history

On March 22, 1333 Herges-Hallenberg was first mentioned as a formerly independent place. In the place there were mostly several territorial and political affiliations (see core city). Initially, the place belonged to the dynasty of the Lords of Hallenberg. In the 14th century, larger parts of the village belonged to the Henneberg district of Benshausen . The place, which is still called "Hergots" in 1445, had only a few Hallenberg estates. After the Counts of Henneberg died out , the place came under the joint administration of the Saxon Wettins in 1583 and was assigned to the Hallenberg office in the course of the "Benshausen Exchange Agreement " in 1619 , which came under the contract to the Hessian rule of Schmalkalden .

The place was therefore Hessian until 1866, then Prussian (Province of Hessen-Nassau) and was only assigned to Thuringia in 1944. In the time of the GDR the place belonged to the district of Suhl . Herges-Hallenberg was an independent municipality until 1978. 650 people lived in the district in 2012.
