The history of the small town of Kottenheide goes back to the 15th century. In 1472 the place is mentioned as "uff der Kuttenheide bey Schoneck berckwerck" and in 1487 as "zu Sanct peter zur Chuttenheide". These names prove that mining was carried out in Kottenheide and that a church with the name “St. Peter “stood. The pilgrimage chapel “St. Peter ”in Kottenheide is mentioned in the 15th century. After the Reformation it fell into disrepair. The key to the chapel is still kept in the Schöneck local history museum.

Kottenheide played an important role in the mining history of the Vogtland. In 1533 the Saxon elector Johann Friedrich the Magnanimous acquired the Schönecker forests and the Kottenheide. Between 1563 and 1582, Elector August I of Saxony expanded the electoral forest holdings through acquisitions by von Planitz and von Ellefeld . A document proves that the residents of Kottenheide turned to the Saxon elector in 1566 with a request to establish a free mountain town with all the usual freedoms. However, the region around Kottenheide was unable to achieve a long-lasting and lasting harvest. Only the mining of tin, copper and iron stone experienced a brief heyday. At the end of the 17th century the mines were exhausted, only the mining of iron stone experienced an increase at this time.

In the 19th century, Kottenheide and other forest settlements belonged to the area around Schöneck, u. a. Muldenberg and state community to the Schönecker forest community . In 1834 Kottenheide had 30 residents in six houses, including a forester's house and an inn on the Oelsnitz / Vogtl road. via Schöneck and Klingenthal to Karlsbad .

Kottenheide belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Voigtsberg until 1856 . After 1856 the place belonged to the Klingenthal court office and from 1875 to the Auerbach administration . Around 1900 Kottenheide was part of the southern municipality of Zwota . On August 3, 1905, the smallest village school in the Kingdom of Saxony was opened in Kottenheide , before the 14 children of the village went to school in Mulde .

In 1906, Kottenheide was incorporated into the municipality of Mulde, a few kilometers to the north, which was renamed Muldenberg in 1934 . Both places were not directly connected by a road. Between 1920 and 1925, the Muldenberg drinking water reservoir was built between Mulde in the north and Kottenheide in the south . As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Kottenheide came to the district of Klingenthal in the Chemnitz district as a district of the Muldenberg community in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ).

At the time of the GDR there was a Johannes-Dieckmann-Heim in Kottenheide, named after the President of the People's Chamber of the GDR, Johannes Dieckmann, who died in 1969 . It was run by the LDPD , a bloc party affiliated with the SED , to whose functionaries Dieckmann belonged. This home was named "Haus am Ahorn" during the so-called Wende . After reunification, the FDP asserted that it had become part of the party assets of the LDPD, whose successor it had become. The FDP tried to turn it into an education center for the Friedrich Naumann Foundation, which was close to it. The fact that the acquisition of this property was legal in GDR times was denied by the Treuhandanstalt , which checked the assets of the former block parties for the legality of the acquisition. The property was privatized and is operated as a holiday hotel in the 21st century.

In 1956, the Kottenheide district was reclassified to Schöneck / Vogtl., With which the place came to the Saxon district of Klingenthal in 1990 and to the Vogtland district in 1996. The corridor of the place is counted as part of the Schöneck district.
