history

Local development

As early as the High Middle Ages there was a convoy in Itzgrund that led from Nuremberg to Erfurt . Bennendorf, which probably existed as early as the 8th century, was on the street. It was mentioned for the first time in the 9th century in the traditions of the Fulda Monastery , which are based on a copy in the Codex Eberhardi from the 12th century. There was a document mentioning it in 1227 as "Benindorf". Between 1320 and 1350 the place changed its name to Kaltenbrunn.

In the 16th century, the settlement still had two districts, Gnendorf, the Gleusdorf monastery and the larger Kaltenbrunn, where the Untermerzbach noble family von Rotenhan were the village lords as early as 1288 .

With the elevation of the Untermerzbacher Marienkapelle to a parish church in 1439, Kaltenbrunn became a parish there. In 1534 the Lords of Rotenhan introduced the Reformation . In 1675 the Merzbach line returned to the Catholic Church. As a result, a Catholic parish was founded in Kaltenbrunn in 1691 and, after the Wolfgang Chapel was demolished, a parish church was built between 1745 and 1749. From 1824 the Protestants belonged to the Gleußener Kirchsprengel.

Schleicher Brewery

The Kaltenbrunn monastery brewery, which has existed since around 1700, was bought by the innkeeper Heinrich Pfeuffer in 1890. In 1932 it passed to Fritz Feder, and in 1966 the brewing business was stopped. The Schleicher brewery with an attached inn has existed since it was founded in 1880 by the innkeeper Andreas Schleicher.

On October 1, 1913, Kaltenbrunn was connected to the railway network with the Breitengüßbach – Dietersdorf railway. It was the only line station to be equipped with a siding . The passenger traffic was stopped on September 28, 1975, on September 27, 1981 the complete shutdown took place.

In 1914 a new school building with two classrooms and a teacher's apartment was built. With the opening of a new school in Bodelstadt, the school in Kaltenbrunn was closed in 1966. The municipal administration has been housed in the building since 1980.

In 1925 the village had 54 houses and 287 inhabitants, of which 31 belonged to the Roman Catholic and 256 to the Evangelical Lutheran Church. In 1987 Kaltenbrunn had 347 residents and 94 residential buildings with 123 apartments.

The water supply started operating in 1957, followed by the construction of a sewer system. The bypass of Bundesstrasse 4 was opened to traffic in 1964. A land consolidation was carried out from around 1973 to 1985.

Between 1959 and 1969, the local Manfred Wittmann committed three murders of young women and girls in the area and seriously injured another woman. At that time, these deeds made the place well known in the national media.

On July 1, 1972 the district of Staffelstein was dissolved, the neighboring towns of Herreth and Merkendorf were incorporated into Kaltenbrunn. Since then, Kaltenbrunn has been part of the Coburg district . In the course of the Bavarian territorial reform , it lost its independence as a municipality on May 1, 1978 and, like its districts, the parish village of Herreth and the hamlet of Merkendorf, became part of the municipality of Itzgrund. Kaltenbrunn became the seat of the municipal administration.

In 2017 the settlement area of ​​Kaltenbrunn was extended to the eastern side of federal highway 4 with the construction area Kapellenfeld .
