history
Trebra Castle was first mentioned in 1145 and the family in 1207. Heinrich von Trebra went on the crusade in 1227 with the Thuringian Landgrave Ludwig . The family first appeared in a document on May 3, 1326 with the knights Ulrich, Botho and Johann von Trebere as Burgmannen to Heldrungen . The tribe series begins in 1408 with Albrecht von Trebra , bailiff of Sachsenburg . Later, the family owned the Rittergüter in Allstedt , Artern , Braunsroda , Bretleben , Eckartsberga , Etzleben , Gehofen , Heldrungen, Hergisdorf , Kannawurf , Leimbach , Lindenau , Nausitz (1582-1608), Oberfarnstedt , Reinsdorf , Neustädtel , Schönfeld , Teutleben and Voigtstedt .

The family is not related to the "Schenken von Trebra", which belong to the Thuringian family "Schenken von Tautenburg", which in turn comes from the " Schenken von Vargula ". The “ Marschalls von Trebra” also do not belong to this, but to the Thuringian family Marschall , who named themselves after their estates.
