Ketschendorf is a southern district of the Upper Franconian city of Coburg .

The village borders on the Coburg core city, the Coburg districts Creidlitz and Seidmannsdorf as well as the communities Ahorn and Grub am Forst . On June 30, 2010, Ketschendorf had 1631 inhabitants, which results in a population density of 911 inhabitants per km². The place is located above the mouth of the approximately five kilometer long Ketschenbach in the Itz , which rises near Lützelbuch . The Ketschendorfer Straße, the road connection to Coburg, was built in 1786–1794 as a country road. Before that, today's Hohe Straße had to be used.
history
The first secured documentary mention of Ketschendorf is dated to the year 1100. In the copy book of the Propstei Coburg of the Benedictine monastery Saalfeld , which is kept in the Coburg State Archives , there is a copy of the text of a document from 1100. In this, the aristocratic Sibot and his wife Hildegunt in Chezzendorf assigned interest with 30 acres of land. Ownership of the Propsteihof in Ketschendorfer Straße 77 can be verified since 1518. The core of the building was built around 1660. Over the centuries the settlement district developed along the Ketschenbach, towards the east, and in 1445 had about 60 inhabitants.
On September 28, 1632, Wallenstein set up his personal quarters in Ketschendorf during the siege of the Coburg Fortress. Two years later, General von Lamboy destroyed the whole place. The first new construction of a farm was in 1651 and it was not until 1725 that the building stock of the village was back to the size of the time before the Thirty Years War . With the construction of the Ketschendorfer Schloss in 1804 as a summer palace for Duchess Auguste , wife of Franz Friedrich Anton of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld , an economic upswing followed in the 19th century due to the large number of visitors to the predominantly rural town. In 1903 the new rural hospital was opened on the northern edge of the Ketschendorfer district . In 1904 and 1905 a cardboard box and a case factory were opened by post .
A school of their own was opened in 1902, before the Ketschendorfer school-age children had to run to Seidmannsdorf. The primary school Coburg-Ketschendorf (elementary school) is located in the school building built in 1901 in the neo-renaissance style, which later became the New Home School ; later the old building was supplemented by an attached new building with additional classrooms.
In 1910 the place had 643 inhabitants. In 1925 Ketschendorf had 81 residential buildings with 686 people, of which 654 were Protestant and 24 were Catholic. On July 1, 1934, it was incorporated into Coburg with 186 hectares of parish area and 766 inhabitants. Today Ketschendorf has the character of a suburban settlement.
Since around 1500 Ketschendorf belonged to the parish of the Evangelical Lutheran parish church in Seidmannsdorf , after 1934 to St. Moriz in Coburg and from 1969 the district has its own church, the Lukas Church. In the Catholic Church, the place has belonged to the Coburg parish of St. Augustin since the 19th century .
