Neuhütten lies in the Würzburg Region.
The community has only the Gemarkung (traditional rural cadastral area) of Neuhütten.
In 1349, Neuhütten had its first documentary mention in a Mainz document as one of the glass works in the Spessart. Only in 1513 was Neuhütten used for the first time as a place-name. As part of the Archbishopric of Mainz, Neuhütten passed with the 1803 Reichsdeputationshauptschluss to Prince Primate von Dalberg’s newly formed Principality of Aschaffenburg, with which it passed in 1814 (by this time it had become a department of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt) to Bavaria. In the course of administrative reform in Bavaria, the current community came into being with the Gemeindeedikt (“Municipal Edict”) of 1818.
Within town limits, 1,023 inhabitants were counted in 1970, 1,092 in 1987 and in 2000 1,271.
The mayor is Edmund Wirzberger (CSU).
Municipal taxes in 1999 amounted to €481,000 (converted), of which net business taxes amounted to €18,000.
The community’s arms might be described thus: Gules in chief three hexagonal prisms pointed at each end palewise in fess, in base a wheel spoked of six argent.
Neuhütten belonged until 1803 to the Archbishopric of Mainz, to which the wheel (Wheel of Mainz) refers. The name Neuhütten itself refers to the glass works – Hütte can mean a mill of some kind in German – named in written sources as early as 1477. It is these to which the three glass prisms (not quartz crystals, apparently, their shape notwithstanding) refer.
The arms were approved by the Government of Lower Franconia and have been borne since 2 September 1976[2].
According to official statistics, there were 104 workers on the social welfare contribution rolls working in producing businesses in 1998. In trade and transport this was 0. In other areas, 463 such workers worked from home. There was 1 processing business.
