heating for years, the roof was leaking and the gallery is now in danger of collapsing. The structural defects of the church urged the parish to take this step.
The parish churches of St. Josef der Arbeiter in Dorfborn and the Chapel of St. Maria Immaculate Conception in Tiefengruben also belong to the parish of St. Michael . The parish has around 4,400 Catholics. That corresponds to about 77 percent of the population.
The Catholic parish of the Assumption of Mary in Rommerz, which has been pastoral care and co-administered by the parish of St. Michael in the main town of Neuhof, has been part of the same deanery and pastoral network.
The dean's office Neuhof-Großenlüder also includes the Catholic parish of St. Bartholomew in Houseleek. It has been pastoral care and co-administered by the parish of St. Michael in Neuhof since 2017.
There is also the Catholic parish of St. Laurentius in Giesel , which belongs to the Neuhof parish and is assigned to the dean's office in Fulda and the pastoral association of St. Antonius of Padua Fulda-West , and which has been pastoral care and co-administered by the parish of St. Markus in Fulda-Haimbach since 2012 , as well as the parish of St. Cosmas and Damian in Hattenhof , which is part of the dean's office in Rhön and the pastoral association of St. Marien Eichenzell .
The former Giesel branch of the Birth of Mary in Fulda-Istergiesel was assigned to the Fulda Dean's Office and Johannesberg Pastoral Association in 2006. Pastoral care and co-administration has since been ensured by the parish of St. John the Baptist in Fulda-Johannesberg .
Protestant church
In Neuhof is a Lutheran church with a church , and a youth center in the municipal part Eller, a community center in Rommerz and a Filialkirche in the neighboring community Flieden .

Former Jewish community
Until 1938 there was a Jewish community in Neuhof with a synagogue (inaugurated in 1876) in today's Marktstrasse (then Frankfurter Strasse) in the Neustadt part of the community. There is evidence that they were created back to 1563. The Jewish citizens living in Neuhof belonged to the community.
During the Reichspogromnacht from November 9th to 10th, 1938, the synagogue was desecrated and the interior was destroyed. The building was not set on fire. At that time 48 Jews lived in Neuhof. In the course of 1942 the remaining Jewish citizens from Neuhof were deported .
In the last years of the war, the former and vacant synagogue was illegally converted into apartments. The synagogue building was preserved after 1945, until 1956 in its L-shape. Afterwards, it was bought by private individuals, who changed the exterior of it considerably through additions and renovations, making it unrecognizable as a former synagogue. As a result of the extensions and renovations, there is a long, privately owned residential and commercial building at this point.
Despite the renovations, around 80 percent of the structure of the former synagogue building has been preserved. The former ritual bath (mikveh) was located during renovation work in 2008 on the basis of a construction drawing by the Fulda building inspector Friedrich Hoffmann and partially exposed again. There is no notice or memorial plaque.
The Jewish cemetery, laid out in 1905 in the Flieden district above the state road between Neuhof and Flieden (former federal road 40 ), has been preserved to this day.

Blazon : “Divided by gold and black; at the top three interlocking black rings and a black hammer and a black mallet crossed at an angle; below a continuous golden cross. "
In the Hessisches Ortswappenbuch the local coat of arms, awarded in 1953, is shown, but it was replaced in 1963 with the permission of the Interior Minister by the above with a different arrangement of the shield contents. The three intertwined rings are reminiscent of the formation of the Neuhof community in 1928 by amalgamating the previously independent communities of Ellers, Opperz and Neustadt with the Neuhof forest estate district . The mining equipment symbolizes the local potash industry. The cross in the lower half of the shield is the Fulda , albeit in a different tinging . |

Economy and Infrastructure
Function as a sub-center
As a sub-center , the municipality of Neuhof has a central function for the south-western part of the Fulda district with a catchment area of around 25,000 inhabitants. Here you can find u. a. ten doctors, two veterinarians, two pharmacies, a senior care and care center, nine church buildings, a post office, a train station, several grocery stores, banks, five schools, a branch of the adult education center in the Fulda district, six kindergartens, a community center, seven town houses, three Community libraries, a police station, a road maintenance department, four district foresters (operating districts of the Fulda Forestry Office) and several inns.
The spatial proximity to the regional center of Fulda, among other factors, also meant that Neuhof lost some companies and public institutions in the past few decades. In the past, larger companies were the Fricke brothers' Rhöngold dairy, the Josef Ruppel meat factory and the Reschop timber trade. There used to be two forest offices in Neuhof, a branch of the Fulda District Court, an indoor swimming pool ("Allwetterbad"), a post office and a branch of the Sisters of Mercy with a home for the elderly. In addition, the independence of Raiffeisenbank Neuhof eG was lost.

Regional forum Fulda southwest
To promote regional development, Neuhof joined forces in May 1998 with the municipalities of Bad Salzschlirf , Eichenzell , Flieden , Großenlüder , Hosenfeld and Kalbach to form the Fulda Southwest Regional Forum and formed a municipal working group. Since the association was transformed into an association in 2006, the district craftsmen, the district farmers' association and the working group of nature conservation associations have joined. In 2007 the regional forum was recognized by the state of Hesse as a funding region of the European Union according to the so-called LEADER community initiative for the development of the rural economy and received 1.6 million euros in funding for various measures in the funding period 2008 to 2013.
The seven municipalities are currently trying to be accepted into the EU program for 2014 to 2020 - and thus for two million euros in funding. Among other things, these should serve to combat vacant shops, promote tourism, quality of life, regional culture, biodiversity in nature and start-ups.
Since 2008 the regional forum has belonged to the Association of Hessian Regional Forums (HRF) e. V.
The cooperation of the seven municipalities leads to savings or additional income in the following areas:
- a joint youth worker
- Development of cycle tourism and tourism
- Museum association
- Website maintenance
- Study of biomass use
- Culture week and cultural events
- Regions Day every autumn
- cheaper driving license training for firefighters
- Introduction of cost and performance accounting ( double )
- Retrieval of EU funds through the regional forum as a regional development group
Mining
Neuhof is the only mining community in the Fulda district . In the Neuhof-Ellers potash mine , around 750 employees mine potash salt and process it into fertilizers . With an annual crude salt production of almost four million tons, Neuhof-Ellers produces around 1.3 million tons of sales products. This makes the plant the largest industrial company in the southern part of the district. Today it belongs to Kassel K + S AG (formerly Kali und Salz AG or Wintershall AG ). The spoil dump , also popularly known as “ Monte Kali ”, is visible from afar and is thus a defining part of the landscape and landmark. It comes into view on Autobahn 66 from Distelrasen from junction 49 Schlüchtern-Nord in the direction of Fulda, and also on the ICE route Fulda-Würzburg at the northern Fliedetalbrücke . With a height of 200 meters up to 500 m above sea level. Rising above sea level , it consists of around 125 million tons of material - predominantly rock salt , anhydrite , clay , other minerals and water. This makes it one of the largest landfills in Europe. Every year around 2.4 million tons are refilled. The total area of the heap is currently around 90 hectares. The potash plant is connected to the regional road network via the Neuhof-Süd junction (51) of the 66 Autobahn (and the Westspange, which was completed in 2015).
History of the potash plant:
In June 1905 the Neuhof potash drilling company (from December 1905 the Neuhof union ) was founded, which by June 1909 had sunk the first 557 meter deep shaft. In November 1906, all of the above-ground operational buildings had already been completed. The two trade unions Neuhof and Ellers had existed since January 1910 and formed a single business unit. In March 1912 the sinking of the 552 meter deep Ellers shaft began, but could not be completed until 1920 due to the First World War .
At the end of June 1926 the mine was shut down due to the legally stipulated production quotas in the German Potash Certificate, but kept operational as a reserve by Wintershall AG. With retroactive effect from February 1, 1935, Wintershall AG put the Reich Treasury army trunks and Ellers Neuhof and from 1 April 1937 most of the plant and the mine openings available. The mine was converted into a secondary ammunition facility for the German Wehrmacht , which was completed in September 1939. Ammunition and other Wehrmacht goods were stored in both shafts on an area of 40,000 square meters. In June 1944, 14,000 tons of powder and explosives were still being stored in the Muna . At this point in time, efforts were already being made to use the shafts for the underground relocation of an armaments factory.
By order of the armaments staff on September 23, 1944 the OKH had to cede the Ellers shaft to the Adlerwerke from Frankfurt am Main for the manufacture of tank gearboxes. The construction project with the code name "Jackal" was under the direction of the Todt Organization . Italian military internees and so-called " half-Jews " had to work as slave labor when the tunnel system was expanded . Due to an air raid on Neuhof station and the advance of American troops, expansion came to a standstill at the end of March 1945.
Due to the military use, the mine shafts should first be flooded after 1945. From 1946 onwards, the stored ammunition stocks were cleared from the STEG . In 1952, it was returned to Wintershall AG, which decided to reopen the Neuhof mine due to the loss of its potash mines located in the GDR . After the war damage had been repaired, the rebuilding of the processing plant in Neuhof began in 1953. In October 1954 the mine resumed operations.
traffic

Trunk roads
- Autobahn 66 : Wiesbaden - Frankfurt am Main - Hanau - Neuhof - Dreieck Fulda (connection to Autobahn 7 )
- Between the two junctions Neuhof-Süd (51) and Neuhof-Nord (52), the 1.6-kilometer-long, twin-tube Neuhof tunnel runs through Neuhof (parallel to the railway line between the districts of Neustadt and Opperz). This is a so-called enclosure that was not dug by mining, but built in an open construction method in an aisle and then completely covered with earth. The tunnel was released on September 13, 2014 after a construction period of almost nine years.
- former federal highway 40 : Saarbrücken - Neuhof - Fulda
- Until the gap in Autobahn 66 was closed , traffic was routed over the remaining section of the former Bundesstraße 40 between Neuhof-Süd (51) and Neuhof-Nord (52). This section of the route was dismantled and renatured by 2017. According to plans by the Neuhof municipal council, a commuter parking lot with a good 100 parking spaces is to be built on the former B 40 near the Neuhof-Nord motorway junction. Access will therefore be via the first exit at the Dorfborn roundabout from Neuhof, which is currently still closed to non-agricultural traffic. The area earmarked for the parking lot should be available by the end of 2018 at the earliest.
- On the route between the former B-40 junctions Neuhof-Nord and Fulda-Süd, which leads on an artificial dam through the flooded area of the Fliede, according to other considerations of the Neuhof municipal council, a cycle and footpath (including the Hessische Long-distance cycle path R3 ).
railroad
- The Neuhof station (Kr Fulda) in the Opperz district of the Frankfurt-Bebraer Eisenbahn has existed since 1868. The Fulda – Neuhof section was put into operation on July 1, 1868 and the Neuhof– Steinau an der Strasse section finally opened on December 15, 1868 . Today the Neuhof station (Kr Fulda) is served every hour by regional express trains (RE) to Fulda and Frankfurt am Main . There is also a connecting railway to the Neuhof-Ellers potash mine.
- In connection with the construction of the motorway, Deutsche Bahn AG expanded its route in the Neuhof area and straightened the former S-shaped arch so that ICE trains can travel through Neuhof at 160 km / h . Since the completion of the route relocation in 2011, the station building has stood between the tracks. The track for the regional trains to Frankfurt am Main is on the old route on the left side of the station building - seen from the south - while ICE and regional trains to Fulda use the new route on the right side of the station building.
- Since November 20, 2015, pedestrians from Neuhof's town center have been able to get to the train station via an underpass - without the previous ten-minute detour over the Zollweg Bridge.
- The high-speed line Hanover-Würzburg crosses the Neuhof municipality.
- The southern Fliedetalbrücke spans the Hessian Kinzig Valley Railway and the A 66 . The building is located northwest of the Hattenhof district . The route runs straight on the bridges.
- The northern Fliedetalbrücke , which crosses the K 100 and the Fliede , passes over to the municipality of Eichenzell at Nüchtershof . Between the two bridges there is a small elevation in the middle of the Fliedetal.
- An earth dump with excavated material from the Sulzhof tunnel was created between the northern and southern Fliedetal Bridge . This is now overgrown by nature with the fauna and flora of the lilac valley .
Bus routes / public transport
Neuhof offers several stops and transfer options of the local local transport company Fulda (LNG Fulda) mbH to neighboring towns (lines 50 to 54) within the framework of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund GmbH (RMV) and local public transport ( ÖPNV ).
