history

Village pond

The place was first mentioned around 1074 as Chotizi , later the spelling of the place name changed to Kotenitz (1454) and Köttenitz (1528). During the Thirty Years War , the place was ravaged by the Swedes and burned down in 1640. Köthnitz was then divided between four owners (manors). In the 19th century, the place belonged to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach , district court district Auma, until the state of Thuringia was formed .

The village church was a branch church of Linda and, according to local tradition, dates from the 14th century; it was restored in 1826 and 1887. During the inventory of the monuments and art monuments in the 1890s, valuable wood carvings from the Romanesque period that had already been severely damaged by woodworms were discovered in the attic.
