Nová Lehota (Template:Lang-de) is a village and municipality in Prievidza District in the Trenčín Region of middle Slovakia. Since 1976 it has been a part of the municipality of Handlová.
History
In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1487.
Historically the village belongs to the Hauerland region in the Carpathian Mountains. The origins of the German settlement go as far as the 13th century when the necessity of colonization of regions devastated by the Mongolian invasion of 1240/41 arose. During the late 13th century there were many German habitats founded in the Slovak region by diverse German nationalities like Saxons, Bavarians or others, mostly from north-east Germany.
The foundation of Neuhau is not primarily connected to the colonization after the Mongol invasion. It is being dated somehow later, maybe even more then hundred years later. It is also generally suggested that the first inhabitants of the place situated in the valley halfway from Handlová to Žiar nad Hronom in a rather hilly surrounding were actually Slavs. Supposedly there has been as much as 3 manors of the primary settlemnts of Slavs latter to become extinct and fully replaced by Germans from either Handlová or Janova Lehota.
Geography
The municipality lies at an altitude of 620 metres and covers an area of 18.214 km². It has a population of about 236 people.
