history

The first known documentary mention of Thulba comes from the year 796. As early as 816 a church was built in the village. In 1141 Pope Innocent II issued a letter of protection for the "Benedictine monastery Thulba with Franchenborne"; today's parish church of the village was built at the same time as the monastery belonging to the Fulda Abbey . The monastery itself was dissolved and the nuns chased away during the peasant uprising of 1525 , which was violently angry in this area . The church was looted and devastated in the Thirty Years War (1618–1648) , after its destruction in 1629 by Provost Heinrich von Calenberg again. In the Middle Ages, close parish and economic relationships arose between Frankenbrunn, Reith and Thulba, and in 1504 a wisdom was agreed between these places . On July 1, 1978 Thulba was incorporated into Oberthulba as part of the municipal reform.

There are many wooded areas around the village. The two brooks Thulba and Laibach with alder and willow trees, with reeds and other aquatic plants in natural stream beds flow through Thulba or directly past it.

Wild boar and red deer are native to the forests around the village.
