Neuhausen am Rheinfall is a Swiss Municipality in the canton Schaffhausenthat with the northern one Schaffhausen has grown together. The outstanding attraction is the Rhine Falls from Schaffhausen, which lies on the Neuhauser corridor.
background
Neuhausen am Rheinfall Has had this name since 1938, before that the community was only called Neuhausen, which could lead to confusion.
In the Middle Ages, the city was located on the site of an easily passable ford Schaffhausen, because of the impassable Rhine Falls for shipping (historically also known as "Grosser Laufen"), the goods shipped had to be unloaded in Schaffhausen and transported by land (along today's Zentralstrasse) down to the Rhine Falls basin, where they reappear in the area of the Wörth Castle Ships were loaded for onward transport.
In the area of this reloading point, the place "Nuwenhusen" developed, which was characterized by agriculture for a long time, viticulture led to a large part of the income. With the connection to the Swiss (1857) and Baden (1863) railway networks, Rhine Falls tourism developed and luxury hotels emerged.
The hydropower of the Rhine Falls was used from 1853 by the Swiss industrial company (machine, wagon and weapon construction) and from 1888 by the Aluminum-Industrie-Aktiengesellschaft (later Alusuisse) and the rural location developed into an important industrial location. With a large number of foreign workers, the city had reached its maximum population of around 12,000 in 1969. With the recession, the closure of large industrial plants and the relocation of production to cheaper foreign countries, the number of inhabitants and employment opportunities declined.
For tourists, the natural spectacle of the Rhine Falls the main attraction, in Neuhausen the overnight accommodations and rents are significantly lower than, for example, in the Schaffhausen city area.
