New Bremen, Ohio

New Bremen grew from 2,978 to 3,034 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

History of Western Ohio and Auglaize County, with Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Pioneers and Prominent Public Men, published 1905 names this settlement in its chapter on German Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 540 specimens collected within 10 miles of New Bremen between 1800 and 1974: 444 Animalia, 95 Plantae, 1 Bacteria. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Wetzstein, Albert Wetzstein, Anonymous collector s.n. "91" [1898-08-30] and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
