Kaulsdorf is a municipality in the district Saalfeld-Rudolstadt, in Thuringia, Germany.

History

The place was first mentioned in 1074 in a document from the Benedictine monastery in Saalfeld. The Kaulsdorfer Saalmühle was first mentioned in a document in 1425. [3] A castle, additionally protected by moats, stood on the site of the castle, which is still well-preserved today. [4]

Kaulsdorf originally belonged to the County of Weimar-Orlamünde as a Wettin fiefdom. Part of the area was given as a fief to the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth under Bohemian suzerainty in 1427 and sold to the Schwarzburgers in 1438 and by them to the Mansfeld-Vorderort in 1503.

Within the German Empire (1871-1918), Kaulsdorf was part of the Prussian Province of Saxony.
