history

Kleukheim was first mentioned in a document in 1137, when Bamberg Bishop Otto exchanged property for the basic equipment of the Sankt Getreu cell he had founded in the eastern part of the Michelsberg .

The name for Kleukheim, "Clucowa", mentioned in the document is interpreted as Slavic. Unlike in other cases, the syllable "-heim" cannot be interpreted as one of the numerous Franconian foundations of the region since the second half of the 7th century. Kleukheim was still called “Kliucave” in 1239, the suffix found its way into the place name late, that is, regardless of the founding documents. The quality of the agricultural soils obtained enabled the settlement to grow. In 1625 Kleukheim was ecclesiastically separated from Ebensfeld by the Bamberg prince-bishop Johann Georg Fuchs von Dornheim and raised to an independent parish. After the Thirty Years' War , settlers from the Franconian Forest came to the village, which until the middle of the 20th century served as a large farming village as a center in a small region. Two mills, various craftsmen and several restaurants belonged to the place.

The Bavarian original cadastre shows Kleuckheim in the 1810s as a small town with around 90 hearths around the church. The walled church was located approx. 300 m to the south, away from the town center in the parcel Die Höhe . To the east of the village, the water power of the then still freely meandering Kellbach was used to drive two mill wheels. To the north of the mill it was dammed up to form a mill pond.

In 1862 Kleukheim was incorporated into the newly created Bavarian district office in Staffelstein . The rural community belonged to the Staffelstein District Court. A part of the community was the former solitude of Peusenhof .

In 1871 Kleukheim had 514 residents and 249 buildings. The Catholic school and church were in the village. In 1900, the two places of the rural community of Kleukheim covered an area of ​​666.25 hectares, 493 inhabitants, of whom 492 were Catholics, and 101 residential buildings. 464 people lived in 97 residential buildings in Kleukheim and 476 people in 90 residential buildings in 1925. In 1950 Kleukheim had 639 residents and 95 residential buildings. In 1970 the parish village had 477, in 1987 539 inhabitants and 138 houses with 156 apartments.

On July 1, 1972, the Staffelstein district was dissolved. Kleukheim came to the district of Lichtenfels and was expanded to include the communities Kümmel and Oberküps with the district of Unterküps . On May 1, 1978, the municipality of Kleukheim was incorporated into Ebensfeld. In 1979 the village won a gold medal at the federal level in the competition “ Our village should be more beautiful ”.
