Trubenhausen is a district of Großalmerode in the Werra-Meißner district in northern Hesse .

geography

location

Trubenhausen is located in the geo-nature park Frau-Holle-Land (Werratal.Meißner.Kaufunger forest) . It is located between the Kaufunger Wald ( 643.4  m ) with the Langenberg ( 565  m ) in the northwest and the mountain range Hoher Meißner ( 753.6  m ) in the southeast 3.7 km east-northeast of the core town of Großalmerode, 2 km north-northeast of Uengsterode (to Großalmerode) and 3 km south-southwest of Hundelshausen (to Witzenhausen ). The federal road 451 runs through the village on the Gelster tributary of the Werra in the Großalmerode – Trubenhausen – Hundelshausen section .

geology

While more calcareous soils predominate on the surface to the south-east, facing the Hohe Meissner, there are also clear sandstone influences to the north-west, facing the Kaufunger Forest . The landscape was created by the collapse of the Gelstergraben.

history

The Gelstertal was settled from the Werra from Witzenhausen. As far as we know today , Trubenhausen was first mentioned on July 4, 1271 in a legal dispute over goods in Armsfeld near Bad Wildungen (Armbratisfelde). It was negotiated in Kassel (Cassele) before Gisco von Zierenberg (Ciginberg). The plaintiff was Eckehard von Münden (Gemunden), called rufus (the red). The defendant was Haina Monastery. Johann von Trubinhusen (Trubenhausen) is named among ten witnesses listed. (Actum in Cassele, in translatione sancti Martini anno domini 1271).

It is estimated that the settlement was built around 1000. Evidence are the ending "Hausen" and the fact that there was the Gelsterburg between Trubenhausen and Weißenbach , of which moats and foundations can still be seen today. Weir and security fortresses of this type were built between 1050 and 1150, i.e. at the time of Otto the Great and at the time of Friedrich I of Hohenstaufen (Emperor Barbarossa). In 1111, a 'stone's throw' north of Trubenhausen, the settlement Asmareshusen (Asmarshausen) is mentioned, which later remained in desolation .

From 1585 to 1623 Trubenhausen belonged to those of Berge who were resident in the Vogtei Rückerode and who exercised the sovereignty of Hesse. The place of jurisdiction was Ludwigstein, later Großalmerode, then Witzenhausen, and since 2005 Eschwege .

With the start of exports of the “Soodener Salt” and lignite on the Hoher Meissner and Hirschberg , prosperity in the community increased. The farmers had a profitable haulage business. A number of small businesses and associated service providers were founded around the haulage business.

The church was under the Archdeaconate of Heiligenstadt . It was built as a fortified church and, with its Romanesque windows, of which only one bricked up in the south wall is largely preserved, indicates that it was built around 1100. It was an independent parish in 1585 and then connected to Uengsterode until the improvement points were introduced. Thereafter Trubenhausen belonged to the parish Hundelshausen until 1756. Since then she has been the vicariate of Laudenbach .

Until 1623, when the male line of those from Berge to Rückerode died out, these served as cartridges. Whether Dietrich von Berge zu Rückerode was or is one of the last is not noted on the grave slab in the church tower because the year is missing. However, it seems certain that he was buried in the churchyard. Trubenhausen belonged to the Hessian office Ludwigstein / Witzenhausen until 1821 and then to the district of Witzenhausen . During the French occupation, the place belonged to the canton of Sooden in the Kingdom of Westphalia (1807-1813).

On 1 January 1974 Trubenhausen was in the course of administrative reform in Hesse powerful state law in the city of Großalmerode incorporated .

church

The churchyard is framed with a sandstone dry stone wall. During the renovation in 1988, a number of Romanesque window keystones with carved arches were found, which were presumably sorted out during the manufacturing work for the newer rectangular windows. The western entrance to the courtyard was originally about three meters further south than it is today.

Population development

In 1747 there were 40 households. In the meantime, in the 1990s, the population rose to around 600 as a result of the influx of German citizens from Russia and Poland.

Disasters

Due to the narrowness of the Gelstertal and the relatively large catchment area in the headwaters, the place is repeatedly hit by severe floods. The last known dates are: 1895 on June, 1909 on January 30th, 1961 on April 15th and 1981 on June 3rd. The oldest known catastrophe is a landslide on January 15, 1682. Three houses were completely flooded. 12 human lives were to be mourned. Almost three years later, on October 28, 1684, an accident claimed at least four more lives. In a chronicle of Plüger, according to the school chronicle of Trubenhausen, the following is noted: On October 28, 1684, the resident Johannes Wilhelm zu Trubenhausen, whose oath together with his wife and children, suffocated and perished in the mill covered by the sinkhole.

Mills

According to the pre-description of the special tax cadastre of the community of Trubenhausen from October 26, 1837, there were two mills. Firstly the upper mill, which was built by Nöting in 1641, and secondly the lower mill, which Joseph sold to Behrens in 1800.

The upper mill was shut down twice and changed hands several times. Since 1887 it was used industrially. First as a cement factory, then to produce waterproof paints. Later and until the end for bone utilization (fat removal). During this time the mill wheel was replaced by a turbine. The property has recently been managed as a riding stables. The water right has expired.

The lower mill has remained as such. Destroyed by fire in 1879, it was rebuilt in 1881. The owners changed twice. In 1910 it was converted to two roller mills and a shot gallery. A stationary high-performance threshing machine was put into operation. The mill is currently closed. The water right no longer exists.

Economy and Infrastructure

Former Trubenhausen station

As in the entire middle and upper Gelstertal, the soils are barren, which is why agriculture is not very productive. In the course of the haulage business, prosperity increased significantly. Modest industrialization began in the 19th century and continued into the 20th century. Mention should be made of the Spieß & Ey company with around 50 employees, the Pflüger & Sons company with up to 30 employees and the lime works with up to 70 employees. One company was terminated without replacement, the other two companies were shut down and are used elsewhere with a significantly lower number of employees.

The community built a new school from 1908 to 1910, the power supply arrived, in 1911 the drinking water source was taken and the associated water pipes were laid, the place was partially canalized. The Berlin Heerstraße, today Hauptstraße, was already paved in 1903, the Gelster and the weir were captured and built in 1934. In 1955 a swimming pool is built, ten years later the village community center. At this point, almost the entire place is canalized and most of the streets are paved or covered with a black ceiling. From around 1960 onwards, one agricultural part-time business was gradually given up. Today this source of income is only used by individual families. Farmland was turned into meadows where cows and a large number of horses graze. All houses have been connected to the public sewer system since 1975. The residential and leisure value has increased significantly, although the post office and the railways have been outsourced. In addition to the Gelstertal, the place is characterized by another three valleys. The forest extends like a bracket close to the location.

The B 451 runs through Trubenhausen and connects to the B 7 in the west and the B 27 in the north . It is about 30 minutes by car to the Kassel regional center and about 40 minutes to Göttingen .
