Nägelstedt is located 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) from the core town of Bad Langensalza at the edge of the Unstrut valley.
The village was first mentioned in 977 as "Negelstete".[1] Around 1200, the Lords of Döllstedt already owned property in the village. 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. The Komturhof became the administrative centre for a number of villages within a radius of 20 kilometres (12 mi). The Order remained in Nägelstedt until its dissolution in 1809.
In the Peasants' War, the (western) upper village inhabited by free, wealthy peasants and its St Michael's Church were destroyed (as was St George's Church). 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. In the 16th to 17th century, St Michael's Church was rebuilt.
Until 1815, the village belonged to the Electoral Saxon Amt (district) Langensalza and after its cession to Prussia from 1816 to 1944 to the district of Langensalza in the Province of Saxony.
Nägelstedt was incorporated into Bad Langensalza on 1 July 1993.
