The place in what was then the county of Henneberg is first mentioned in a document in 1315 Atthus , Ateldeshusin , (Houses of Addaldo). Later forms of the name are Athalhusen (1340) and Odelhusen .

Adelhausen belonged to the territory of the later imperial free knights and lords of Heßberg , a noble family in the knightly canton of Rhön-Werra that had risen from the Henneberg nobility . Adelhausen initially belonged to the parish of Eisfeld and already owned a chapel, and in 1484 its own church was built with a donation from the Heßbergers. The place was dominated by agriculture, the stone carving trade was at times important, they bought their own sandstone quarry in the hallway. As a result of the Reformation in the 16th century, the population of Adelhausen became Lutheran. During the German Peasants' War , the so-called Bildhäuser Haufen , the regional union of insurgent peasants and citizens, brought devastation and looting between Easter and Pentecost in 1525. Between 1552 and 1555, in the so-called Second Margrave War , the area around Hildburghausen and Heldburg suffered through troops with heavy looting and devastation. These horrors were even surpassed by the events during the Thirty Years' War , when the feared Croatian-Hungarian cavalry troops of Johann Ludwig Hektor von Isolani invaded the upper Werra valley and systematically plundered the land between Coburg , Suhl and Meiningen in the winter quarters of 1634/1635 .
