location

Kaatschen is located east of the Saale and the Berlin - Munich railway line directly on the banks of the river and north of Camburg and south of Bad Sulza . The district of the village is located on alluvial soil in the river valley and shell limestone weathered soils on the slopes. The town is connected to state road 1061 via a connecting road when crossing a river and railroad crossing to Weichau . From here you can reach the federal highways 87 and 88 . The Saale cycle path touches the village.

On the southern outskirts there is an old terraced vineyard, which is still stocked with excellent grape varieties. The other eastern slopes of the village also bear vineyards, including the “Kaatschner Dachsberg”.

history

The village was first mentioned in a document in September 1219. Kaatschen originally had its place of jurisdiction at the Rudelsburg , but it belonged with the military successes, taxes and other sovereign levies to the Wettin office of Camburg , which was under the sovereignty of various Albertine and Ernestine duchies due to several divisions in the course of its existence . In 1826, the place came as part of the Camburg exclave from the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg to the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen . From 1922 to 1939 the place belonged to the Camburg district department . The inhabitants of this place are first mentioned around 1420. From a church perspective, the village has been a parish after Kleinheringen, a branch of Saaleck, since it was first mentioned. Until 1539 the parish was Roman Catholic. With the introduction of the Reformation in Albertine Saxony in 1539, evangelical preaching was also held in Kaatschen. In the course of the structural change in the Evangelical Church in Central Germany , the parish in Bad Sulza is responsible today.

The Zahn an der Saale wine tavern

The village was always characterized by plant cultivation. The farmers and specialty businesses were at the time of the GDR to forcibly collectivised . The Thuringian winery Zahn is an example of the new economic development after the fall of the Wall . The ideal conditions, which had been used for growing wine in Kaatschen since the high Middle Ages, prompted the Zahn family, originally from Hirschroda , who had been farmers in Kaatschen from 1838, to revive it in the 1980s. In 2012 there were 150 inhabitants.

The village and its surroundings have also served as a film set for the crime series " Heiter bis tödlich ".
