In written form, the name Kutzleben appears for the first time in the 8th century in the form of Cuceslebo in a document listing the place as the property of the Hersfeld Abbey . The place name has been modified over the centuries such as Cuuslebo, Cuczeleiden, Kottenleiber, Gozzenleber and Kutzenleibin .

The oldest possessions

The name of Kutzleben appears for the first time in an Erfurt monastery document from 1120, in which Ritant de Cuczeleiben is mentioned as a witness. Since there was a Vogt at Kutzleben, the main estate at Kutzleben will have been a sovereign property as early as the 14th century. In addition to the main estate, there were also various smaller estates, some of which were owned by monasteries, others were owned by various noble families, or were in the hands of the Teutonic Order Commende Nägelstedt or the Johanniterordenshof existing at Kutzleben .

The medieval municipal constitution

An Erfurt monastery deed from 1359 provides an interesting look at the community constitution of the place and an indication of the ownership structure. The persons named in this deed may be regarded as the owners of independent settlements in the town and, as home citizens and the “College of Four”, formed the community council of the place, which was under the supervision of the sovereign bailiff and judge.
