You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.238.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:18, 2 May 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Herleshausen''' is a municipality in the [[Werra-Meißner-Kreis]] in [[Hesse]], [[Germany]].

==Geography==

===Location===
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]] [[Bundesautobahn 4|A&nbsp;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&nbsp;km east-southeast. To the district seat of [[Eschwege]] to the north-northwest, it is about 22&nbsp;km, and to [[Kassel]], the nearest city, to the northwest, it is about 60&nbsp;km (each time [[as the crow flies]]).

===Neighbouring communities===
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).

===Constituent communities===
The community's eleven ''[[Quarter (urban subdivision)|Ortsteil]]e'' are Herleshausen, Wommen, Nesselröden, Breitzbach, Unhausen, Holzhausen, Markershausen, Altefeld, Archfeld, [[Willershausen (Herleshausen)|Willershausen]] and Frauenborn.

==History==
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 Germany|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 Union|Soviet]] captivity and [[Wolfgang Vogel|East German citizens traded to West Germany in return for hard currency and goods]].

==Politics==

===Coat of arms===
The community's [[Coat of arms|arms]] might be described thus: Gules a wall embattled with two end towers with pointed roofs argent and with closed gate Or, above which a tower with a double cupola of the second.

The crenellated wall stands for the fortress church estate, which has the parish church's quire tower rising above it. The [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]]s red and silver are Hesse's state colours. The coat of arms was approved in 1954 by the Hesse Interior Ministry.

===Buildings===

====Schloss Augustenau====
After the [[Protestant Reformation|Reformation]] was introduced and Hesse's monasteries were secularized, [[Philip I, Landgrave of Hesse]] enfeoffed with the Herleshausen estate his troop leader Georg von Reckerode, who built himself the "Steinstock" palace there in 1539. After Reckerode's death in 1558, he was followed as fiefholder by the family von Wersebe, who enlarged the complex by building two wings onto it. When the Wersebes' male line died out in 1678, the palace and the Herleshausen estate passed back to  [[Charles I, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel]], who transferred it to his brother Philipp, first as a fief, and later to have as his own. Thereafter, the palace and the Herleshausen estate were held by the family Hesse-Philippsthal-Barchfeld. In 1821, the palace was given the name "Augustenau", after Landgrave Charles's recently deceased consort Auguste von Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen.

==Economy and infrastructure==

===Transport===
Herleshausen has a [[railway station]] on the ''Thüringer Bahn'' [[railway]] between Eisenach and [[Bebra]]. Here, the last [[Prisoner of war|prisoners of war]] were released after [[Konrad Adenauer]]'s visit to Moscow in 1955.

Running by the community is a section of the [[Autobahn]] [[Bundesautobahn 4|A&nbsp;4]] ([[Aachen]]–[[Görlitz]]) with its Herleshausen [[interchange (road)|interchange]]. The Herleshausen [[Rest area|service centre]] was torn down in 2005 to make way for the 6-lane expansion. There are, however, new plans to build another service centre, "Werratal", on the A&nbsp;4's south side.
