History
Neusaess is a union from 8 formerly independent villages, which united in the years 1972 and 1977, in order to avoid the threatening incorporation by Augsburg.
Since 2014, Richard Greiner (CSU) has been mayor of Neusäß.

Why this record matters
“Neusäß” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Neusäß, city and Bavaria provides the most credible route into that argument.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 25, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q503208. VIAF identifies the subject as 137344446. The Library of Congress control number is n91114470. Authority coordinates are 48.400, 10.833. 2 of 6 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2018, 1972, 1977 and 2014.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
