New Germany, Nova Scotia
New Germany, Lunenburg County (2006 population: 464) is a community in a central portion of southwestern Nova Scotia, Canada. It is located on the LaHave River, which splits the town into two halves which are connected by two early-20th century steel bridges. A main service centre on Trunk 10, New Germany is 25 kilometers north of Bridgewater on the south shore and 64 kilometers south of Middleton in the Annapolis Valley.
==History==
The area was settled in the early 19th century by descendants of the Foreign Protestants who arrived in Lunenburg in the 18th century. The first settlement was close to the New Germany Lake.
Through the years, New Germany has been the site of varied economic activity. It was the hub for numerous outlying communities. J. Zwicker and Son of New Germany sold electric power to the Barss Corner Electric Light Company for distribution. Not only was there a mill at Morgan Falls on the LaHave River, there was also a factory on the LaHave River which produced wooden boxes for products such as fish. During the mid-20th century, the town was particularly vibrant and home to numerous grocery stores, clothing stores, and a movie theatre. Until the 1980s, New Germany was also accessible by the Halifax and Southwestern Railway though the now-abandoned railroad tracks are popular with all-terrain vehicle enthusiasts who sometimes gather at the Small Engine Repair Station yard, and one of the few available spaces for young people to gather.
