history

The first mention of Halsdorf was in a document dated between 780 and 802 as "Habelscendorf". At that time the village was probably just a few houses, maybe just a single homestead. The place can look back on a history of over 1200 years and is one of the oldest (proven) places in the region.

On July 1, 1970, the municipality of Wohratal was newly formed as part of the regional reform in Hesse through the voluntary merger of the previously independent municipalities of Halsdorf and Wohra.
