history

Kaulsdorf Castle (Saale)
church

The place was first mentioned in 1074 in a document from the Benedictine monastery in Saalfeld. The Kaulsdorfer Saalmühle was first mentioned in 1425. A castle, which is additionally protected by moats, stood on the site of the castle, which is still well preserved today. 1346 was called a settlement yard and probably meant the fortified complex. The current castle was built in 1678 on the foundations of the castle.

Originally, Kaulsdorf belonged to the county of Weimar-Orlamünde as a Wettin fief . Their Lauenstein region was assigned to the margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth under the Bohemian overlordship in 1427 and sold to the Black Burgers in 1438 and from them in 1503 to the Mansfeld-Vorderort . As early as 1506, the Mansfelds sold the place to the von Thüna people as a fiefdom for 12,000 guilders subject to the knight's arm. In 1560 the von Thüna Kaulsdorf bought those of Enzenberg (a third of the usable area), whereby a dispute arose between the Wettiners, Margraves and Mansfelders over the feudal rule of individual villages. In 1600 Lauenstein became an imperial fiefdom of Thüna, who sold it to the margraves in 1622, and Kaulsdorf became their (disputed) accessory. The estate fell in 1631 to the Streitberg , 1645 at the of Dobeneck that it in 1687 with the Könitz'schen possession that had existed since about 1370, about a quarter of the floor space united. In practice, the Wettins exercised the suzerainty from the 16th to 18th centuries. In 1776 the Mansfelders were able to enforce their demands against Sachsen-Saalfeld at the Reichshofrat . After its extinction in 1780, Electoral Saxony occupied the exclave, citing a pledge by the Ernestines from 1567, which then fell back to them in 1787 after protests by the margraves at the Reichshofrat.

After their government resigned in 1791, the exclave fell to Prussia , which also bought the estate in 1795 and sold it on to farmers and citizens in parcels. Napoleon annexed the rule of Kaulsdorf in 1806 and passed it on to Bavaria in 1810. After the German War of 1866 lost by Bavaria , Kaulsdorf was annexed to Prussia, Province of Saxony, administrative district of Erfurt, district of Ziegenrück. In 1944 it came to Thuringia, Saalfeld district, 1952 to Gera district, Saalfeld district, and with this in 1990 to the Free State of Thuringia.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Eichicht was incorporated.

From 1993 to 1995 Kaulsdorf and Hohenwarte belonged to the Saale-Loquitz administrative community . It was dissolved on October 19, 1995 and Kaulsdorf became a fulfilling community for Hohenwarte. In 1996 the municipalities of Altenbeuthen and Drognitz were also commissioned municipalities of Kaulsdorf, since the administrative community Obere Saale was dissolved.
