history

Neumarkt is mentioned for the first time in a royal document issued by Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa in Goslar on November 25, 1188, when he grants Bishop Eberhard the right to found a new market across the bridge between the bridges at the Church of St. Thomas. This means that the two bridges at the west and east end of the suburb as well as the church and thus the place are already there. Now it got its name, which is still valid today, through Barbarossa: Forum novum. The country road leading to Leipzig to Elsterfurt, a continuation of Klobikauer Heerstraße to the east, is clearly occupied. Growing trade and change made a new market promising. The suburb was surrounded by a ditch flooded by the Saale, and at the east end there was a stone city gate. There was also a hospital here. As an independent suburb of Merseburg until 1815, Neumarkt belonged to the Hochstift-Merseburgischen Amt Merseburg , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the secondary school principality of Saxony-Merseburg between 1656/57 and 1738 . The decisions of the Congress of Vienna the place came in 1815 to Prussia in 1816 the county Merseburg in the administrative district of Merseburg of the Province of Saxony allocated. In 1823 Neumarkt was united with Merseburg.
