Neuenburg am Rhein, Border town in Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, Germany.

Situated along the Rhine River at 230 meters elevation, Neuenburg am Rhein forms part of the Upper Rhine Plain in southwestern Baden-Württemberg.

Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, declared Neuenburg a free imperial city in 1219, marking the beginning of its formal recognition and political status.

The position between the Black Forest and Rhine River shapes local traditions, with regular celebrations taking place in the central town square.

The municipality incorporates three former independent communities: Zienken, Grißheim, and Steinenstadt, creating a unified administrative structure with 12,482 residents.

In 2022, the town transformed 41 hectares of riverside land into an extensive garden exhibition space for the Baden-Württemberg Landesgartenschau.
