history
The village was first mentioned on December 23, 795, in the Middle Ages it was called "Kaldin Sundheim". The Romanesque fortified church was built in 1495 on the highest elevation in the village.
Kaltensundheim 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 Kaltensundheim. The Counts of Nithardishusen were probably related to the Counts of Henneberg , who inherited the property after they died out in the 13th century.
In the 14th century, the Henneberg counts were divided into several side lines, and a Count Berthold von Henneberg-Schleusingen acquired the Cent Kaltensundheim with Reichenhausen , Erbenhausen , Oberweid and Unterweid , Kaltenwestheim and Kaltennordheim from his cousins . Between 1445 and 1475, the contentious Count Heinrich XI ruled . (VIII.) Von Henneberg-Schleusingen (* 1422; † 1475) (the restless) via the office of Kaltennordheim , to which the place also belonged. His reign was marked by numerous feuds and conflicts with neighboring rulers.
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 Cent Kaltensundheim fell to the Duchy of Saxony (1547–1572) (Ernestiner). The new sovereigns abolished the existing Cent districts in 1601 and initiated the establishment of a local court in neighboring Kaltennordheim. In 1615 a special office was branched off from that of Kaltensundheim for Kaltennordheim. The places remaining near Kaltensundheim now formed a district of courts, which was called the " Lichtenberg rear court". The localities: Kaltensundheim, Wohlmuthhausen, Gerthausen, Schafhausen as well as the 2 manors Ober- and Unterweimarschmiede and the farm Gereuth belonged to the same. Since 1660 the place belonged to Saxe-Weimar . He came to Sachsen-Eisenach in 1672 and to Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach in 1741 . In 1816 the back court with Kaltensundheim was taken away from the Ostheim (Lichtenberg) judicial office and transferred to the Kaltennordheim judicial office.
In 1920 Kaltensundheim came to the state of Thuringia , later to the GDR . In this the village was near the inner-German border .
On January 1, 2019, Kaltensundheim was incorporated into the city of Kaltennordheim.
