history

Ore mining probably began in Treseburg around 1400 or earlier. In the middle of the 15th century there was already a hut with a hut ditch. After a long interruption of operations, ore mining was resumed in 1714 and continued with further intermittent interruptions until 1777. The mine was named "Braunschweiger Zeche bei der Treseburg". At the end, the mine had an extension of 280 m in length and 700 m in depth. It was pebbles and copper pebbles , and in small amounts malachite , azurite and magnetic pebbles . A tunnel still exists today . However, the section under the Bode is under water.

The place owes its origin to the iron and copper mining which operated from the 15th to the 19th century . Up to 1784, wooden rafts were also assembled here, which were transported down to the Thaler Hütte. In 1877, the Treseburg schoolhouse with a chapel was built.

On April 19, 1945, nine boys between the ages of 15 and 17 were shot in the neck by US soldiers in a forest near Treseburg from a military training camp . Together with five Wehrmacht soldiers, they were buried in a communal grave in the Treseburg cemetery by residents as "unknown soldiers". When the young people were reburied in 1951, the mayor confirmed that the cause of death was a shot in the neck. Only one of the ten boys had managed to escape.

On July 1, 2009, the previously independent municipality of Treseburg was incorporated into the city of Thale.
