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