history

Until the church is planted

The name probably goes back to the construction of a new church after the Hungarian invasions around 1000. Originally a branch of Tiefenbach, according to a different opinion of Aicha vorm Wald, Neukirchen later became a parish. The testimony of a pastor Sopo von Neukirchen in the years 1158 and 1214 and the testimony of a pastor Gebolf or Gewolf von Neukirchen from 1249 suggest this. Neukirchen was first recorded as a parish in 1417.

The bishop of Passau had the right of patronage over this parish. Neukirchen belonged to the Duchy of Bavaria, which transferred the patronage to the Counts of Schwarzenstein zu Englburg in 1330 and from 1617 to the Counts of Taufkirchen zu Englburg. Several Schwarzensteiners are buried in the parish church. In 1634 the plague raged in the Hofmark Neukirchen.

Neukirchen vorm Wald belonged to the Landshut Rent Office and the Vilshofen Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria . The Catholic parish church of St. Martin is known as the "mother church of the Dreiburgenland ".

The political community in its current form was created through the administrative reform in 1818.
