Neu-Bamberg is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Bad Kreuznach district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Bad Kreuznach, whose seat is in the like-named town, although this lies outside the Verbandsgemeinde. Neu-Bamberg is a winegrowing village.
Neu-Bamberg lies in the Rheinhessische Schweiz (Rhenish-Hessian Switzerland) at the edge of the North Palatine Uplands. The land is hilly and characterized by a mild climate. Flowing through the village is the Appelbach, which once drove three mills in Neu-Bamberg. Of the three quarries that were once found in the village, one is still in business. Neu-Bamberg’s elevation, as measured at its defining landmark, the Kandelpforte (clocktower), is 157.23 m above sea level.
Clockwise from the north, Neu-Bamberg’s neighbours are the municipalities of Wöllstein, Siefersheim and Wonsheim, all of which lie in the neighbouring Alzey-Worms district, and the municipalities of Fürfeld and Frei-Laubersheim, which both likewise lie in the Bad Kreuznach district. Neu-Bamberg also has an outlying piece of municipal area to the south that borders, again, clockwise from the north, on the municipalities of Fürfeld, Wonsheim (this is also an outlying piece of that municipality’s area) and Tiefenthal, another municipality in the Bad Kreuznach district.
