history

In the district of Sandwiese several prehistoric and early historical finds have been made near Kalt (older Iron Age and Roman architectural remains ). Kalt is first mentioned in the land register of the imperial abbey of St. Maximin Trier (2nd half of the 12th century). In the Middle Ages, various other monasteries or monasteries were wealthy in Kalt: Florinsstift , Koblenz; the Deutschherrenhaus , Laach Abbey and the Münstermaifeld Abbey . Today's St. Mark's Church is the extension (1923) of a chapel built on old foundations from 1772. According to the local history, only six out of 103 inhabitants survived the Thirty Years' War. An old religious custom is the cold Duchte-Bilchens procession on Ascension Day, which has existed since 1678. Because of a forgotten vow, smallpox is said to have broken out and especially raged among the children of the village.
