Kleinschmalkalden has been a district of Floh-Seligenthal in the Thuringian district of Schmalkalden-Meiningen with about 1400 inhabitants since February 1, 2006 . From 1945 to 1990 the place was named Pappenheim in memory of the politician Ludwig Pappenheim who was murdered by the National Socialists .

Kleinschmalkalden is located in the valley of the Schmalkalde , north of the town of Schmalkalden , on the southwest slope of the Thuringian Forest . Bells, small items of hardware and tools are produced here. In the GDR the place was a recognized climatic health resort.

The largest cowbell in the world is located in the village. It was built in 2003, is 3.28 meters high and weighs 920 kilograms.
Kleinschmalkalden was divided over centuries: The part to the west of the Schmalkalde was first mentioned in 1465 and belonged to the Amt of Brotterode in the rule of Schmalkalden , an exclave of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel (from 1866 to Prussia). After 1500 a settlement arose east of the Schmalkalde, which belonged to the Tenneberg Office in the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha (1640-1918) and from 1920 to the Free State of Thuringia. Because of this, there are two Protestant churches in the village: one in Hesse and one in Gotha. The two districts were united on October 1, 1945.
