On the trail of history

In over 800 years of history, the people of the town and the surrounding area have faced numerous challenges. Fire, war, the Reformation, uprisings and revolutions have also affected Kahla and left their mark. During World War II, REIMAHG was built in an underground camp in nearby Walpersberg.
