Neuenhof is located in the east of the Canton of Aargau and is a significant part of the Baden agglomeration. The municipality stretches along the right bank of the Limmat River and is bordered to the south by the steep slopes of the Heitersberg. Historically, the region was already important during Roman times, as it lay within the direct catchment area of the Vindonissa legionary camp. The modern development of Neuenhof began on a large scale with the industrialization of the Limmat Valley and the construction of the Zurich-Baden railway line. Today, the town is characterized by a mix of residential areas and industrial zones, with excellent connections to the A1 motorway and public transport attracting many commuters. Despite the high population density, Neuenhof gives substantial green spaces for leisure activities through its forested hills and riverbanks. The infrastructure includes modern schools, sports facilities, and shopping centers that meet the needs of the growing population. Culturally, the municipality is closely linked to the neighboring city of Baden, yet it maintains an independent identity through local associations and festivals within this dynamic economic region.
