Frankleben is around 1500 years old. In 300 AD, at the time of the Great Migration, the warnings came to the Geiseltal and founded places with "life". In a register of the tithe of the Hersfeld monastery , which was created between 881 and 899, Frankleben is mentioned for the first time in a document as the place of Franchenleba in Friesenfeld, which is subject to a tithing obligation .

In 900 the villages Oberfrankleben (now Müchelner Strasse) and Unterfrankleben (now Friedrichstrasse and the northern part of the pot market) were mentioned for the first time. These were assigned to the two manors Oberhof and Unterhof, which were owned by the von Bose family from 1327 until the expropriation in 1945 . Well-known landlords were the Electorate General War Commissioner Christoph Dietrich Bose the Elder (1628–1708) and the Electorate General Adam Heinrich Bose (1667–1749).

The castle was only partially inhabited until 1992 and fell into disrepair; In 2007 it was sold to Franz Pacher von Theinburg , who renovated it and in 2015 donated it to the Schloss Frankleben Foundation , in which a non-profit association and the von Bose family also participated. Today it houses a guesthouse as well as rooms for weddings, family celebrations, seminars, exhibitions, concerts, readings and dance events.

In the middle of the 19th century, the villages appeared in the historical records united as Frankleben. A change from an agricultural village to an industrial community took place from the 19th century. Up until 1815, Frankleben belonged to the Merseburg Office of Merseburg , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 . The decisions of the Congress of Vienna the place to Prussia came and was Merseburg in the administrative district of Merseburg of Saxony Province allocated to which he belonged until 1944th

In 1929 the 300 residents of the neighboring town of Runstedt were relocated to Frankleben. On July 1, 1930, Runstedt was incorporated into Frankleben and in 1931 it was excavated ( devastated ). The manor house of the Oberhof (1737–1741) was damaged in an air raid in 1944, and the ruins were removed around 1958 because of the open-cast brown coal mine. On April 14, 1945, the tower of the village church of St. Martini was shot down in American artillery fire. On July 1, 1950, the community of Reipisch was incorporated. The former steelworks Frankleben and the surrounding coal and chemical plants influenced the lives of the inhabitants until the political change. From 1993 to 2004 Frankleben belonged to the administrative community "Unteres Geiseltal".
