Trutzhain (desert)

The Trutzhain desert is a place first mentioned as Trutishain in 1294 , but fell into desolation by the 16th century at the latest , whose corridor then belonged to the district of Steina . The village passed in 1294 in an exchange of goods from the ownership of the Haina monastery to that of the Counts of Ziegenhain .

The village is located about 3.5 kilometers east of Ziegenhain , in today's district Niedergrenzebach , close to the old way of Obergrenzebach by Steina. Today there is the honorary cemetery of the prisoners of war who perished in the nearby main camp StaLag IX A in the Second World War . The field names Trutzhainer Wiese and Trutzborn are reminiscent of the submerged village.

Trutzborn, about 500 meters to the north, was a brown coal mine operated by the city of Neukirchen from 1843 to 1848 .

Start-up

The community of Trutzhain , which emerged from the local refugee camp in 1951 on the site of the former prisoner of war camp Ziegenhain after the Second World War and was populated by refugees and displaced persons, received the name of the former village.
