history
A predecessor settlement existed in the area of Neumünden with the village of Ratten. It is mentioned for the first time in 970 in a deed of gift from Otto I to the Archbishopric of Magdeburg . The settlement was at a ford of the Fulda in the area of a now silted up river arm. The desolation of rats is assumed at the beginning of the 16th century after a border treaty between Duke Erich I and Landgrave Philip of Hesse . Thereafter, there was no significant settlement in the area of today's Neumündens until the end of the 19th century. There were summer houses, the ferry house for the river ferry across the Fulda and an inn built in 1877.
The construction of the Fulda bridge in 1882 promoted settlement in Neumünden because the bridge enabled a connection to the historic town center. The Neumünden municipal cemetery was also laid out in 1882 . On the southern edge of Neumünden, the Kurhessen barracks was built between 1900 and 1907 in an initial construction phase, which was later followed by others. The large-scale and partly listed barracks complex still dominates the cityscape today. With the end of military use in 1993, the former barracks area was converted into a residential and commercial park.
Between the barracks and the Neumündener Friedhof, the company premises of the C. F. Schroeder emery factory were built around 1900, which until 2009 produced emery paper . A small workers' settlement with four-family houses was built near the factory .
