overview

  • The Burg Trendelburg built in the 13th century (copy from "Liber vitae", Corvey, the State Archives Munster) in the border area by the river Diemel - here there was a ford, crossed with the participation of important trade routes - between the dioceses of Paderborn, Mainz and up-and-coming Landgraviate of Hesse . The builder was Konrad III. von Schöneberg (1249-1311). The place of judgment was placed on the linden tree in front of the castle. Separated by the neck ditch, a small settlement was built on the ridge in front of the castle, which had two gates and was enclosed by a city wall. Older villages in the valley (Trende, Sulten, Exen) were gradually abandoned and abandoned in favor of the fortified Trendelburg.
  • A document (copiam 1303; in the Würzburg State Archives) states that Konrad sought the support of the Archdiocese of Mainz . Shortly afterwards his Schöneberg Castle was stormed by troops from the Paderborn Monastery.
  • From 1306 Trendelburg belonged to the bishopric Paderborn and half to the Landgraviate of Hesse. A jointly elected bailiff based at Trendelburg Castle represented both parties from now on until the 15th century.
  • In 1443 and 1456 the castle and town were devastated by fires and then rebuilt.
  • The Hessian Landgrave Ludwig II took possession of the opposing half of the castle in 1464 during the Hesse-Paderborn feud (1464–1471) and gave Trendelburg town rights . After a peace treaty , Trendelburg remained Hessian territory.
  • During the Thirty Years' War , Tilly's troops camped in Trendelburg and the surrounding area. In fighting, they destroyed 51 of 112 houses. The plague raged and 50% of the population died.
  • In 1676, Landgrave Karl enlarged the castle and converted it into a hunting lodge .
  • The manor "Zur Abgunst" was built in 1703 after the castle seat of the von Stockhausen family was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War .
  • Construction of the Landgraf Karl Canal (1700–1730) with a lock in Trendelburg.
  • During the Seven Years' War , fierce fighting took place between French and Brunswick troops. The castle was set on fire from the hill (bünge) opposite, and the French defenders had to surrender.
  • Since the 19th century, after the offices and the prison were dissolved, a Prussian forestry office was housed in the castle complex.
  • In 1848 the Carlsbahn was opened with the station in Trendelburg and the Deiseler Tunnel , which still exists today . Until 1986 there was rail traffic to Trendelburg.
  • In 1901 the von Stockhausen family bought the castle and expanded it into a residence.

Buildings

  • The Burg Trendelburg was in the 13th century hilltop castle built at the highest point of the village. It is considered the symbol of the city.
  • Old town: Most of the medieval buildings in the old town fell victim to a town fire in 1868. Some vaulted cellars, especially the one rediscovered in 2001 with the ritual bath , are relics of this time. Remnants of the city wall as well as the layout of the streets and intermediate paths (Zweeten) correspond to the original planning. In the 1950s and 1960s, remnants of the old buildings in the area of ​​the city wall and town hall, as well as the fountain on the old market square and the large Diemel Bridge (built in 1747 by the Swedish king and Hessian landgrave Friedrich) were demolished. Diemel-Saxon farmhouses with a large gate and threshing floor have been built in the Altes Tor street since the 17th century in a row in front of the city wall of the agricultural town. The facades decorated with inscriptions have been preserved. The oldest surviving farmhouse, Rathausstrasse 3, was built around 1460.
  • Historic town hall: The three-storey half-timbered building with a Gothic entrance gate and a hall in the entrance area is part of today's city administration. It used to be the seat of the mayor. It had a prison room and housed parts of the fire department. The city coat of arms and the sundial from 1582 should be mentioned on the front. A first fundamental renovation, in which the entrance area was renewed with a central staircase, took place in the 1970s, after the entire administration of the community had been housed here. A comprehensive renovation has been carried out since 2010, due to considerable structural damage.
  • The Evangelical Parish Church (formerly St. Maria ) with structural elements (left aisle) from the founding time was completed in the 14th century, after the city fires in 1443 and 1456 it was rebuilt as a three-aisled hall church with a ribbed vault . The quarry stone masonry of the outer walls is made of local sandstone. The nave consists of a central building with three bays and two side aisles of equal height in Gothic architectural style . The square pillars of the arcades , which separate the aisles from the central nave, are also made of rubble, but are plastered. The choir adjoins to the northeast. The church tower attached to the side has a lantern dome that was renovated in 2007 and was built in 1789. In 1889 the main entrance was moved to the west. In the sacristy , the was a burial place of the family of Stockhausen. During the renovation in the 20th century, the crypt was dissolved, the central stained glass window replaced with a modern one, the floor with the tombstones renewed, the frescoes hidden under white whitewash exposed and the gallery with the aristocratic residence and the entrance removed. In 2007 the well-preserved relief-like grave slab of Ernst Hans von Stockhausen, 1578, was attached from the outside to the inner rear wall of the church. The well-preserved epitaphs of the von Stockhausen family and the exposed and renovated wall paintings (Christophorus, Hl. Drei Könige) are of particular interest.
  • The mikveh of the former Jewish community was rediscovered by accident in 2001 during renovation work on the house at Am Brunnen 6. Two vaulted cellars, which are connected by a short corridor, recreate the medieval Trendelburg. The vaulted cellar and bathroom can be visited free of charge during the opening hours of the tourist office. The larger room was a storage cellar, the smaller the bathroom for the Jewish community, which had existed since the 17th century. A square basin with three steps was fed by a water pipe with “living water”, that is, flowing rain or spring water. Remnants of the aqueduct and a log from 1783 prove this. The half-timbered house was destroyed in a city fire about 140 years ago and the entrance was filled in. The entrance to the bathroom was bricked up. It can therefore be assumed that the bathroom was given up in the 19th century and replaced by a new one. So it survived the following time undamaged. In the 1930s, the Jewish Giesberg family, who lived in Trendelburg , had to sell the house in which the synagogue was located and leave the place.
  • The landgrave's Diemelmühle was first mentioned in 1455. It consisted of an upper and lower mill, and a bread factory was integrated. The water art , which supplied the town on the mountain with drinking water, was driven by a mill wheel . The Diemelmühle is now a museum with a local parlor and café. The year-round campsite is part of the area.
Former tithe barn, today in Hessenpark
  • Landgrave's domain (1580): A rent master managed the lordly domain with 240 hectares of arable land and 35 hectares of meadows. Administration buildings and barns on the Diemel Bridge still exist. In the 1950s the lands were assigned to resettlers' farms. The tithe barn , built in 1568, was moved to the Hessenpark open-air museum (Neu-Anspach, Hochtaunuskreis).
  • Behind the mill is the well-preserved lock of the Landgraf-Carl Canal . It is part of Landgrave Karl von Hessen-Kassel's canal project . The starting point was the harbor basin on the Weser in Bad Karlshafen . The canal ran over the expanded Diemel, Trendelburg, Stammen and Hümme, the further construction of which was ended in 1730 with the death of the Landgrave. After the end of the Thirty Years War, Hesse's foreign trade was to be promoted with the waterway.
  • The moated castle Wülmersen is a manor first mentioned in 1108. It was the family seat of the von Stockhausen family , who were officials in Trendelburg and held a patronage seat . The estate had large estates that were divided up in the 1950s. The abandoned buildings then fell into disrepair until they were rebuilt by the Kassel district in the 1990s. Today there is a country museum, a group campsite and workshops for young people.
Pilgrimage Church of Gottsbüren
  • Stammen Castle : The Rabe von Pappenheim family had a family seat in Stammen since 1429. This was first converted into a castle, then into a palace. The palace complex was built in 1771 and is surrounded by a small park. The manor was behind the castle. The complex is surrounded by a well-preserved wall. In the 1960s, the castle was converted into a retirement home, and the property has been a tourist facility since the 1990s.
  • Pilgrimage Church of Gottsbüren : The Gothic hall church in the center of the town of Gottsbüren goes back to a medieval pilgrimage due to the discovery of a "Bluthostie" in 1329. The abundant flow of funds enabled the Lippoldsberg monastery to build the large church dedicated to the “holy corpse” from 1331 to 1332, in which frescoes and sculptures tell of the legend. The place was on the important trade route in the Middle Ages, the Königsstrasse. The Sababurg was built in 1335 to protect the pilgrims .
  • The ruin of the infirmary church is located southwest of Trendelburg
