history

The name Dingelstedt is derived from the word Thing and the suffix -stedt / -städt (see also Dingelstädt in Eichsfeld). He bears witness to an old German establishment at a former thing site. The village was first mentioned in the 11th century in a papal document from Goslar . At the end of the 19th century, the village experienced an upswing due to potash mining in the Mönchhai district and in neighboring Wilhelmshall. Many of the town's brick houses date from this time. The cherry cultivation and the "sugar beet barons" were also characteristic. The place has about 1300 inhabitants (1902: 1679 inhabitants) and has a historically grown town center with half-timbered houses and larger, mostly former farmsteads.

On October 17, 1928, the manor district of Dingelstedt am Huy, Forst was partially united with the rural communities of Huy-Neinstedt, Dingelstedt and Röderhof. On July 1, 1950, the previously independent community of Röderhof was incorporated.

Since the beginning of the 1960s, Mönchhai was the location of a training battalion of the border troops of the GDR .

Agriculture by the dominant cooperative and individual farms is still formative. Craft businesses, retail, a doctor and a dental practice have been preserved in the village.

On April 1, 2002, the community of Dingelstedt am Huy formed the new community of Huy together with the other ten communities of the dissolved administrative community Huy . Dingelstedt became the administrative seat of the municipality.
