History

New Germany was established in the 1880s around the Great Northern Railroad depot. Its first post office, however, was moved onto the area from a different site and kept the original name of Purity. The post office name was not changed to match the railroad and community name until 1902. New Germany incorporated as a village in 1901 in Camden Township and separated as a city under Minnesota law in 1974. In 1917 during World War I, the village changed its name to Motordale. It restored the name New Germany in 1922.
