The church of Altensalz was mentioned in 1214 as a prayer room by the Teutonic Order of Plauen . The first documentary mention of the town of Altensalz took place in a document from 1321, in which the bailiffs of Plauen transferred the ownership rights to Altensalz to the Teutonic Knights Order. The name of Altensalz and Neuensalz is derived from the salt springs on the right bank of the Trieb. The Altensalz saltworks was located on the former Kirchsteig after Gansgrün.
