geography

Geographical location

The city of Triptis is not far from the watershed between the Saale and the Weißer Elster in a flat basin open to the west. In the eastern part of this area lies the headwaters of the Orla , which is dammed to the south-east of the city to form the Triptis dam. The district of Oberpöllnitz lies at the origin of the Pöllnitzbach, the districts of Schönborn, Ottmannsdorf and Hasla are located near the source area of ​​the Roda , the district of Döblitz is in the Orlatal.

Neighboring communities

Neighboring communities are Bremsnitz , Karlsdorf , Renthendorf in the Saale-Holzland district , Schwarzbach and the city of Auma-Weidatal in the district of Greiz as well as Geroda , Mittelpöllnitz , Tömmelsdorf , Lemnitz , Miesitz , Dreitzsch , Rosendorf and the city of Neustadt an der Orla in the Saale-Orla -Circle. The city of Neustadt an der Orla only indirectly borders with the districts of Breitenhain-Strößwitz and Stanau .

history

Until the 19th century

The crossing of traffic routes - from Saalfeld through the Orlagau to the Weißen Elster near Gera and from Leipzig to Nuremberg - was probably the reason for the construction of a moated castle for the Lords of Lobdeburg in Triptis. With the relocation of a Benedictine convent to Zwickau , Triptis was first mentioned on May 14, 1212.

The place name, which is puzzling today, most likely meant "three little birds" (Tri Ptiči) in Slavic origins and may have first referred to a tributary to the Orla. An emergency note from 1921 says: "Triptis (Trepta) was built in 756 by the Counts of Arnshaug". To what extent this information is correct, however, cannot be said. As a city Triptis was first mentioned in a document on 13 October 1328 in 1367 she was awarded by Landgrave Balthasar and his brother William , the market law . In 1373 the mile, malt and brewing rights were granted by the landgraves.

The Reformation was introduced in 1527 . The town, whose advice can be traced back to the 16th century, belonged to the Arnshaugk office , then to the Neustädter Kreis and between 1816 and 1920 to Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach . The railway line between Gera and Saalfeld / Saale was opened in 1871, followed by the Oberland Railway to Ziegenrück in 1894 .

20th century

In 1907 one of the first agricultural training schools in Thuringia was founded in Triptis. From 1949 it trained state-certified farmers as a technical college , later agricultural engineers and also distance students. In 1962 the technical school became a special school for agricultural technology and was later responsible for the training and further education of foreign agricultural technicians. With the German reunification in 1990, after 83 years, the training of farmers in Triptis ended.

The Triptis porcelain factory (today located on the "Thüringer Porzellanstraße ") and Germany's first motorway service station Rodaborn , which was built from 1934 to December 20, 1936 on the A 9 , are known beyond the city limits .

During the Second World War , 128 prisoners of war as well as women and men from the countries occupied by Germany had to do forced labor in agriculture in the towns of Pillingsdorf , Rosendorf , Lubricitz and Weltwitz .

After previous light air raids , 163 tons of bombs were dropped on Triptis by the US Air Force on April 10, 1945 , resulting in 3 deaths. On February 6, 1945, a shot down B-17 bomber ("Flying Fortress") crashed near Triptis / Mittelpöllnitz , and one crew member was killed.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1950, Oberpöllnitz and Döblitz were incorporated, Hasla followed in 1956 and Schönborn and Ottmannsdorf on May 1, 1965. The last incorporation so far was that of Pillingsdorf (with Burkersdorf) on January 1, 2012.

Population development

In 1830 Triptis had 1224 inhabitants. In 1925 there were 2877, in 1933 3068 and in 1939 at least 3275 inhabitants.

coat of arms

Blazon : "In gold on a green lawn, an oak tree with green leaves and fruits, under this a nobleman who hands a goblet to a lady with a veil and a crown."

The oldest city seal, dated around 1360, shows a tree and two figures in long robes, whose gender cannot be determined. It could be a representation of Mariae Visitation . Only later did the characters change in the sense of the following episode: Dietrich the oppressed (1162–1221), later Margrave of Meissen, was on the side of Philip of Swabia during the power struggle for the German royal throne at the beginning of the 13th century, while Ottokar I of Bohemia , the husband of Dietrich's sister Adelheid , converted to the Guelph opposing party in 1198. As an opponent of his brother-in-law, Ottokar disowned his wife in 1200 and sent her back to her brother Dietrich, who handed her the welcome drink under the old oak of the Eichenberg not far from the lower gate of Triptis and granted her a stay in the castle.

Ludwig Bechstein wrote down the legend Das Wappen von Triptis , in which the married Bertha and Count Debo affirmed their love at a source. Debo, who has to travel again, is accompanied by Bertha to the very source where they say goodbye. When Debo finally returns home, he collapses dead at the spring, although Bertha scooped and handed him fresh water from the spring. He didn't have the strength to drink it anymore.

Attractions

The keep of Triptis Castle is still preserved. It is the symbol of the city and can be seen from afar. The original moated castle was supposed to protect and control traffic if necessary. In 1290 the Landgrave of Thuringia took over the castle and appointed a bailiff . Later the fortress was pledged to the bailiffs of Plauen. In the Vogtland War 1354-1358 the castle was destroyed. After the reconstruction, the ownership changed often. Repairs to the castle were necessary again in 1540 and 1775.

The round castle and manor in the Oberpöllnitz district northeast of Triptis owes its name to its unique, almost round floor plan. The castle has a small inner courtyard. On its north side there is an octagonal stair tower that gives access to various floors of the castle. The tower spire towers over the palace. The castle is part of a former manor ensemble of various residential and farm buildings in the village center, most of which no longer exist today. In 1977, the castle building was just prevented from being blown up due to severe structural defects. Since then, the castle has been left to decay and already in danger of collapsing in the 1980s. The German Foundation for Monument Protection helped since 1992 with significant resources to put the powerful slate roof, the walls and the interior ceiling repaired.

The oldest "island church" in Thuringia, which has not been used since 1813, is located in the district of Döblitz. The village church is surrounded by a rampart with a moat. With this system, the parish documented the security and protection function for the citizens.

To the northeast of Triptis is the former Rodaborn motorway service station . The Roda spring can be viewed below the building. A pedestrian bridge built in 2006 over the A 9 enables a circular route through a wooded area between Triptis and Oberpöllnitz.

Sports

Organized sport has been documented in Triptis since 1861. In 2011, therefore, “150 years of sport in Triptis” could be celebrated with various events.

With currently around 350 members (as of the end of 2013), SV Grün-Weiß Triptis is the largest sports club in the city. Football, handball, volleyball, chess and table tennis are played in nine different departments. Archery, athletics, fitness and children's sports are also available.

Bowlers, shooters, anglers, dog athletes, model pilots and motor sports enthusiasts are also active in other clubs.

Not to forget the carnivalists of the Triptiser Carneval Association, of whom at least the dance groups are to be counted among the active athletes.

Triptis has an outdoor swimming pool which was first opened on June 24, 1934. From 1998 to 2003 it was rebuilt and renovated. It was reopened on May 21, 2002. In the following years, the city also carried out further measures for improvement and expansion. Among other things, the water treatment was supplemented with a solar thermal system. Small children can now also find a pool that is suitable for them. In the last step for the time being, the entire access and sanitary wing was rebuilt.

Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

Triptis has a train station on the Leipzig – Probstzella railway line . Traffic on the Thuringian Oberland Railway branching off here , popularly known as the “Aum'sche Lydscha”, was discontinued in 1998. The section between Triptis and Ebersdorf-Friesau was leased by the Deutsche Regionalisenbahn with the aim of securing the route.

On the western edge of the city, the federal motorway 9 runs with a junction on the federal road 281 , which was moved away from the city in 2005.

The bus company PRG Personen- und Reiseverkehr Greiz runs every hour to Triptis on the regionally important bus line 40 Zeulenroda – Auma – Triptis, which connects to Greiz and Reichenbach in the Vogtland , thus enabling direct connections to trains to Dresden . KomBus operates the national bus route 44 Saalfeld – Pößneck – Neustadt – Gera. The bus routes 74 Neustadt – Lemnitz – Triptis – Wittchenstein, 75 Neustadt – Karlsdorf – Schönborn – Triptis and 78 Triptis – Schmieritz – Alsmannsdorf are only available during the week for regional development.
