Traces of settlement in the place are around 8000 years old and the discovery of the Berklinger Perle shows that trade reached Berklingen as early as Roman times. Berklingen was first mentioned in a document in the year 1000 and it was probably in the long run from 300 BC. Settled. Sources report for the first time in 1226 about a church in the village.

The area around the Asse is very fertile and the land around Berklingen has changed hands frequently over the course of history. Count Konrad held a court in 1217 over goods that concerned Berklingen. Furthermore, the "von Berklingen" owned ducal fiefs. On the Mühlenberg near Berklingen, near the drinking water system, a windmill is said to have stood as early as 1500 because of this exposed location . In 1940 the last windmill in the village was abandoned.

In 1701 there was a blacksmith in Berklingen , merchants settled in the place from 1867 and a baker settled down. At the end of the 18th century, the population of Berklingen earned their living primarily in the factories in Schöppenstedt and in the Klein Vahlberg potash mine . Today's inn "Zur Post" in the village was built in 1841 from a parish widow's house .

The place is also mentioned in one of the Elm legends with its knocking spirit.
