History

Ferry 'Baden-Pfalz'

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. It is assumed that Neuburg am Rhein was founded in 1100 by the diocese of Speyer to secure a place to cross the river.

Today, there is a ferry between Neuburgweier and Neuburg am Rhein, also known under the name of "'Baden-Pfalz' Fähre".
