history

The place was first mentioned in 1212 as Alstat . Until 1815 Ahlstädt belonged to the Henneberg or Electoral Saxon office of Schleusingen and then came to the Schleusingen district of the newly formed Prussian province of Saxony .

To the north of the village you can still see the vaulted bakeries from the late medieval clearing time of the village, which were painstakingly laid out in the form of a terrace . In the beginning of the 17th century, iron ore mines were built in the vicinity, and it was hoped that mining would provide a new source of income. In 1744 the pits "Unexpected luck" and "Christbescherung" were operated on the Steinberg. A description of the office mentions the Harz scraping as the most important occupation . The resin lumps, which had been laboriously extracted, were supplied to a pitch furnace that had been erected on site and produced around six hundredweight of tree resin (pitch) annually. The remote place had ten houses and 38 residents in 1822. In the 1950s, Ahlstädt received a pig fattening facility on the outskirts, the local farmers had previously joined the LPG. The small town had around 200 inhabitants in the 1960s. In order to alleviate supply problems with basic foodstuffs, a consumer outlet was set up.
