Nägelstedt (pronounced [ˈnɛːgl̩ʃtɛt]) is a village and a quarter of the town of Bad Langensalza in Thuringia, central Germany, with about 700 inhabitants.

[2] Nägelstedt is located 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) from the core town of Bad Langensalza at the edge of the Unstrut valley.

In 1222, the Teutonic Order, Ballei Thüringen (Bailiwick Thuringia), acquired a farm in Nägelstedt with patronage rights over St George's Church.

The Order consolidated its position in the region by developing this estate into the Nägelstedt Commander's Court.

As late as 1540, when a visitation took place on the occasion of the introduction of the Reformation, St Michael's Church and its vicarage were found to be ruinous.
