Herleshausen
Herleshausen (German pronunciation: [ˈhɛʁləsˌhaʊzn̩]) is a municipality in the Werra-Meißner-Kreis in Hesse, Germany.
Herleshausen lies north of a section of the boundary with Thuringia in the thickly wooded area between the Ringgau and the Thuringian Forest (ranges) with the Thuringian Forest Nature Park in the southeast. It is found between the river Werra in the south and the Autobahn A 4 (Aachen–Görlitz) in the north.
Herleshausen borders on the municipal area of the district-free town of Eisenach, whose main centre lies some 12 km east-southeast. To the district seat of Eschwege to the north-northwest, it is about 22 km, and to Kassel, the nearest city, to the northwest, it is about 60 km (each time as the crow flies).
Herleshausen borders in the north on the communities of Ringgau (Werra-Meißner-Kreis) and Ifta (Wartburgkreis in Thuringia), in the east on the town of Creuzburg and the community of Krauthausen (both in the Wartburgkreis), in the southeast on the Thuringian district-free town of Eisenach, in the south on the community of Gerstungen (Wartburgkreis) and in the west on the town of Sontra (Werra-Meißner-Kreis).
The community's eleven Ortsteile are Herleshausen, Wommen, Nesselröden, Breitzbach, Unhausen, Holzhausen, Markershausen, Altefeld, Archfeld, Willershausen and Frauenborn.
In 1019, Herleshausen had its first documentary mention in a donation document in which ownership was transferred to the Kaufungen Abbey, which then held the village until Secularization in 1521. Thereafter, it passed to the Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel, who enfeoffed various lords with it.
The community found itself on a much more public stage after the Second World War when a border checkpoint between East and West Germany was built near Herleshausen. Many prisoner exchanges between the two German states took place during the Cold War at the border checkpoint, including German soldiers returning from Soviet captivity and East German citizens traded to West Germany in return for hard currency and goods.
The municipal election held on 26 March 2006 yielded the following results:
