history

Kaltenholzhausen was formed from the two Fronhöfe Caldenbach and Holzhausen. The Caldenbach farm is mentioned for the first time in a document from 790 and was located on the site of today's Kirchgasse. The Holzhausen farm was located near today's motocross facility. Caldenbach was destroyed in 1393 and fell desolate . Thereupon the residents settled at Hof Holzhausen. Later the abandoned settlement with the new name "Kaltenholzhausen" was taken back into possession.

The settlement belonged to Zent Hahnstätten in Grafschaft Diez and took part in the change of ownership. A separate Heimberger for the place is first guaranteed in 1412. In 1632 there was a school of its own. In addition to agriculture, viticulture and, to a lesser extent, iron ore was also used until 1616.

27 households are guaranteed for 1526, 38 households for 1612 and 125 inhabitants for 1715.

Since 1806 the place belonged to the Duchy of Nassau , which was annexed by Prussia in 1866 . Since 1946 the place has been part of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate .

The population developed in the 19th and 20th centuries as follows: 1843: 443 inhabitants, 1927: 409 inhabitants, 1964: 445 inhabitants.

Culture and sights

Sights of the village include the Evangelical Church , the motocross racing track, the deep wells of the two drinking water extraction systems for the village and the town hall of the local community, which was built on the site of the old school building from 1825. Previously, the upper floor of the bakery, built in 1829, served as the town hall.

What is striking about the rather small place is the large number of six running wells , which supplied the place with drinking water until 1910, when a water pipe was installed.

A chapel in Kaltenholzhausen is guaranteed for the year 1364. In 1895 it was demolished and a new church was built next to its old location. The organ and pulpit come from the old chapel.

In 1964 a new school was built, which served this purpose only briefly and henceforth as a village community center.
