history
As early as 1025 Netra was mentioned as "Nederne in Reinicgowe" as an imperial property at that time, when King Conrad II gave the place to the Fulda monastery. In 1073 the lords of Netra were named for the first time, who probably also built the first castle. This they wore in 1318 the Landgrave of Thuringia to feud on. In the course of time, the lords of Netra handed over parts of their property to the Germerode monastery . Parts of Netra were bought by the von Boyneburg- Hohenstein family from the von Netra family in 1366 . .
In 1556 the family of those from Netra died out, the moated castle there and the rest of the property belonging to it fell hereditary to the Hohenstein family, who converted the castle into a moated castle. At the end of the 16th century, there were 86 subjects of various gentlemen in Netra: In addition to a majority of Boyneburg-Hohenstein subjects, there were 18 Germerödische men (subjects of the former Germerode monastery, which was taken over by the Landgrave after the Reformation) as well as some subjects of the Electoral Palatinate who together with half of Röhr, which were given as a fief. Contrary to often repeated but false claims, the village did not come to the landgrave's office in Bischhausen in 1654 , but remained part of the Boyneburg court until those of Boyneburg-Hohenstein died out in 1792 . In 1792 Netra and its castle became state property. The estate became a state domain . In 1818 the seat of the district court in the Eschwege district was in Netra . From 1821 the place belonged to the Eschwege district .
On December 31, 1971, the previously independent place was incorporated into the new municipality of Ringgau as part of the regional reform in Hesse . Today, Netra is the seat of the Ringgau municipal administration. In the community center, which was built in 1976, all of the community's official institutions can be found. A village community center and the fire station until 1993 are affiliated .
