Külmla is located west of Schöndorf on the edge of a trough-like plateau of the southeast Thuringian slate mountains between Drabatal and Plothental.

history

First settlements

The first dwellings in the place can be traced back to an originally Sorbian foundation. Other assumptions go back to the time of Celtic settlement. A possible origin in Celtic times can be cited from a sheep ditch behind the former Eißmann inn, later Geilsdorf. Sheep corridors can be derived from the Celtic word "Scor" for enclosure or fortification. It is therefore assumed that a fortified circular wall stood at the place of the sheep's pit as early as the Celtic times and that this gave it its name. It can be said with certainty that there was a small castle in the period before the Habsburg rule, this sheep's pit can be assumed to be the location.

First documentary mention

The year 1378 is considered to be the oldest documentary mention of Külmla. The spelling “zcum Kulmechene”, later also “zcum Kolmichen” or “Koylmel”, is explained from the Old Sorbian “cholm” as “mountain” and in connection with the German diminutive syllable as “to the Kulmchen”, as the small mountain . The original Sorbian name was then adopted by the German settlers and a knight's seat was created in the village to reinforce the German emigrants.

Modern times

During the Thirty Years' War troop units invaded Külmla. Among other things, on October 3, 1637, Swedish soldiers coming from Ziegenrück are said to have had a difficult time. In 1640, Swedish musketeers and horsemen lay in Ziegenruck for a long time and repeatedly plundered the surrounding villages. There were also attacks by imperial soldiers. The residents fled with their cattle into the woods in Plothental. The name "Kriegsgelänge" for a parcel at the level of the Külmlaer Flur is said to come from that time.

The Seven Years' War and the Napoleonic War also brought about marches, billeting and, as a result, great hardship, diseases and epidemics.

Prussian time

The place belonged to the electoral office of Ziegenrück until 1815 and after its assignment, decided at the Congress of Vienna , came to the Prussian district of Ziegenrück , to which the place belonged until 1945.

On September 5, 1886, five farmsteads and the dance hall burned down due to a fire that broke out during the threshing. In 1909 the first telephone was installed in the Eißmann restaurant. In 1913/14 the new road to Ziegenrück was built along the Plothental. In 1923, Külmla was connected to the power grid. The separation took place between 1923 and 1928, fields were exchanged so that small and very small parcels were combined and larger units were created. In 1929 the Külmla manor district was dissolved, so that the manor owner Golle only had the same rights and obligations as any other community member. In 1931 Külmla was connected to the Schleiz Post Office, and there has been a post office in Külmla ever since. 

After the Second World War

The Second World War ended with the invasion of the Americans on April 15, 1945. On July 2, 1945 they made way for the Red Army. On October 1, 1945, the Prussian district of Ziegenrück was dissolved and Külmla came to the Schleiz district. Külmla also had to accommodate a large number of resettlers, which was very difficult given the limited living space. This problem was solved with the establishment of apartments in some buildings of the manor. In 1970 the consumer sales point in Külmla was closed.

On January 1, 1979, the three places Schöndorf, Tausa and Külmla were merged to form the political municipality of Schöndorf .

Monuments

At the end of the village in the direction of Ziegenrück , there is a memorial for those who died in the First World War on a triangular meadow . All fallen soldiers (7) of the First World War from Külmla are listed on the board with the date of death. The triangular meadow, about 8 meters wide and 20 meters long, was created together with the monument. Originally there were two chestnuts , two blue spruces , a weeping willow and two acacias . Today only the two chestnuts are left. In 2014, the village and homeland association added two hydrangeas to the ensemble.
