Treseburg is a village and a former municipality in the district of Harz, in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Since 1 July 2009, it is part of the town Thale.

Geography

Map of Treseburg (1912)

View of Treseburg from the path to the Weißer Hirsch

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 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.

Coat of arms

Blazoning: "Argent, above a red bridge crenellé, a red tower crenellé, two port-holes argent, between two spruce trees vert, in base a trout gules."

("In Silber ein roter gezinnter Turm mit silbernen Durchbrüchen über eine rote gezinnte Brücke, begleitet von je einer grünen Fichte, unten eine schwarze Forelle.")

The coat-of-arms was created in 1995 by the municipal herald, Jörg Mantzsch, and entered into the approvals procedure. Approval by the Magdeburg city council was given on 1 April 1997.

Flag

The flag of the parish of Treseburg has red and silver (white) horizontal stripes emblazoned with its coat-of-arms.

gollark: I don't think any of us live close enough for avian carriers.

gollark: Actually, that seems like it would be hard and require much specialised knowledge.

gollark: I wonder if we can somehow exploit this to run APIONET at a lower level.

gollark: Oh, and fun things like the towers knowing your location fairly accurately at all times and "silent SMSes" and such.

gollark: Anyway, the phone network is a hellhole of poorly designed custom encryption, SIM cards which shouldn't exist and definitely shouldn't run Java but do (and have way too much possibly insecure onboard functionality), seemingly nonpublic standards, and modems with apioformic proprietary code doing ???.
