history

"Drosen" (Tröstau) was first mentioned in a document on July 20, 1314 . Traut von Hertenberg -Schönbrunn decreed to transfer Schönbrunn Castle , Tröstau and other properties to the Waldsassen monastery after his death , which he later changed to the detriment of the monastery. The municipality keeps the document with the first mention of the place in its archive. Later Heinrich von Hertenberg got into an argument with the burgrave of Nuremberg from the House of Hohenzollern . As a result of the conflict he was forced to cede Schönbrunn Castle and the castle property in Tröstau in 1344. The Hohenzollern already ruled Bayreuth and acquired almost the entire Fichtel Mountains between 1285 and 1415. There is evidence of an iron hammer for the production of wrought iron in 1435 , which was in operation until 1861. In Tröstau there was also mining for tin and iron ore , whereby a hammer gentleman was mentioned in a document in 1437. The place was part of the Hohenzollern principality of Bayreuth , which had become Prussian in 1791 , belonged to the Franconian Empire from 1500 and fell to France with the Peace of Tilsit in 1807 . Tröstau was sold with the Principality of Bayreuth to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1810 and became an independent political municipality in the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria in 1818. Granite mining gained in importance around 1900 and at that time employed around 130 workers. In 1954, the district of Fahrenbach of the municipality of Nagel was re- municipalityed to Tröstau, and in 1978 the municipality of Vordorf . In 1978 Tröstau became the seat of the newly created administrative community Tröstau , to which the municipalities of Bad Alexandersbad and Nagel also belong. The community celebrated its 700th anniversary in 2014 with numerous events.

coat of arms

Blazon : "By the outline of a double mountain ( Kossine ) raised, divided by black and silver, below next to each other two turned away, red armored black bear paws holding a red angle iron and a red hammer." The bear paws are reminiscent of the former rural community of Vordorf (since 1978 a district) in which the last bear in Northern Bavaria was shot in 1769 . The paws also remind of the von Hertenberg family , who were wealthy in the village.

The former, approximately 700-year-old Hammerherrenschloss in the Leupoldsdorf district is a building worth seeing .
