History

Heustreu was first mentioned in 1057 when a Polish princess gave the village as a present to the diocese of Würzburg. The document in which this donation was certified is seen as the founding date of the village, although there might have been settlements on the soil at earlier times. The strategic importance of the village, which is situated on the confluence of the river "Streu" and "Saale", was important since ancient times. Heustreu is located on the old salt street and the nearby mountain "Altenberg" (Old Mountain) is a vantage point because the valley of "Streu" and "Saale" can be surveyed from there.
