history

As a result of the division of the Kurmainzer area around Erfurt into new offices in 1706, the office Gispersleben was created from parts of the city bailiwick, which were previously identical with the bailiffs of Walschleben and Stotternheim.

The Amt Gispersleben was taken over by Prussia in 1802 and was under French administration from 1807 to 1813. During the time of the French occupation and the subsequent wars of liberation , the area of ​​Gispersleben suffered badly.
