The oak posts of the western gate were found during road construction work near the village community center. You are now in the Gotha Natural History Museum .

Around the middle of the 18th century, half of the town was owned by the Secret War Councilor Adam Friedrich von Capellan , who was in the service of Hesse-Kassel and who was also head of the Hessian High Hospitals and who died in 1779.
