history

Imshausen was first mentioned in 1278 in a document from the nearby Cornberg monastery . Imshausen was an aristocratic village from an early age. A park leads to the Imshausen manor house , which with its two side buildings forms a three-wing complex. For a long time the manor house was the seat of the von Trott zu Solz family , who acquired the property around 1500. The house was built in 1791, two years after the French Revolution, by Rudolf von Trott zu Solz and his wife Eleonore Christiane (née von Leyser), clearly based on the then dominant French architectural style in the transition from Rococo to Classicism.

A descendant of the von Trott zu Solz family is the resistance fighter Adam von Trott zu Solz , who lived with his parents and siblings in the manor house from 1919 to 1921. From 1950 to 1995 the house was the seat of the Imshausen community founded by his sister Vera von Trott zu Solz , which now lives in the Tannenhof above Imshausen. The community also encouraged the establishment of the Foundation Adam von Trott , which today the mansion and the two wing building, caused by the expansion of a former barn Visser 't Hooft's House and the West Wing, the former as a coach-house and coach house has served as Uses conference and meeting place.

Above Imshausen, a memorial cross commemorates Adam von Trott zu Solz and the others involved in the assassination attempt of July 20, 1944. A public commemoration has been held here every year since 1984 on the anniversary of the attack, jointly organized by the Adam von Trott Foundation and the SPD sub-district of Hersfeld-Rotenburg.

As part of the Hessian territorial and administrative reform , Imshausen was incorporated into the city of Bebra on December 31, 1971 .
