In terms of clubs, there was a comradely club, the Söntgerath choir, the Germania gymnastics club from Wiescheid, the loan association, the cattle insurance association and the association for the protection and promotion of non-profit interests.

In addition to the town hall of the new community, the Catholic parish church of St. Margareta and a Protestant church, the Antoniuskolleg founded in 1899 , the Clara-Schumann-Realschule and the community secondary school Neunkirchen-Seelscheid are located in Neunkirchen .

In Neunkirchen there was a hospital until the end of the 1970s, initially in a half-timbered house in the center, then in a newly constructed larger building on the southern outskirts. Afterwards it served as a retirement home for a long time and is now used for residential and commercial space.

Two industrial areas are located in the local area. In the northern industrial area of ​​Ohlenhohn, numerous small and medium-sized businesses are located, including the electronics company Tyco International . On the industrial site in the south there was a factory of the cosmetics company Avon , later a production of the beverage manufacturer Eckes and then of the company Eschbach Keramik. Today another use of the partially fallow land that makes sense for the location is under discussion.
