history

There is already an ax found from the Stone Age . A larger burial ground dates from the early Middle Ages when Slavs were settled here.

It was first in 1286 in documents mentioned when the county Vieselbach him to the city of Erfurt sold. Former names of the village: Holzhusen, Holzhusa, Winzholzen, Winde-Holzen, Windisch-Holzen. The emphasis on Wendish in the name also means that Slavs were not the rule in the villages of the area. Windischholzhausen was badly destroyed during the Thirty Years' War . In 1802 the place came with the Erfurt area to Prussia and between 1807 and 1813 to the French Principality of Erfurt . With the Congress of Vienna in 1815 it came back to Prussia and in 1816 was incorporated into the Erfurt district in the Prussian province of Saxony .

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent community of Niedernissa was incorporated.
