The Neuberg -circle is the locus of the polygon vertex of a triangle on a given base and with a given Brocard angle . From the center , the base subtends the angle . The same procedure can be repeated for the other two sides of a triangle resulting in a total of three Neuberg circles. Similarly, three reflected Neuberg circles with centers , , and can be obtained from the main circles by reflection in their respective sides of the triangle.
The equation of the -circle can be found by taking the base as (0, 0), (, 0) and solving

The centers of the Neuberg circles are called Neuberg centers, and the triangles determined by the Neuberg centers are called the first and second Neuberg triangles.
No Kimberling centers lie on any of the Neuberg circles or Neuberg reflected circles.
The circle parameters of the Neuberg circles are given by

The first Neuberg triangle (left figure) and reflected first Neuberg triangle (right figure) are illustrated above.
On one side of a given line taken as a base, it is possible to construct six triangles directly or inversely similar to a given scalene triangle, and the vertices of these triangles lie on their common Neuberg circles (Johnson 1929, p. 289).
