history
prehistory
The Limes Fort Alteburg is located north of the village . From there, a Roman road led through what would later become the village of Trais. In the area of today's motorway there was a Roman manor.
High Middle Ages
The oldest surviving mention of Trais can be found in a document from 790, which was issued on the occasion of the donation of possession of a wolf helmet in Trais to the Lorsch monastery . Further donations to the monasteries Lorsch and Fulda are documented for the 8th century. The church and a mill in Trais were mentioned as early as 800 . Ultimately, the Fulda monastery acquired sovereignty over the place and awarded it as a fief to the lords of Munzenberg .
In the high Middle Ages, lords of Trais appeared in the wake of Konrad von Münzenberg as castle men at Munzenberg Castle . The von Trais family temporarily held the bailiwick in Trais.
Late Middle Ages
In 1255, Trais belonged to the Munzenberg inheritance as an allod , the estate of Ulrich II von Munzenberg . The Munzenberg inheritance was shared between six of his sisters, but continued to be administered together as a condominium . So initially each received a share:
- Adelheid , married to Reinhard I. von Hanau
- Isengard, married to Count Philipp I von Falkenstein
- Mechtild, married to Engelhard von Weinsberg
- Irmengard, married to Konrad von Weinsberg
- Hedwig, married to Heinrich von Pappenheim
- Agnes, married to Konrad von Schöneberg
The rights to the shares - and thus the rights of domination over Trais - were passed on and in some cases also sold, so that different owner associations were formed again and again. The individual owners integrated their respective share in the administrative structures of their own rule. In the rule and later county of Hanau , the share was z. B. assigned to the local office of Münzenberg , in the county of Stolberg-Roßla to the local office of Ortenberg . The allocation of the shares to individual owners developed as follows:

The church in Trais was subordinate to the Archdiocese of Mainz . It was consecrated to the Virgin Mary and St. Pancras . It had branch churches in Eberstadt and Munzenberg . The patronage was initially with the Fulda Monastery, was given in the first half of the 14th century as a Fulda fief to the Lords of Hanau , who in turn donated it to the Arnsburg Monastery in 1323 . The middle church authority was the archdeaconate of St. Maria ad Gradus in Mainz , deanship Friedberg .
Modern times
The shareholders in the condominium, to which Trais also belonged, were predominantly members of the Wetterau Counts Association or were close to it. That is why the Reformation took hold here in the second half of the 16th century , ultimately in its Reformed form.
In 1573 the Butzbach bailiff Johann von Hattstein acquired the Vogtei Trais, which was associated with large estates and numerous rights and thus laid the foundation for the Hattstein power in the Munzenberg area.
With the dissolution of the old territorial structures in Napoleonic times, Trais was added to the Grand Duchy of Hesse . However, it was until the administrative reform of 1821 further to partially unable splendid area that half the ducal Official Butzbach to 1/4 the prior gorgeous-Solms-Braunfelsischen Official Hungen to 1/4 the prior gorgeous-Stolberg-locations Bergischen Official Ortenberg to and 5/48 belonged to the civil registry office of Solms-Laubach Utphe . In 1821 the district of Butzbach was formed, which initially included the grand ducal portion, and from 1822 also the Solms portion. This was transferred to the Hungen district in 1841 . During the revolution of 1848 , Trais belonged to the Friedberg district until 1852 , then to the Nidda district , and from 1860 to the Friedberg district , which became part of the Wetterau district in 1972.
The site survived the Second World War largely unscathed. 1957 Trais became town again, in 1958 the first road was paved. In 1963 the place was the state winner in the competition " Our village should be more beautiful ". At the same time, however, with the abandonment of the Traiser School in 1958 and the abandonment of passenger transport on the Butzbach-Licher Railway, centralization in rural areas began, which ultimately led to the regional reform in Hesse . In the summer of 1971, a merger with Lich seemed foreseeable. At the citizens' meeting on October 17, however, 64% of those present voted for the incorporation into Munzenberg, which was carried out on December 31, 1971.

Courts since 1803
In the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt , the judicial system was reorganized in an executive order of December 9, 1803. The “Hofgericht Gießen” was set up as a court of second instance for the province of Upper Hesse . The jurisdiction of the first instance was carried out by the offices or landlords and thus the Domominalmt Butzbach and the civil offices of Hungen and Utphe were responsible for Trais-Munzenberg from 1806. The court court was the second instance court for normal civil disputes, and the first instance for civil family law cases and criminal cases. The second instance for the patrimonial courts were the civil law firms. The superior court of appeal in Darmstadt was superordinate .
With the founding of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in 1806, this function was retained, while the tasks of the first instance 1821–1822 were transferred to the newly created regional and city courts as part of the separation of jurisdiction and administration. From 1821 the Friedberg district court was responsible for the dominant portion and from 1822 the Hungen district court for Solms' portions. In the years up to 1825, the landlords gave their rights to the courts to the Grand Duchy of Hesse. It was only as a result of the March Revolution of 1848 that the special civil rights were finally abolished with the “Law on the Relationships of Classes and Noble Court Lords” of April 15, 1848. On November 1, 1848, the whole of Trais-Munzenberg belonged to the Butzbach district court .
On the occasion of the introduction of the Courts Constitution Act with effect from October 1, 1879, as a result of which the previous grand-ducal Hessian regional courts were replaced by local courts in the same place, while the newly created regional courts now functioned as higher courts, the name was changed to "Butzbach Local Court" and assigned to the district of the regional court of Giessen .
In 2004 the Butzbach District Court was dissolved and integrated into the Friedberg District Court. The superordinate instances are now, the regional court Gießen , the higher regional court Frankfurt am Main and the federal court as last instance.
Population development
Until recently, the place was characterized by a purely rural character. Before 1800 the population was around 200 people, after which it gradually rose to over 250 people due to improved hygienic conditions, and fell again slightly in the second half of the 19th century due to emigration and emigration due to the prevailing poverty. With the influx of displaced persons and refugees after the Second World War, the population rose again. New building areas have been designated.
