== History == thumb|Ferry 'Baden-Pfalz' Until 1707, ''Neuburgweier'' was a {{lang|de|weiler}} (comparable to the English concept of a hamlet) belonging to Neuburg am Rhein. In 1592, Neuburg am Rhein ended up westward of the Rhine through a modification of the river course. Since then Neuburg am Rhein and ''Neuburgweier'' have been geographically separated.<ref>[http://www.rp-karlsruhe.de/servlet/PB/show/1319837/rpk56_brosch_nsg_neuburgweier_faltbl.pdf Naturschutzgebiet Altrhein Neuburgweier] (PDF-Datei; 1,1&nbsp;MB) Zum historischen Mäanderdurchbruch des Rheins zwischen Neuburg und Weier.</ref> It is assumed that Neuburg am Rhein was founded in 1100 by the diocese of Speyer to secure a place to cross the river.

Today, there is a ferry between ''Neuburgweier'' and Neuburg am Rhein, also known under the name of "'Baden-Pfalz' Fähre".
