history
On May 1, 1306, Kottmarsdorf, of the forest hoof type, was first mentioned in a document as "Khotdmersdorpp". In 1346 the Kottmarsdorfer local church is mentioned for the first time as a daughter of the Löbauer church. In 1550 Erasmus von Gersdorf was the owner of Kottmarsdorf. The year 1585 went down in history as the great plague year . Other unlucky years were 1607 when the plague broke out again (70 residents died in Kottmarsdorf), 1617 when a great famine ravaged the place and 1633 when the plague broke out again in the village; the bodies were buried at night in the cemetery or at home without any ceremony.
Since January 1, 1999, the originally independent village of Kottmarsdorf has been part of the municipality of Obercunnersdorf . Since January 1, 2013, Kottmarsdorf belongs to the municipality of Kottmar.
