Neulewin between Village Ditch and Brandenburg History

History in the Village

The Neulewin Local Heritage Museum is a small museum in a former workers’ house, built around 1875 for two families. It displays furniture, objects and tools from everyday life in the past. The house’s construction date and original use thus meet a collection that brings everyday life to light through tangible objects. In 2018, the local heritage museum was awarded the Cultural Heritage Seal. Another memorial site in Neulewin is the founding stone, which commemorates the first settlers’ life of hardship. The municipality of Neulewin also includes the old colonist village of Neulietzegöricke in the Oderbruch, which has been designated a protected historic monument in its entirety.
