geography

history

The first documentary mention was on December 25, 1225, according to other sources in 1227 in a document of the burgrave Albert von Kirchberg. The Slavic settlement was initially called Drompnitz . There was a strong fortified castle in the village, which was sold to the Kersten family in 1375 and the Tromlitz village church was built on the remains of the building in the 17th century .

During the Thirty Years' War the village (and presumably also the castle) was almost completely destroyed. From 1631 the place belonged to the Weimar office . Also in the 17th century a small castle was built in the village, which was demolished in 1945. In the agricultural town there were three craft businesses in the second half of the 19th and first half of the 20th century. In 1884, in addition to a brewery with an inn, there was a manor and small and medium-sized farms, which, like the castle, were lost after 1945.

In 1926 154 people lived in Tromlitz, currently there are 152.

church

Today the village church stands on the old castle grounds , it was a branch of Niedersynderstedt . The church has the shape of a Romanesque choir tower church that was later extended to the east. There are suspicions that the part of the tower with the extremely strong walls was once the keep of the outer bailey. Most of the windows date from the 17th and 18th centuries. A restored small crucifix from the 18th century adorns the altar . The church also has a gilded chalice from 1574 and a small coat of arms from the 16th century. In 1969 part of the tower collapsed, so that the baroque dome was removed and replaced in 1975 by a simple gable roof.
