Surname
etymology
From what the original place name Rorinlacha is actually derived is not exactly known. There are two possible theories:
- It consists of the Old High German words řorīn and lahha . It means "a swamp overgrown with reeds ". This root of the name can also be found in the name of Erlach ( erl lahha ).
- It consists of the personal name "Roggo", a relative of Megingaud, and "Lacha" for a delimited area. After that it means place of the Roggo .
With the establishment of the monastery on the "New Place" the place was first called Niuwenstat, then Neustadt. It consists of the Old High German words niuwe and stat . The same root of the name can also be found in the nearby town of Neuendorf . The addition on the Main distinguishes Neustadt from other places of the same name.

history
Until the church is planted
The Benedictine monastery Neustadt am Main was founded before the year 769. It was dissolved in 1803 in the course of secularization .
As part of the Rothenfels office of the Würzburg monastery, the place fell to the princes Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss in 1803. After being mediatized in 1806 by the Principality of Aschaffenburg, it fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1814, together with the Principality of Aschaffenburg (now a department of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt) . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria, today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818.

In 1862 the district office Lohr am Main was formed, on whose administrative area Neustadt was located.
