history

Tröchtelborn is located in an old Germanic , previously Celtic settlement area. The place name is also of Germanic origin (born = source). It was first mentioned in a document from 750-779. The city ​​of Erfurt acquired Tröchtelborn in 1351 from the fief of the Counts of Schwarzburg and incorporated it into the Nottleben Bailiwick . From 1706 it was administered by the Alach Office. In 1802 he came with the Erfurt area to Prussia and between 1807 and 1813 to the French principality of Erfurt . With the Congress of Vienna the place came back to Prussia in 1815 and in 1816 it was affiliated to the Erfurt district in the Prussian province of Saxony .

In April 1945 Tröchtelborn was shot at by American artillery at night . The church was badly damaged, as were a number of residential and farm buildings. There were no losses among the population who had fled into the cellars. At the beginning of July 1945 the Americans handed Tröchtelborn, like all of Thuringia, over to the Red Army . It became part of the Soviet occupation zone and, in 1949, of the GDR.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification, urgently needed restoration work was carried out on the church and residential buildings. The largely preserved village image became appealing again, the meadow was also renewed and became the center of the village again. Club life was revived and a local museum was set up.

In 2017. Team volunteers was a German from a fighter aircraft of the type Focke-Wulf Fw 190 unearthed at Tröchtelborn that was probably shot down on April 5 1945th The remains of the pilot, whose identity remained unclear, were buried in the Gotha cemetery.
