War memorial (1914–1918) in Wahlstorf

The district lies in the historic landscape of T (h) ure. The village of Quaßlin was first mentioned in Quarcellyn around 1300 . The place name comes from the Slavic word kvasŭ for meal , i.e. Mahl (mill) place or place of the Kvasola (place of the miller)

The name Wahlstorf is derived from the Slavic locator of the village, i.e. Dorf des Val , as in Tessenow with Ort des Têšen . The name of the district Darß is derived from the Old Slavic word dračĭ for thorn bush, so Dornort .

The restaurant "Zur Ottoquelle" has existed since 1863.

The formerly independent municipality of Wahlstorf merged with the municipality of Karbow-Vietlübbe on January 1, 2014 to form the newly formed municipality of Gehlsbach.
