Kaldorf is a district of Markt Titting in the Upper Bavarian district of Eichstätt .

The parish village is surrounded by fields and meadows in the southern Franconian Jura at a height of the Jura , approx. 2.5 km southwest of Titting. The next towns are Eichstätt (10 km) and Weißenburg (16 km).

The Raetian Limes ran west and south of Kaldorf. The local area thus did not belong to the Roman Empire . A small fort was located south-west of Kaldorf behind the Limes . In the course of the Limesfall up to AD 259/269, the border fortifications were cleared by the Romans and new security systems were built behind the Danube .

The place was first mentioned in 1119 in a deed of donation, in which the Eichstätter canon Burchard donated the income from Kaldorf to his church. However, historians assume that Kaldorf was established around the year 800 and that the closed, cleared settlement zone from Weißenburg to Eichstätt running from north to north and south-east in front of the Weißenburg Forest can be added.

In 1870 the spelling of the municipality name was changed: Kahldorf became Kaldorf. In 1978 the formerly independent municipality was incorporated into the Titting market as part of the regional reform .

Many stone quarries can be found in the vicinity of Kaldorf . The state road St 2228 runs through the village.

In the village is the Catholic parish of St. Andreas with the parish church of the same name. In 1964 it received a new chime with four bells.
