history

Kaltenbach and behind it the hamlet of Bleuelhausen in 1959
Parish before the merger in 1995

The place was mentioned in a document before 1300 as Kaltenbach , the hamlet of Bleuelhausen as early as 799? as Pluwileshusirum . Kaltenbach was under the rule of Wagenhausen, which belonged to the town of Stein am Rhein from 1596 to 1798. Openings date from 1491 and 1552. Ecclesiastically, the reformed Kaltenbach was always part of the parish of Burg (Stein am Rhein).

In the 19th century, in addition to grain, fruit and hemp were grown in Kaltenbach and mills were operated. The once widespread viticulture was given up in the 20th century and after 1950 arable farming also declined. In recent years, some industrial and commercial enterprises have settled here, which today, together with the recently built single-family houses, shape the townscape.
