Sollstedt's history stretches back to the Middle Ages, with evidence of settlements as early as the 9th century.

For centuries, Sollstedt was a major center for salt mining, contributing significantly to the region's economy.

The former Karl Marx Potash Works, a landmark mine, still stands today as a reminder of this heritage.

After German reunification in 1990, Sollstedt faced economic challenges due to the decline of the mining industry.
