History

Until 1707, Neuburgweier was a weiler (comparable to the English concept of a hamlet) belonging to Neuburg am Rhein. In 1592, Neuburg am Rhein ended up westward of the Rhine through a modification of the river course. Since then Neuburg am Rhein and Neuburgweier have been geographically separated.^[1] It is assumed that Neuburg am Rhein was founded in 1100 by the diocese of Speyer to secure a place to cross the river.
