Treysa , an independent town until 1970, has since been the largest district and the administrative center of Schwalmstadt in the north Hessian Schwalm-Eder district .
Geographical location
Treysa lies in the countryside Schwalm at Eder influx Schwalm . The old town lies on a ridge - which rises about 35 meters above the valley level ( 212 m above sea level ) - at the confluence of the Wiera with the Schwalm. For flood protection, the Treysa-Ziegenhain flood retention basin was created on the Schwalm to the east of the town center .
history
In the 8th century, Treise was owned by the Hersfeld Abbey . The Counts of Ziegenhain , as bailiffs of the abbey, took Treysa into their possession in 1186 and fortified the place. Treysa's landmark, the Martinskirche (today the Church of the Dead) , was built in 1230. Treysa received city rights between 1229 and 1270, the town hall was built around 1400, of whose medieval construction only the south-west wall with a Gothic arched frieze and cross-shaped windows in the new building from 1649 is preserved. A Dominican monastery was built on the western edge of the city before 1287 , the church of which has served as the parish church since the Reformation. The Heilig-Geist- Hospital was founded in Steingasse before 1367 , and its Gothic chapel with a gable roof has been preserved. After the death of the last Count of Ziegenhain, Johann II. , In 1450, Treysa and the entire county fell to the Landgraviate of Hesse .
In the run-up to the Peasants' War, unrest broke out within the citizenship in 1525, during which the council and mayor were deposed. Under Landgrave Moritz , Treysa was largely destroyed by fire in the Thirty Years' War after several sieges in 1640, so that only 146 of the former 460 houses remained. The subsequent reconstruction shaped the image of Treysa as a half-timbered town .
Territorial reform
As part of the regional reform in Hesse , on December 31, 1970, the two cities of Treysa and Ziegenhain merged with the surrounding villages of Ascherode, Florshain, Frankenhain, Niederbegrenzebach, Rommershausen and Trutzhain on a voluntary basis to form the expanded city of Schwalmstadt. This made Treysa a district and administrative seat of Schwalmstadt.
Garrison town
From 1961 to 2006, the Harthberg barracks east of the city center was a Bundeswehr location . The armored artillery battalion 21 and the rocket artillery battalion 22 were stationed there, both with the ability to fire nuclear warheads . The warheads were stored in the Treysa special ammunition depot east of the barracks .
religion
In August 1945, negotiations for the establishment of the Evangelical Church in Germany (EKD) took place at the Treysa church conference. This brought about a merger of the Lutheran , Reformed and United regional churches . Two other EKD church assemblies in May 1946 and June 1947 tried to initiate discussions about different views on the Lord's Supper and dealt with denazification .
Cultural monuments
traffic
Treysa is on federal highway 454 .
The Treysa station is located on the Main-Weser Railway from Frankfurt (Main) to Kassel . The Mittelhessen-Express to and from Frankfurt (Main) ends every hour in Treysa. In addition, since December 2018 an Intercity-Express (until then an Intercity ) has been stopping every two hours and a regional express on the Kassel – Frankfurt line in Treysa every hour . The Leinefelde – Treysa railway line ran through Treysa as a strategic railway line between Berlin and Metz , which was part of the Kanonenbahn . Until 1977 there was also a connection with the Bad Hersfeld – Treysa railway (also known as Knüllwaldbahn ) to Bad Hersfeld .
Various national bike paths lead through the area of the city. The German Unity Cycle Path leads through several parts of the city on existing cycle paths and those to be built . It runs from Wiera to Treysa and from here is identical to the Rotkäppchenland railway cycle path , which from Loshausen becomes part of the Mittelland route (D4) that runs across Germany . The Schwalm cycle path , otherwise identical to the Hessian long -distance cycle path R4 , leaves the shared route between Loshausen and Allendorf an der Landsburg for a few kilometers to follow the course of the Schwalm river. The highland cycle path starts in Treysa to connect the other paths with the Hessian long- distance cycle path R6 in Wohra . In contrast to the comparatively good tourist cycling infrastructure, the conditions for everyday cycling do not correspond to the current requirements in most areas, as they are, for example, set out in the recommendations for cycling facilities (ERA).
