Subsidiary Church of the Holy Name of Mary

Around 1500, Count Fürstenberg built a castle, which presumably stood in the current village center of Neubäu. A wooden chapel was built under the caretaker Hans Georg Rotenthan after 1599. It was expanded with an annex in 1806. Neubäu belonged to the parish of Neukirchen-Balbini. Since 1817, a cooperator was responsible for pastoral care in Neubäu, thus making Neubäu a branch of Neukirchen-Balbini.
In 1900, Johann Müllbauer, the parish priest of Neubäu, asked the bishop for permission to build a new church. After the foundation stone was laid by Pastor Christian Wimmer, the church was built in the Neo-Romanesque style. The architect was Johann Baptist Schott from Munich. The sandstone blocks were brought from the nearby Schwärzenberg mountain by manual labor and haulage. Despite a minor accident, construction progressed rapidly. The new church was completed in 1901. On July 20, 1907, Bishop Antonius Henle ceremoniously consecrated the new church.
The church consists of a nave crossed by a transept, a church tower to the west, and a semicircular apse to the east. Its walls are articulated externally with pilaster strips and arched friezes. The top square story of the church tower houses the clock tower, while the octagonal one above, behind the bell tower arcades designed as bifora, houses the belfry, in which four church bells hang. A pointed helmet sits on top. The interior is spanned by a groined vault. The transverse arches rest on consoles. The church furnishings date from the time of construction.
On the high altar, we see the crucified Jesus with Mary and John; above the crucifixion group, a pelican can be seen. According to legend, the pelican gives its blood to feed its young; this was seen as a symbol of Jesus Christ, who gave his life for us.
The left side altar depicts the Sacred Heart motif, while the right side altar depicts the Holy Family. The baptismal font stands in front of the right side altar.
In the vault of the apse, Christ the Judge of the World greets the high altar, filled with light and splendor.
In the organ loft, Christ is depicted as the "Good Shepherd" surrounded by the four evangelists. Three special images of the Virgin Mary were retained from the old church: the image of the "Mother of God," the image of the "Heart of Mary," and the image of "Mary Help."
