history

Wolfgang Kahl records May 14th 1366 as the first documentary mention of the hamlet / estate. Around 1500 the hamlet fell desolate. In 1573 the village was again an estate and a sheep farm . There was even a church , it was discovered later during demolition work. In 1582 a vineyard was established on the estate's land. In 1839 the estate was run as a chamber estate . 1945–1955 the property was owned by the Weimar district , then it had to be taken over by VEG Neudörnfeld.

The old manor

There are still 13 buildings without a village arrangement on a 4.6 hectare fenced property. Structural remains from the 19th century are still there. This property is surrounded by fields and a wood to the west. The place is called a settlement desert, but the fields are cultivated. In 1992 the last resident left the place. The Treuhand-Liegenschafts-Gesellschaft was unable to sell the property . In 1996, Kottenhain GbR applied for the property that it had received for supervision.

19 people live in Kottenhain again.
