history

The Heimatstube contains exhibits about the eventful history of the place. The name of the place Trautenstein goes back to the "Druidenstein" or "Drudenstein", a place of worship, sacrifice, execution and marriage of a pagan clan in the Middle Ages.
In October 1607, a large part of the place burned down.
In 1701 the baroque half-timbered church with a wooden barrel vault and horseshoe gallery was completed, and in 1834 it received an Engelhardt organ with the free-standing console and eleven stops.
In 1807 the place was incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia created by Napoleon . Trautenstein became a municipality in the canton of Hasselfelde . The canton formed part of the Blankenburg district in the Saale department . After the dissolution of the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1813 and the constitution of the Duchy of Braunschweig , the state administration was reorganized. Trautenstein became part of the Hasselfelde office in the Duchy of Braunschweig.
In 1979, parts of the DEFA fairytale film Snow White and Rose Red were filmed on and in Rappbode to the north .

coat of arms
Blazon : "In gold a green fir tree on a curved green shield base, each accompanied by a black miner's toughness."
In 1995 the municipal council commissioned the Magdeburg municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch to develop a coat of arms. The basis was a coat of arms that had already been used, but was not approved because it was heraldically incorrect. Mantzsch neglected some symbols and limited the coat of arms to its reference to the natural environment and to mining as the main branch of the economy.
The colors of the Trautenstein district are green and yellow.
