Geography

Treseburg lies at the confluence of the Luppbode stream with the River Bode in the Bode Gorge, southwest of Thale, at an average height of 270 m above NN.

Below Treseburg (downstream) lies the nature reserve of the Bode Gorge, through which a footpath, roughly 10 kilometres long, runs to Thale and the Rosstrappe . This footpath is closed during the winter due to the danger of rockfalls. Another path leads over the hills to the Hexentanzplatz .

History

The village owes its emergence to the mining of iron and copper in the 15th to 19th centuries. Until 1784 log rafts were also assembled here before being transported down the gorge to the Thale smelting works (Thaler Hütte).'

On 19 April 1945, this was the site of the Treseburg massacre, in which the 18th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division captured and murdered 9 unarmed Hitler Youths near the village.^[1]

On 1 July 2009 the hitherto independent municipality of Treseburg was incorporated into the borough of Thale.

Administration

Bürgermeister

The last Bürgermeister ("mayor" or "parish chairman") of the village of Treseburg was Jörg-Peter Hartmann.
