Kahla, located at the foot of Leuchtenburg, is a small town with 1100 years of eventful history. Worth seeing is the old town center with the almost completely preserved city wall, the Saalewehr and the restored Ackerbürgerhäusern.

The town church St Margarethen stands in Kahla in the Saale-Holzland district in Thuringia. The city church stands on the walls of a defense complex of a castle, which was located on a 700 meter long plateau 25 meters above the Saale mirror. In 1225 a priest from Kahla was mentioned in documents. After the city fire in 1410, the church was on the ruins u.a. Building parts. 1791-1793 the town church received its present appearance. In 1906, only the access to the choir was changed. War damage originated 1945, which could be repaired only 1953-1955. The third gallery was also removed. Since 1992, the church has a new heater.

During the Second World War, at least 156 prisoners of war from France and women and men from Ukraine had to do forced labor in local companies and institutions: in the porcelain factory, in the Otto sawmill, in the Moser iron foundry, in the city administration, at the Müller & Guhlmann company and at from the Gustav Vogelsang company. In 1944/45, one of the underground armaments projects, the REIMAHG, was realized in the Kahla area. A production area of 150,000 m² was created in Walpersberg. 15,000 forced laborers were deported from their home countries to Germany for this project. The first of them were housed in the specially established Reich Labor Service Camp Kahla Th. in Kahla. The Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter was to be built in series at REIMAHG.
