history

The place was first mentioned in 1262 as "Chastraffa". With the death of Philip I in 1479, the count of Katzenelnbogen ended . Their lower counties fell to the Landgrave of Hesse by inheritance. Since 1557 the area was owned by Hessen-Kassel . Already in (and before) the 16th century there was intensive sheep breeding and the fabrics woven from the wool were sold at home and abroad as particularly high-quality "Nastätter cloth". From around 1590 flax cultivation was an important source of income. The flax was also used to make cloth, which was often dyed blue. This is the origin of the name Blue Land for the area.

From 1806 to 1813 the area was under French administration. After the Congress of Vienna (1815), the region and with it what was then Casdorf was assigned to the Duchy of Nassau on the basis of an exchange contract in 1816 . As a result of the so-called German War , the Duchy of Nassau was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1866 .

After the First World War , Kasdorf was occupied until the French withdrew in 1929. The current name Kasdorf has been valid since 1937. After the Second World War , Kasdorf was in the French occupation zone and has been part of the then newly formed state of Rhineland-Palatinate since 1946 .
