First mentioned in 1100 under the name Glychon, in 1182 Glychon an der Wysen (today Gleicherwiesen) and Glychon am Berg (today Gleichamberg) are referenced. Over much of history, the village was under control of von Bibra family (c.1356 - 1850). Much of the manor house still exists.
The village received the right to hold a market in 1743 and commerce flourished. Before World War I, about one third of the population was Jewish. A Jewish cemetery is outside of town.
The church, which stands somewhat in the middle of the village, was built onto the tower in 1843.
