Trostberg ensemble
The Trostberg ensemble is a protected architectural monument . The ensemble includes the historically built-up area of Trostberg , a town in the Upper Bavarian district of Traunstein .
history
Trostberg was founded in 1230/40 on the western bank of the Alz under the protection of their “Trozzeberch” castle, which was built at the beginning of the 13th century, by the governors of the Baumburg monastery , the Counts of Ortenburg-Kraiburg . The place developed from the middle of the 13th century, when the Alz became the border river between the Duchy of Bavaria and the Archbishopric of Salzburg and it remained until 1810, to a market on the border. As part of the Salt Road , wagon traffic with grain and salt became an economic factor for Trostberg.
description
Because of the narrow location between the castle hill and the river and the small area, no arable farms were built, but almost exclusively craft businesses.
Initially, the settlement comprised the area of today's main street with buildings nine to ten meters wide regularly arranged on both sides of the street. Between 1260 and 1300 there was an expansion to the southwest via today's Marienplatz to the slightly sloping front market. The link between the main street and the forecourt is the St. Andreas church on Marienplatz, which at the same time remains at a distance from the market because of its slightly elevated position and a small forecourt. Until 1810, the market was closed in the west and east by towers and divided between Hauptstrasse 1 and 2 by the Mittertor.
There has never been a closed city wall . Instead, the houses are lined up in a closed construction. The almost entirely four-storey buildings, some with stepped gables and some with an advance wall, are essentially from the 16th and 17th centuries. Century and still stand on the medieval floor plan. On the back facing the Alz, they have protruding roofs, arbors arranged in two or three storeys and high retaining walls.
Towards the western and eastern exit of the town, the buildings are lower, mostly two-story with flat gable roofs . Trostberg is one of the market and street settlements of the Chiemgau and Salzachgau that were built according to plan in the 13th century , in which the houses are lined up along a main axis, which can be expanded like a square, and the church is separated from it.
