Settlement of today's equals did not begin until the 13th century, when people spoke of upper and lower equals (also lower equals). In 1312 Landgrave Otto I pawned the village of Gleichen to Count Heinrich IV. Von Waldeck ; the place was still pledged in 1346. In 1316 the Kaufungen monastery leased goods that had been given to it by Heimung von Kaufungen in Gleichen to the Gudensberg district bailiff Dieterich von Elben on land settlement rights . In 1325, a Gundrad von Venne waived its claims to goods of equals in relation to the Hardehausen Monastery . In 1329 the Lords of Elben prescribed income to the church in Grifte . The Breitenau monastery received the interest from a farm. A Berthold Terkys received a castle loan in Gleichen from Landgrave Hermann II in 1401 . 1403 Gleichen belonged to the Gudensberg office . In 1450 the squire Otto Mulnbach bequeathed a hoof to the Martinsstift Kassel . In 1545 , Landgrave Philip I enfeoffed the Lords of Buttlar with a hoof in the village, and the Buttlar extended their possessions there until 1828.
