Jersleben, also Gersleve and Jersleve, was first mentioned in 1144. Due to the ending of the place name in Leben , it is assumed that it was founded by the Warnings in the 5th century.
In the years 1660 and 1835 Jersleben was destroyed to three quarters in a major fire. The town's church was so badly affected by the major fires and damage in the Thirty Years' War that a new church was built from 1892 to 1893, which was consecrated by the local pastor on September 17, 1893.
At the beginning of the 1900 century there was a dry potato factory and a dairy cooperative in the village. From 1905 there was electricity in the village, which was generated by the Mittelmühle. The Melioartionsgenossenschaft as well as the tractor and threshing community emerged later. The LPG structure Jersleben was founded 1957th
