history

View of Kaltofen

Kaltofen is a Radial-Waldhufendorf , which was probably founded as a deforestation well after 1162. Contrary to previous assumptions, Kaltofen was not one of the 800 Hufen Landes donated to the Altzella monastery . The Böhmische Steig , known as the western border of the foundation area, ran on the land border between Cunnersdorf and Ottendorf in the west and Mobendorf, Pappendorf, Berbersdorf in the east and touched the later district of Kaltofen on the eastern edge. Except for minor changes, the course corresponds to the road known today as Kalkweg .

Kaldovene was first mentioned in a document in 1297. Two citizens from Freiberg had bought the cold furnace they had been given from the knight Ulrich von Maltitz in Arnsdorf , who had got into financial difficulties, and transferred it to the Altzella monastery. Ernst Eichler and Hans Walther interpret the place name Kaldovevene as follows: "Probably a settlement at the furnace, which is no longer in operation". The assumption that it could have been a lime kiln is obvious. At least two small limestone deposits were also discovered in Arnsdorf. Remnants of a younger stove can still be seen. Maltitz, so one might assume, was not dependent on the lime from the cold kiln, had the mining stopped and the kiln "went out".

As early as the 12th century , local limestone deposits were mined in Kaltofen, probably also at that time in the neighboring communities of Arnsdorf and Berbersdorf , and processed into quicklime. In 1840 ten kilns were in operation in Berbersdorf alone.
Decaying remains of two ovens can still be seen.

After the Reformation and the associated secularization of the Altzella monastery in 1540, Kaltofen became an official village in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Nossen until 1856 . Ecclesiastically, the place has always been part of Pappendorf. From 1856, Kaltofen belonged to the Hainichen court office and from 1875 to the Döbeln administration , which was renamed the Döbeln district in 1939.

With the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the community of Kaltofen was incorporated into the newly founded district of Hainichen in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). On January 1, 1974, it was incorporated into Pappendorf. From 1990 Kaltofen belonged as a district of Pappendorf to the Saxon district of Hainichen , which was added to the district of Mittweida in 1994 and in 2008 to the district of central Saxony. On January 1, 1994, the municipality of Pappendorf merged with the district of Kaltofen with the municipalities of Goßberg , Mobendorf and Berbersdorf (with Schmalbach ) to form the municipality of Striegistal. This in turn merged on July 1, 2008 with the municipality of Tiefenbach to form the new municipality of Striegistal.

Attractions

In the north of Kaltofen is the Striegistäler landscape protection area , within which the Berbersdorf limestone quarries (Striegistal) natural monument is located, which extends into the neighboring municipality of Berbersdorf (Striegistal) . This is characterized by its lime flora , the large population of liverworts should be emphasized . Furthermore, there are baneberry , forest-Brome , Spring pea , honeysuckle and Alpine Betony . The legacies of lime mining are worth seeing, such as heaps, pings, demolition walls and the remains of lime kilns. The so-called lime holes allow a small glimpse into underground work. A former lime burner house is now used as an excursion restaurant. The area is well developed for visitors through parking spaces and hiking trails.
