Kirchlotheim is located about five kilometers (as the crow flies ) southwest of Vöhl, the core town of the municipality, in the valley of the Eder (at river kilometer 72.6) shortly before its influence in the western end of the Edersee . The Kellerwald-Edersee National Park , which is framed by the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park , borders the village immediately to the east. The "National Park Center Kellerwald" is close to the village. Federal road 252 leads through the Edertal directly west past the village .

history

Barrows from the Bronze Age are evidence of early settlement in the Kirchlotheim area . The place was located in the former border area between Saxony and Franconia , of which remains of old fortifications from the time between the 8th and 10th centuries, the near Burg on the oven and the Mückenburg testify. In 1240, Cistercian monks reported that a "monk's farm " was founded to the left of the Eder . For the year 1265 the building of a separate church in the "Brückengrund" is known.

The village of Kirchlotheim was first mentioned in 1233, and it was first mentioned in documents in 1359. The field name "Goldacker" still reminds of the gold search carried out along the Eder in the 17th century . Presumably Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Younger (1742–1808) from the Tischbein family of artists is said to have spent his childhood here until he was 12 years old.

On December 31, 1971, in the course of the regional reform in Hesse, the previously independent communities of Kirchlotheim, Buchenberg , Ederbringhausen , Harbshausen , Niederorke , Oberorke and Schmittlotheim were dissolved and incorporated into the new community of Hessenstein.

On 1 January 1974, the municipality Hessenstein was powerful state law with Ittertal (consisting of the former municipalities Dorfitter , Herzhausen and Thalitter ), Marie Hagen , Obernburg and Vohl for new large village Vöhl together . Local districts were established for all formerly independent communities .
