Neukirchen is a district of the Upper Franconian community Lautertal in the Coburg district .
geography
The street village is about 10 kilometers north of Coburg in a valley through which the Lauter flows. To the west are the Long Mountains , to the east is the Taimbacher Forst ridge , where the district boundary forms the state border with Thuringia . The place is crossed by the district road CO 27, the former federal road 4 , from which a road branches off to Emstadt in the place .
history
The first documentary mention comes from the year 1315, when the Counts of Henneberg gave Neukirchen Castle to the Lords of Haldeck as a fief. Above the church, on the western side of the Lautertal, there was probably the abandoned castle, which belonged to the Reichshof and whose demise is not known , to secure the route from Coburg to Eisfeld . A Fronhof belonged to the castle , which later split into two, then three farms. In the fiefdom of 1317 the place "Nuwenkirchen" was written.
At the beginning of the 14th century Neukirchen was under the rule of the Henneberger . In 1353 the place with the Coburg Land came by inheritance to the Wettins and was thus part of the Electorate of Saxony from 1485 , from which the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg later emerged. In 1516 the Neukirchen feudal people were under the rule of Coburg. Around 1618 there were three estates and seven Sölden in Neukirchen . In 1508 there were four and in 1618 eight able-bodied men lived in Neukirchen. There were 18 horses and 80 cattle. After the Thirty Years War there were four men fit for military service in 1650 and there were still six inhabited houses.
A mill has been in use since 1701. Their operations were stopped in 1950. The Waldhaus was built from 1909 to 1911 by a Sonneberg entrepreneur as a guesthouse. The property was later used as a doll factory. In 1931 it was taken over by the Coburg local health insurance fund and in 1936 by the state insurance company for Upper and Middle Franconia. Both operated it as a rest home. After 1945 it was used as a home for the elderly and asylum seekers.
In a referendum on 30 November 1919 no Neukirchener citizens to join the true State of Coburg the Thuringian State and 87 against it. From July 1, 1920, Neukirchen also belonged to the Free State of Bavaria .
From 1945 to 1989 the municipal boundary in the east corresponded to the inner German border .
Neukirchen teachers are documented after 1819. From 1820 the children from Tiefenlauter also attended the school in Neukirchen. In 1851 a new school house was inaugurated. In 1965 the three-class Neukirchen- Tiefenlauter school was relocated to the newly built school building of the communities Unterlauter and Oberlauter .
In 1946, two human skeletons and 242 silver coins were found in Neukirchen during earthworks for an access road to the cemetery. 75% of the find consisted of half lumps, which were minted in the 16th century as an intermediate step to the pfennig , especially on the Upper Rhine and were worth eight guilders .
In 1963, the community joined the association for the water supply of the Lautergrund communities. The ring water supply was inaugurated in 1965. On May 4, 1969 in Neukirchen, out of 216 eligible voters, 105 voted for and 19 against the merger with Unterlauter, Oberlauter and Tiefenlauter. A total of 68 percent of the voters in the four towns were in favor of the union. With effect from July 1, 1969, Neukirchen was merged with the municipalities of Tieflauter, Unterlauter and Oberlauter to form the new municipality of Lautertal in accordance with a decree of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior.
There has been an approximately 500 meter long downhill slope with a drag lift since 1969. In 1976 the Neukirchen youth center , a youth education center of the Evangelical Lutheran deanery in Coburg , was opened. In the past mainly characterized by forestry and agriculture, Neukirchen is now more a place of residence for commuters who mainly work in Coburg.

church
The Evangelical Lutheran subsidiary church of St. Johannis probably dates back to the 13th century and goes back to a castle chapel. She has created a nave in the 17th or 18th century, with a red-tiled gabled roof and a verschieferten ridge turret as bell tower. The chancel shows arched windows and Romanesque console stones. A coffered ceiling spans the church interior with its galleries on the long sides.
