Kemmaten is located about five kilometers southwest of Neustadt at the foot of the Kemmater mountain, which is about one hundred meters higher. Communal roads lead through the town to Haarbrücken and Boderndorf .

history

Kemmaten was first mentioned in 1157 in an exchange document. At that time, Count Hermann von Wohlsbach gave the Banz monastery property in Welchendorf and received a farm in "Cheminate" and ten pounds of silver. However, the certificate is considered forged.

The place got its name from the construction of a stately home. The Old High German “cheminata” was initially understood to be a room with a fireplace and later also a solid, stone house with a heating system.

The village was the seat of the noble von Kemmaten family . Since the late Middle Ages , no members of the noble family, which died out in 1600, lived in Kemmaten. In 1501 there were six estates in the place. Before the Thirty Years' War eight men fit for military service lived in Kemmaten; in 1630 there were four.

Kemmaten has been part of the Fechheim parish since the Middle Ages . In the first half of the 19th century, the children went to a prep school in Wellmersdorf . In June 1860 a schoolhouse was inaugurated there for the children of the communities of Wellmersdorf , Boderndorf, Kemmaten and Birkig . From 1965 the upper school students had to go to school in Neustadt, from 1971 all students.

In a referendum on November 30, 1919, two Kemmaten citizens voted for the Free State of Coburg to join the Thuringian state and 29 against. Thus, from July 1, 1920, Kemmaten belonged to the Free State of Bavaria .

In the Reichstag election of March 5, 1933 , the NSDAP received 40 votes out of a total of 46 in Kemmaten.

In the First World War, lost seven and in the Second World War five Kemmatener soldiers their lives.

On January 1, 1971, Kemmaten was incorporated into Haarbrücken. On May 1, 1978, Haarbrücken were incorporated into Neustadt and Kemmaten became a district of the large district town.

The drinking water supply used to be through house and running wells. A community-owned system with house connections existed from 1935. After 1967, the water supply was provided by the Spittelsteiner Group, which was taken over in 1986 by the Neustadt municipal utilities. From 1922 the electricity supplier was the overland plant of the Gumpertschen mill in Mupperg and from February 1935 the Bamberg overland plant in Upper Franconia. In 1997 Stadtwerke Neustadt took over the power supply. In 1987 Kemmaten had 17 residential buildings, six of which were built after 1949.
