history

middle Ages

The oldest surviving mention of Neumühl comes from November 27, 1271. Neumühl was a fief of the Bishop of Strasbourg to the Lords of Lichtenberg . The first loan took place in 1274. Around 1330 there was a first division of land between Johann II. Von Lichtenberg , from the older line of the house, and Ludwig III. from Lichtenberg . Neumühl fell into the part of the property that was managed by the older line in the future. In the rule of Lichtenberg it was assigned to the office of Willstätt .

When Jakob von Lichtenberg, the last male member of the house, died in 1480 , the inheritance passed to his two nieces, Anna von Lichtenberg (* 1442; † 1474) and Elisabeth von Lichtenberg. Anna had married Count Philip I the Elder of Hanau-Babenhausen (* 1417, † 1480) in 1458, who had received a small secondary education from the holdings of the County of Hanau in order to be able to get married. The county of Hanau-Lichtenberg came into being through the marriage . Elisabeth married Simon IV. Wecker von Zweibrücken-Bitsch . The Lichtenberg legacy was shared between them. The Willstätt office and thus Neumühl became a condominium between the two heirs.

Modern times

Under the government of Count Philip III. From Hanau-Lichtenberg there was a real division of the common condominiums: The Willstätt office came entirely to the County of Hanau-Lichtenberg. In return, the Brumath office came entirely to Zweibrücken-Bitsch. Count Philip IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (1514–1590), after taking office in 1538, consistently carried out the Reformation in his county, which now became Lutheran .

After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. In 1736, the inheritance - and with it the office of Willstätt - fell to the son of his only daughter, Charlotte von Hanau-Lichtenberg , Landgrave Ludwig (IX) of Hesse-Darmstadt . According to a source, Neumühl was administered as part of Cork in the Hesse-Darmstadt period.

With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss the Willstätt office with the village of Neumühl was assigned to the newly formed Electorate of Baden in 1803 .

On July 1, 1971, Neumühl, which had been independent until then, was incorporated into Kehl as part of the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg .

politics

In the course of the municipal reform in 1973 , Neumühl was incorporated into Kehl in 1971 and the office of mayor was created. Office holder - and thus chairman of the local council - has been Fritz Vogt (Independent Voters' Association) since 1999.
