Neveling studied architecture at the Technical University of Berlin and became a member of the Corps Berolina. Later he settled in Kiel, where after the Second World War he made an important contribution in the reconstruction of the city. His work includes the Ostseehalle (1951), the new Chamber for Trade and Industry, the Auditorium Maximum, the Christian Albrechts University of Kiel, the constructions at the Oslo Quay and the rebuilding of the Alte Markt in 1972. This latter project was generally criticized. because it disrupted the historic city structure and completely subordinated the public square to the commercial destination of the buildings.
Outside Kiel, the Kurmittelhaus in Lübeck-Travemünde, the now demolished branch of the Landesbank Schleswig-Holstein (now HSH Nordbank) in Lübeck, the Ostsee Gymnasium in Timmendorfer Strand and the Rhein-Mosel-Halle in Koblenz were also plans built. He was also known as a designer of village churches.
