history

Already in the "Kiel City Book" from 1264 to 1289 Neuwühren appeared with the name de Javorn , which is derived from the old Polabitic (a Slavic tribe) word Javor for maple. Shortly afterwards it was called Nî-Jaworn , which suggests that, as was customary at the time, a German “new” village was founded next to Wendish for the purpose of colonization. Around 1460 the village was already called Nyenwörden - it was not a long way to Neuwühren. Like most places in the area, Neuwühren belonged to the Preetz monastery . After the church there was built, Neuwühren belonged to the Elmschenhagen parish . In 1931 the place was incorporated into the newly founded municipality of Pohnsdorf.
