Rural Character
Neuried was created in 1973 through the voluntary merger of Altenheim, Dundenheim, Ichenheim with Schutterzell, and Müllen.
Agriculture continues to be of great importance in Neuried. Tobacco is grown in Altenheim, Dundenheim, Ichenheim and Schutterzell.
Neuried is described as Germany's largest tobacco-growing municipality, although the cultivated area has declined.
