History

In 1815, Neuhausen was annexed by Prussia, and from 1815 to 1947, it was part of the Province of Brandenburg. As of 1880, it was a predominantly Sorbian village with only 10 German residents.^[3]

After World War II, Neuhausen was incorporated into the State of Brandenburg from 1947 to 1952 and the Bezirk Cottbus of East Germany from 1952 to 1990. Since 1990, Neuhausen has been part of Brandenburg.
