Incorporations

On January 1, 1976, the previously independent municipality Obermühlbach, which had more inhabitants than Neukirchen, incorporated. Dörnau (1979), Birkhof and Rimbach (1980) were reclassified from Hunderdorf to Neukirchen.

Population

  • 1961: 1,514 inhabitants
  • 1970: 1,477 inhabitants
  • 1987: 1,491 inhabitants

  • 2000: 1,763 inhabitants
  • 2005: 1,808 inhabitants
  • 2010: 1,845 inhabitants
  • 2015: 1,733 inhabitants

Landmarks

  • Neukirchen is a state-approved resort. Noteworthy next to the developed cycling and hiking trails are the circular fruit garden and the nature trail Perlbachtal.

Infrastructure

Education

There are the following facilities:

  • Kindergartens: 50 kindergartens with 62 children (as of 1999)
  • Elementary schools: one with four teachers and 59 students (as of 2017/2018)

Roadways

Neukirchen is located on State Road 2139. In 2017, a Bavaria-wide pilot project to measure the volume of motorcycles was carried out by the Bavarian Police Department. Following the successful completion of the pilot project, the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior decided at the beginning of 2018 to allow the use of noise displays nationwide. Neukirchen, in cooperation with the neighboring municipality of St. Englmar and initiated by council member Matthias Wallner, is taking on a pioneering role in Bavaria in the fight against motorcycle noise.
