history

Stahle was first mentioned in a document under the name Stalo or Stela in the 9th century as part of a donation to the Corvey monastery . Stahle was completely destroyed in 1632 during the Thirty Years War and rebuilt in the following years. Belonged to the parish of Albaxen until 1669 , Stahle formed its own parish on November 29, 1669. The church, built in 1697, was demolished in 1963 and replaced by the new building completed in 1964. The town is still characterized by old half-timbered buildings, the oldest dating from 1668. In the Seven Years' War, French troops set up camp in the town in 1757 and attacked Stahle again on September 23, 1761.

In the course of the local reorganization , Stahle was incorporated into Höxter on January 1, 1970 and thus ceased to exist as an independent political municipality.
