history
The first documentary mention of the place - which is controversial in professional circles - is dated to the year 1185 (according to the Siegburger Miracle Book ). The "parochia Niwinstat" (parish Neustadt) is mentioned in 1213 in a document of the Heisterbach monastery . Neustadt an der Wied belonged to the Altenwied office for more than five centuries and was thus - with interruptions - under the rule of the Electorate of Cologne . The early history of the parish is closely linked to the name of the Saynian Countess Mechthild von Sayn , who transferred the patronage of the Cistercian Abbey of Heisterbach in 1254 . Heisterbach's pastoral care continued until the abbey was dissolved in 1803 in the course of secularization . In 1815 Neustadt became Prussian.
Since the 17th century there was an ore mine in Neustadt, which was closed in 1902 and which is reminiscent of the street name "Im Schiefer". The Linz – Altenkirchen railway line, which opened in 1912, ceased operations in 1961. At the beginning of the 20th century Neustadt gained importance as a tourist destination ("summer resort") with hotels, restaurants, pensions and a lido on the Wied.
