    As early as 1264-1289, Neuwühren appeared in the "Kiel City Register" under the name de Javorn, which derives from the Old Polabite (a Slavic root) word Javor for maple. Shortly thereafter, it was renamed Nî-Jaworn, indicating that, as was common at the time, a German "new" village was founded alongside the Wendish one for the purpose of colonization. By 1460, the village was already called Nyenwörden—it was now only a short distance to Neuwühren. Like most of the surrounding villages, Neuwühren belonged to the Preetz Monastery. After the construction of the church there, Neuwühren became part of the Elmschenhagen parish. In 1931, the village was incorporated into the newly founded municipality of Pohnsdorf.

      Forest chapel "For Eternal Consolation" Neuwühren

      Probably one of the smallest houses of worship is in the Neuwühren district. This is the forest chapel called "For Eternal Consolation". The small building was built in 1882 as a syringe house by the Preetz monastery. After the Second World War, however, the syringe house was no longer needed. At that time, a large number of refugees had come to Neuwühren.

      The services always took place in a living room on one of the farms. Then the idea came up to turn the syringe house into a prayer room. In the course of the next few years, the building was changed through renovations and additions.

      The chapel is maintained by a private chapel association. The chapel is open every day and can be visited. As a special feature, Low German sermons are regularly held in this chapel. The forest chapel is very easy to reach both by car and by bike.

        The chapel "Zum Ewigen Troste" is said to be the smallest of its kind in Germany.
