Origin/meaning

Treysa was founded by the Counts of Ziegenhain close to their castle in 1229. The oldest seal is known from 1270, but is probably older. All seals of the city show the goat-eagle of the Counts of Ziegenhain, even though the city became a possession of Hessen in 1450. The colours are known since 1605.
