Neustift is located approximately 25 km south of the state capital Innsbruck and is the furthest of the five municipalities in the Stubaital . At the entrance to the valley, massive limestone massifs rise. In the back valley, in the Neustift municipal area, the gneiss and granite peaks with 109 three-thousanders rise up into the glacier region. Five glaciers ( called Ferner in western Tyrol ) form a large glacier ski area, the Stubai Glacier , covering 15 square kilometers .

The lack of early German place names shows the largely peaceful Bavarian conquest of land in the 7th and 8th centuries, with the long-standing sovereignty of the Romansh population, as is particularly characteristic of mining areas in the Alpine region with the local expertise of the residents. Hermann Ignaz Bidermann [2] reported in 1877 that, according to tradition, the German-speaking population in the front valley area was still unable to communicate with the Romansh Stubaiers in the back valley area in the High Middle Ages. Until the 16th century, at least parts of the population in the rear Stubai were Ladin or Romansh-speaking. [3]

The Stubaital was first mentioned in documents as Stupeia around 993–1005 [4] , and around 1400 the large community of Stubai was divided into five small communities: Telfes, Schönberg, Mieders, Fulpmes and “im Tal”. Although the name Neustift appears in documents from the 14th century as Niwenstift im tal ze Stubai , it took centuries until the current name Neustift became established alongside the place name in the valley . “The Tholer” (“valley people”) is what the residents of Neustift are still called today. The community “im Tale” comprised 5 sticks (neighborhoods): Neder, Rain (where today's Neustift later developed around the church), Milders, Oberberg and Unterberg . [5]

King Maximilian I , who called himself “elected emperor” from 1508 onwards, was hunting deer, chamois and sows in the rear Stubaital. In 1505 he founded a chapel, but it was not until 1868 that the people of Neustift received their own pastor.

In 1516 the first church in Neustift was built by the Brixen bishop St. Dedicated to George. In 1772 it fell victim to a fire. Construction of the current church had already begun in 1768 because the original one had already become too small. The priest Franz de Paula Penz was the builder of the impressive Neustift village church. He was one of the most brilliant church builders of the late Baroque in Tyrol.

In 1812 Neustift became an independent parish. From the outside the church looks like St. Georg, a rococo building in the village center, very simple, but the interior is very magnificent and decorated with frescoes by well-known masters. The parish church in Neustift is Tyrol's second largest village church. The “glacier pastor” and co-founder of the Alpine Club Franz Senn is buried in the beautiful cemetery.

During the Second World War, the SS had a high mountain school in Neustift, where prisoners from the Dachau concentration camp were also used for work.
