From 1748-1750 the poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock was employed as private tutor by relatives in Langensalza. He fell in love with Fanny, his cousin Maria Sophia Schmidt.
The physician Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland was born in Langensalza in 1762.
In Langensalza and in nearby Tennstedt sulphur springs were found in 1811.
Business in Tennstedt picked up faster than in Langensalza, so that Johann Wolfgang von Goethe went to Bad Tennstedt in 1816 in his first visit of the baths.
Today, Bad Langensalza is the main spa. There is a rehabilition clinic in Bad Tennstedt.
