history
The village of Neuberg was founded in the 12th century at the foot of the castle of the same name. The first written record dates back to 1288. owner of the manorial system was at the time the sex of the Knights of Neipperg . In 1394, after the death of Konrad von Neuberg, ownership of this line fell to the Neippergers, who last called themselves von Neuberg, to the Zedtwitzer family . During the Reformation, the place became Protestant along with the area around the Ascher Zipfel . The castle was devastated during the Thirty Years' War. In 1690 the Sorg Castle was built; In 1693 the Neuschloß Castle was built. The castle was built below the castle. After the rulership was divided, the Lower Part Castle was built in 1750 and the Upper Part Castle was built in 1752. The remains of the castle were used as building material for this construction.
In 1885 the Neuberg stop was built near Elfhausen on the newly built Asch - Roßbach local railway . During the Habsburg Monarchy, the community belonged to the judicial district of Asch or District Asch .
In 1902 the upper part of the castle burned out and was no longer rebuilt. The lower part of the castle ( Dolní zámek ), which fell into disrepair after the Second World War , was demolished in 1965; an investigation and documentation of the building had not previously been carried out. All that remains is the inaccessible old tower of the castle.
After the Munich Agreement , Neuberg was added to the German Empire and belonged to the Asch district until 1945 .
The settlements Neuschloß, Sorg , Steinpöhl and Elfhausen also belonged to the place . The Zedtwitz were expropriated in 1945 after 550 years of ownership in Neuberg.
In 1946 the German residents were expelled .

Culture and sights
- The Church of the Good Shepherd was built between 1470 and 1490 by the Eger burgrave Heinz von Zedtwitz as a castle and burial chapel. In 1542 the church became Protestant; it is said to be the oldest Protestant church on the territory of the Austro-Hungarian state, which existed until 1918 . Between 1678 and 1682, under Ernst Wolf von Zedtwitz, it was converted into a baroque church. In 1992, conservation measures were started, for which former German residents made a large part of the funds available. A service in German was held every second Sunday of the month. In addition, since 1992, a parish fair has been celebrated on the second Sunday after Easter.
