Favorable places in the district were already settled in prehistoric times. File entries for this can be found in the Gerstunger Museum. In addition, numerous fossils were found during gravel mining in the Werraaue . Today's Igelsdorf desert , another settlement on the Werra , was built near the village in the Middle Ages . To the east of the municipality, an old road leads past in the section from Berka / Werra to Vacha - the “Hohe Straße” known as “Napoleonstraße”.
The place Dippach was given as a fief . The local castle and its predecessor changed hands several times.
In 1226 the place belonged to the knights of Heisenbach, later the lords of Linsingen . Between 1660 and 1715 it was bought by a branch of the von Boyneburg family . The place still belonged to the office of Hausbreitenbach , which was jointly administered by the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel and the Duchy of Saxony-Eisenach . In 1733 Dippach was incorporated into the Hessian office Friedewald after the Landgrave Friedrich von Hessen dropped his claims to the office Hausbreitenbach. a. received the place.

Economy and Infrastructure
Mining and industry
Around 1900, the potash salt deposits at Abteroda and Dippach were approached with enormous effort as the Alexandershall works , the Abteroda mine, partly located in the Dippach district, was abandoned in 1922 but not initially dismantled, which is why it was one of the first technical monuments in the state of Thuringia placed under protection as a mining and industrial monument. Nevertheless, the Abteroda mine was largely demolished in 2005. Only a few outbuildings have been preserved.
The Dippach mine on the road to Berka / Werra was shut down in the 1960s, the above-ground conveyor systems and the bridges and railway systems were dismantled, and buildings were converted. New businesses were established on the industrial wasteland. In 1990, the external production facility of VEB Elektrotechnik Eisenach in Dippach was taken over by TechniSat . The VEB external production facility in Dippach became TechniSat Elektronik Thüringen GmbH . It was the first company to be privately restructured by the Treuhandanstalt after the takeover . After structural changes in the parent company, the Dippach part of the business was assigned to the newly founded subsidiary Preh Car Connect Thüringen GmbH; car radios and electronics for the automotive industry are manufactured in Dippach.
traffic
The closest junction 36 of the A 4 is five kilometers away in Gerstungen. A section of the Thuringian Railway Eisenach – Bebra awaits with the nearby stops in Gerstungen, Obersuhl, Bosserode and Hönebach. Before the Second World War, this railway line was extended in the Bebra – Gerstungen section to include numerous sidings for the potash shafts in the Werra Valley. Dippach and the Abteroda mine also received such a siding, of which embankments are still detectable in the area around Dippach.
