History
[edit]Neureut is recorded as having been founded in 1260, under the rule of Rudolf I, Margrave of Baden-Baden.[3][4] In 1699, Frederick VII, Margrave of Baden-Durlach founded a church for 58 families of Huguenot refugees from nearby France.[3] During World War II, Neureut was heavily damaged by American planes. After the war, many American military bases were established in Germany, including one in Neureut in 1959. The American military presence there lasted until 1995. In 1975, Neureut was incorporated into Karlsruhe despite local opposition.
