history

The area was probably settled in the 13th century by locators from the Waldsassen monastery . In 1348 the monastery sold the Schönbacher Ländchen to Rüdiger von Sparneck for financial reasons . Fassattengrün, Ullersgrün, Frauenreuth, Ehmet, Krondorf, Wallhof, Berg, Hörsin, Zweifelsreuth, Mühlgrün, Brenndorf, Dreigrün and Haid belonged to the Wallhof manor. Until 1838 the owners were the Vladiken Mulz von Walda, who also called themselves "Mulz von Waldau auf Wallhof und Neuhof" for three centuries . They were followed by von Hartenberg's .

Neukirchen itself only came into being after the Reformation in the 17th century. The Wallhof manor, to which this area belonged, was parish to Klinghart before 1444 and then to Frauenreuth. At that time the Klinghart manor was a Protestant area with Evangelical Lutheran belief.

Around 1611 there was a small chapel with a wooden cross in the forest between Wallhof and Neuhof (Brenndorf). The Lords of the Cross with the Red Star on Maria Kulm obtained the right to hold services for the few Catholics in the chapel. One of them, who was cared for in Maria Kulm ( Chlum Svaté Maří ) after an illness, made contact with the local Catholic priest Sebastian Christian. At his suggestion, a Catholic church is said to have been built on the place of the small chapel in 1613, where new settlers who were parish to Kulm settled. In 1657 the church was elevated to a parish church at the request of the landlords Mulz von Waldau . The settlement around the new church was named Neukirchberg and in 1771 had 30 houses; In 1785 there were 50 houses in the village of Neukirch .

In 1840 a long drought led to famine. Ten years later, the military who billeted in the village brought typhus with them. Neukirchen was a farming village whose residents earned extra income by weaving. Later it became a center for domestic violin making . The instruments were bought and exported by Factors in Schönbach .

After the abolition of patrimonial Neukirchen with Brenndorf, Dreigrün, Zweifelsreuth, Ehmet, Krondorf and Wallhof formed a community in the judicial district of Wildstein and in the district of Eger from 1850 . In 1894 a water pipe was built. The school, which had existed since 1657, became a parish school with four classes. In 1879 the place received a new school building. In 1900, the Tirschnitz – Wildstein – Schönbach local railway started operations and promoted the town's economic development. The Neukirchen-Brenndorf railway station was built in Brenndorf. In 1905 a textile school was built. The Czech name Nový Kostel has also been used since 1921. In 1930 there were 1226 predominantly German-speaking people living in the community. The village reached its greatest boom before the Second World War . After the Munich Agreement in 1938, Neukirchen was added to the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the district of Eger . In 1939 Neukirchen had 1,137 inhabitants. After the end of the war, the community returned to Czechoslovakia and the Germans were expropriated in the course of the expulsion of the Germans from Czechoslovakia in the spring of 1946 and forced to leave the place. Most of the transports went to Bavaria and the Eastern Zone .
