New Bremen (/ˈbriː.mən/ BREE-mən[4]) is a village in Auglaize County, Ohio, United States.

The town was first a farming community started by Bavarians and Hanoverians, following a route from Bremen, Germany to America, through West Virginia and along the Ohio River to Cincinnati.

Once Cincinnati was reached the founders formed a group called the City of Bremen Society, which drew up a charter among its 33 members.

This charter authorized the purchase of 80 acres of Ohio land to build a town.

[6] A village was established, but growth had been stunted by lack of accessible markets, and malaria.

Transportation through swampy terrain was slow and expensive compared to other areas.

There were so few in the town that subcontractors had to rely on "jiggers" or 2oz bottles of whiskey to attract workers.

Increased potential profitability also lowered the risks of additional investments.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 2.15 square miles (5.57 km2), all land.

24.5% of all households were made up of individuals, and 8.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

24.4% of all households were made up of individuals, and 11.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
