[edit] History

Körle was first mentioned in 1074 in a donation document from the Fulda monastery.

The community, as it is now, came into being as part of Hesse's municipal reforms, when the communities of Empfershausen, Lobenhausen and Wagenfurth were amalgamated with Körle on 1 February 1971.

[edit] Partnership

The community of Körle has maintained since 1991 a partnership with Floh-Seligenthal in Thuringia.
