About this picture

Kaltennordheim ( Rhöner Platt : Nurde) is a small town in the Rhön in the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district in Thuringia . It is a member and seat of the administrative association Hohe Rhön .

Origin of the name

In the Middle Ages the place was called "Nordheim im Tullifeld ". Only from the 14th century did the addition Kalten- appear, which is probably derived from the relatively cool, harsh weather in the towns of Kaltennordheim, Kaltensundheim , Kaltenlengsfeld and Kaltenwestheim , due to the unfavorable location behind the mountains in the south. In addition, the addition was probably useful to distinguish it from other places such as Nordheim vdRhön .

geography

Kaltennordheim is located in the southwest of Thuringia in the upper Feldatal in the area of ​​the Rhön Biosphere Reserve . The altitude varies from about 400  m above sea level. NHN on the border with Diedorf and 800  m above sea level. NHN in the Kaltenwestheim area ( Schafküppel ).

The urban area borders in the north on the communities Schleid , Dermbach , Empfertshausen and Wiesenthal in the Wartburg district , in the east on the communities Wasungen and Friedelshausen , in the southeast on the community Rhönblick , in the south on Erbenhausen and Oberweid and in the west on the Hessian town of Tann (Rhön ) . The Melpers district is an exclave south of Erbenhausen and directly on the state border with Bavaria .

City structure

Districts since January 1, 2019

The city is divided into the districts Andenhausen , Aschenhausen , Fischbach / Rhön , Kaltenlengsfeld , Kaltennordheim, Kaltensundheim , Kaltenwestheim , Klings , Melpers , Mitteldorf , Oberkatz and Unterweid .

climate

The climate is, as the place name suggests, relatively cool and harsh (see also the origin of the name).

The city is located in a valley surrounded by mountains, where the cold air sinks and often becomes stubborn. It is the same with the fog in the spring and autumn months. While the fog in the districts of Fischbach / Rhön and Unterweid, for example, quickly dissipates or does not appear at all, it often lingers all day in the valley of the districts of Kaltennordheim, Kaltensundheim, Kaltenwestheim and Mitteldorf. This phenomenon also contributes to the fact that the air in the valley basin only warms up slowly. The weather station of the company Meteomedia on the premises of the Kaltennordheim volunteer fire brigade regularly reports the lowest temperatures in the Free State of Thuringia and in rare cases throughout Germany on a clear night.

history

Count of Henneberg

The place was first mentioned in a document when a gift was given as "Nordheim im Tullifeld" in 795, and the place became the property of the Fulda Imperial Monastery . Kaltennordheim was located in a border region of Eastern Franconia, which was administered militarily by a margrave; whose castle was probably above Neidhartshausen . The administrative center of the Cent was in the neighboring town of Kaltensundheim . In 1145 Kaltennordheim was granted market rights. The Counts of Nithardishusen were probably related to the Counts of Henneberg , who inherited the property after they died out in the 13th century.

The Merlinsburg 1659

The construction of the Merlinsburg probably took place in the 13th century, in a time characterized by civil wars and fighting (Thuringian War of Succession). In the 14th century, the Henneberg counts were divided into several side lines, a count Berthold von Henneberg-Schleusingen acquired the Cent Kaltensundheim with Reichenhausen , Erbenhausen , Oberweid , Unterweid , Kaltenwestheim and Kaltennordheim from his cousins . In 1334 an office Kaltennordheim was mentioned for the first time . Count Johann I von Henneberg-Schleusingen († 1361), who after the death of his brother Heinrich VIII. In 1347 received Kaltennordheim with his sister-in-law Jutta von Brandenburg, transferred it with Roßdorf and Barchfeld in 1350 to the Fulda monastery . The redemption only happened by Count Wilhelm II of Henneberg-Schleusingen († 1426) in 1419.

This was followed by his brother, the contentious Count Heinrich XI. (VIII.) Von Henneberg-Schleusingen (* 1422; † 1475) (the restless). His reign, which lasted from 1445 to 1475, was marked by numerous feuds and conflicts with neighboring rulers. The Merlinsburg , a moated castle destroyed in 1634, served as the official residence .

The Peasants' War of 1525 also reached the upper Feldatal and resulted in the storming of the Zella monastery. The farmers also threatened the Merlinsburg, seat of the bailiff Tham von der Tann. A siege was quickly broken off and the farmers withdrew to Oberweid.

On October 12, 1562, Kaltennordheim was granted city rights by Count Wilhelm von Henneberg. The privileges included the right to a politically independent city administration, a city coat of arms, city law as well as own (commercial) dimensions and other provisions. The “marriage market” has been held in Kaltennordheim at Whitsun since 1563. Originally it was an ordinary goods market of supraregional importance. The farmer sons of the remote farms and rural communities used the rare opportunity to leave their farms to watch their bride and groom, which resulted in the largest folk festival in the Thuringian Rhön.

Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach

With the death of Count Ernst von Henneberg in 1583, the once mighty Henneberg Count's House became extinct, and an inheritance contract regulated the succession of the individual parts of the country. The office of Kaltennordheim and the office of Fischberg fell to the Duchy of Saxony (1547–1572) (Ernestiner). The new sovereigns abolished the existing Cent districts in 1601 and initiated the upgrading of Kaltennordheim by setting up a local court. During the Thirty Years' War , the area was repeatedly hit by raids and fighting. The period of suffering began in 1622 with troops marching through, and the plague and other epidemics were brought in. The incursion of Isolanis riders in imperial service was remembered as the climax of the suffering . The castle and a large part of the city were captured, cremated and looted on October 12th, many residents of the surrounding towns had previously fled to the city, which was considered to be safe. In 1635, the plague took away most of the remaining population and there were famines. In 1993, during excavation work on the cemetery wall, a pit with numerous skeletons was found, which was interpreted as a mass grave of plague deaths.

The official palace of the Weimar dukes built on the grounds of Merlinsburg from 1752

After the division of the county of Henneberg in 1660, the city fell to the dukes of Saxe-Weimar . After the slow rebuilding of the city, 42 residential buildings, 47 stables and 18 barns fell victim to a major fire in 1719. From 1752 to 1754, new buildings were built for the administration of the former palace, and an official prison was also built. In 1780 the Duke of Weimar visited the newly built mining facilities in Kaltennordheim. There were great expectations associated with the mining of lignite. On behalf of Duke Carl August, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was also summoned to Kaltennordheim several times as Minister of State, and in 1780 he wrote the poem “My Goddess” in his quarters. Also around 1780, Rhönpaulus was imprisoned in the tower of the castle. After deserting the Prussian army, he lived in the woods and stole from rich people to help the poor; he was handed over to the executioner.

19th century

In the 19th century, natural disasters, fires and wars again hampered urban development. After the French occupation (1806-1813), the area recovered only slowly from the economic squeezing through taxes and looting. The first typhus epidemic was brought in by the defeated Napoleonic army, the population suffered bad harvests and famine. Two major fires caused great damage in the old town in 1858, 700 people were made homeless, and the town church also burned down. In 1866 there were battles between Prussian and royal Bavarian units in the neighboring towns of Roßdorf and Wiesenthal . A Bavarian unit had previously moved into quarters in Kaltennordheim. A memorial stone by the church commemorates the victims. The company history of the Rhön brewery Kaltennordheim began with the purchase of the community brewery by Friedrich Christian Diettmar in 1875.

The largest wave of emigration took place in the Rhön in the 1870s, and the majority of emigrants decided to emigrate to the United States . Construction of the initially meter-gauge Feldabahn began in 1878. The Rhön entrepreneurs had great expectations of this new means of transport. In 1880 the railway line was inaugurated, ending in Kaltennordheim. A repeatedly requested expansion of the line with a connection to the Mellrichstadt – Fladungen railway line and the Ostheim vor der Rhön exclave belonging to Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach was assessed as uneconomical by the grand ducal administration and did not take place. A fire destroyed the town hall in 1882 and the new building was inaugurated in 1884.

First half of the 20th century

In 1904, the introduction of electrical lighting was made possible by a power generator at the Neumühle. The system, which was still prone to failure, was fitted with an additional oil motor by master tanner Dietrich and was therefore unprofitable. The first power plant was built in 1910 by the Ernst company.

In the First World War, 74 soldiers were killed in Kaltennordheim. After the end of the war, economic development was slowed down by inflation and mass unemployment. Many residents migrated to the neighboring potash mining region in the Werra valley around Merkers and Heringen .

During the National Socialist era , the population of the Rhön towns was impressed by the announcement of major economic projects and employment promotion measures. Labor camps were set up in the vicinity of the city, and the construction of roads and homesteads, such as the Marschlerhof , as well as emergency work created job opportunities. New administration buildings and residential buildings were built in many places. The conversion of the Feldabahn to standard gauge operation was undertaken and completed in 1934.

120 soldiers from Kaltennordheim were killed on the front lines in World War II or are missing. Ten Jewish families were persecuted, their businesses were expropriated and most of their relatives were delivered up for extermination. During the war, 27 women and men, mainly " Eastern workers ", had to do forced labor at the Ernst Burghard & Wagner company .

Second half of the 20th century

The effective division of Germany into four zones of occupation after the end of the war resulted in the interruption of connections between the town of Kaltennordheim, which was part of the Soviet zone of occupation, and the neighboring Hessian and Bavarian regions. The border location, which began between 1952 and 1961, was associated with the establishment of a 5 km exclusion zone. At that time, many emigrants and displaced persons were still housed in the city , the housing shortage was great despite the onset of state-sponsored construction measures (including rural outpatient clinic and school). In 1958 a barracks for the border police was built on the outskirts. Numerous residents of the city fled to the west until 1961. In the GDR era, Kaltennordheim gained importance due to its border location in the south of the Bad Salzungen district . The place was developed through the nationalization that began in 1953 and the economic concentration on the furniture industry and the Rhön brewery as well as the expansion of the basalt quarries on the Umpfen mountain. In the 1980s, the school was relocated to the castle for cultural use. The library, a registry office and a cultural center were created. In 1987 the 425th anniversary of the granting of city rights took place in the courtyard.

With the opening of the border in November 1989, a new chapter in the city's history began. As early as November 14, 1989, the mayor of the neighboring Hessian town of Tann (Rhön) arrived in Kaltennordheim as the first representative of a West German municipality . The population of Kaltennordheim had to cope with an enormous task of urban renewal and social upheaval in the following two decades.

In 1994 Kaltennordheim came to the Wartburg district and became a member and seat of the administrative association of the Upper Feldatal .

21st century

On December 31, 2013, Kaltennordheim merged with the neighboring communities of Andenhausen , Fischbach / Rhön , Kaltenlengsfeld and Klings to form the town of Kaltennordheim, whereby the administrative community of Upper Feldatal , to which all communities belonged, was dissolved. From December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2018, Kaltennordheim was also a fulfilling municipality for Diedorf and Empfertshausen .

As part of the Thuringia regional reform in 2018 and 2019 , the communities of Aschenhausen , Kaltensundheim , Kaltenwestheim , Melpers , Oberkatz and Unterweid were incorporated into the city of Kaltennordheim on January 1, 2019. The administrative community Hohe Rhön was expanded to include the town of Kaltennordheim, which is also where the administrative community is based. Kaltennordheim changed this from Wartburgkreis in Schmalkalden-Meiningen .

There was considerable resistance to the move from Kaltennordheim to the district of Schmalkalden-Meiningen planned by the state government, on the one hand from the population in particular in the northern districts of Andenhausen and Fischbach, on the other hand from the Wartburg district. Immediately after the decision of the Thuringian State Parliament, the latter submitted an application to the Thuringian Constitutional Court for an interim order. However, the Wartburg district failed with this urgent application before the Thuringian Constitutional Court.

Around 1900 more than 100 employees were already working in the company Röltsch & Co, which specialized in the manufacture of "Old German furniture". The businesses founded by Max Ernst and the Burkhard & Wagner company were also in the tradition of the municipal carpenters' guilds and were most recently taken over by Werra-Möbel-Meinigen GmbH . As a result of the reunification, industrial production collapsed.
