history
Kallmerode was first mentioned in 1206 as Carmenroth . In 2006, therefore, the 800th anniversary was celebrated with a festival week from Pentecost . The ending "-rode", which can be assigned to the second Franconian settlement period between 800 and 1000 , shows that the settlement is a lot older . Around 1500 the place was desolate, but from 1539 it was resettled by the Reifenstein Monastery as a feudal lord, as the loss of feudal rights threatened. The place was initially largely spared during the Thirty Years War , but was almost completely cremated by Swedish troops in 1632 . Up until the peace treaty in 1648 there were several other looting and pillage by Swedish, Hessian , Weimarsch and imperial troops. The sovereign was Kurmainz until the secularization .
After the lost battle near Roßbach , in November 1757, the defeated and demoralized French troops camped in the Worbis area and harassed the population. The infectious diseases that were brought in at the same time led to epidemics in all places around Worbis and Dingelstädt.
With the purchase of Gut Beinrode , a model agricultural estate and castle-like building complex was created north of the village. This facility was owned by the church and also served as a country school home in the 20th century.
By the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1802 the place became Prussian and after the lost double battle at Jena and Auerstedt in 1807 it became part of the Kingdom of Westphalia . From 1815 he was again part of the Prussian province of Saxony , administrative district Erfurt, district Worbis.
According to a statistical study, the village of Kallmerode had 501 Catholics around 1840, a church had been available for them since 1756 , and 4 Protestant residents. 80 houses, 72 stables and barns, two jugs and a school were mentioned. A teacher taught the school-age 35 boys and 45 girls. Two linen looms and 35 other looms were added in the village. The overview lists two shoemakers, a tailor, a carpenter, a barber, a castrier ( pig tailor ) and two house butchers as other commercial and craft businesses . Many day laborers were doing odd jobs - including trapping and the songbird trade.
The village corridor comprised 1542 acres , of which the agricultural area comprised 753 acres of arable land, 18 acres of garden land and 15 acres of meadow. Furthermore, 130 acres of community forest and 629 acres of fallow land were named. The yield of the meadows and fruit growing was assessed as poor. The total livestock consisted of 13 horses, 83 cattle, 133 sheep, 50 goats and 71 pigs. Beekeeping was also important for the place.
Several stone quarries and gravel pits were created on the outskirts of the town for the extraction of building materials in the towns of Leinefelde and Worbis, and the fallow land there was later filled up as a disordered or wild garbage dump. Since 1949 the place belonged to the GDR . Most of the residents found work in the neighboring towns of Dingelstädt and Leinefelde, especially in the Leinefeld spinning mills. Agricultural production was continued after the forced collectivization by a cooperative, but the place itself only had a relatively small cultivation area. Since 1990 the place belongs to the re-established state of Thuringia.
The previously independent municipality of Kallmerode was incorporated into Leinefelde-Worbis on January 1, 2019. It belonged to the Dingelstädt administrative community .

Martinskirche and Kreuzweg
The main attraction in the local area is the church , consecrated to St. Martin on June 29, 1756 by the Erfurt auxiliary bishop Lasser . It replaced a previous building from the time of the Thirty Years War, which was no longer sufficient due to the increase in population. Construction began in 1753 by Abbot Simon Hentrich from the Reifenstein Monastery. At the same time, a new cemetery was laid out on the site around the church. It was restored in 1880 and the transept and apse were added. There was also a north portal and the tower. Another special feature is the arched area above the main entrance, designed by the former pastor Alfons Arand : There you can recognize Saint Martin as a helper in need, he is symbolically surrounded by eight people from all over the world (one Chinese, one Arab, one black African, one European, and one Indian Child in arms). It is a colorful work of art reminiscent of a mosaic. A way of the cross with 14 stations begins at the cave with a statue of the Virgin Mary, built in 1859 . In 1931 Pastor Drissel placed a memorial plaque for those who died in the First World War on the grotto, which was later supplemented with the dead and missing from the Second World War . The Way of the Cross leads in a westerly direction from the village along the edge of the forest to the Peter and Paul Chapel. Also in other places in the corridor are crosses and religious landmarks.
Johannitergut Beinrode
After 1729, a model estate reminiscent of a baroque country palace was built from the private farmyard in Beinrode for the former Cistercian monastery Reifenstein, only five kilometers away . The then abbot Martin Günther commissioned the Dingelstadt master builder and architect Johann Christian Heinemann for this .
In 1920 a Reifensteiner school was set up to train rural house servants in the former Vorwerk of the Reifenstein domain. When the Soviet occupation was announced, only a few teachers stayed on site and negotiated with the Soviet military administration about a new beginning. The new start was granted only on condition that the facility be nationalized. In May 1946, the state of Thuringia bought the remaining inventory of Reifenstein and Beinrode from the association. Now the lessons could be started again and continued until the final closure in 1949.
The estate was temporarily used as a country school home and has been owned by the Provincial Saxon Cooperative of the Order of St. John since 2004 . Training courses are carried out in the building complex and training places are provided for disadvantaged young people. The place is also an address as a hostel for pilgrims on the Loccum – Volkenroda pilgrimage route .

Others
Every village in Eichsfeld has a nickname with which the residents were teased by the neighboring villages. Kallmerode has two of them. The name “Kallmeröder Cuckoo” is justified by the fact that many cuckoos live in the forests of the Dün and give off their characteristic call. The community restaurant has been called "Zum Kuckuck" for many years.
The nickname “Kallmeröder Spatzenfärber” comes from around 1850. At that time, many villagers made a living from bird breeding. The breeds were sold by the men all over Germany and many parts of Europe. Evil tongues claim that common sparrows were also "refined" by coloring them into canaries . Incidentally, the same story is told about the village of Zuffenhausen near Stuttgart , and the inhabitants are also nicknamed “Sparrow Dyers”. About 70 years ago there were 32 bird breeders in the village. On Anger of the community, a bronze statue was erected, which the sparrows dyer with his Reff represents.
