Origin of the name
Origin of the name
The location was named "Nordheim im Tullifeld" in the middle ages. The prefix "Kalten-" first appeared in the 14th century, likely in reference to the relatively harsh weather in the region which can be attributed to its position south of the Neuberg Dermbach mountain range. Three other nearby towns bear the same prefix: Kaltensundheim, Kaltenlengsfeld and Kaltenwestheim. The prefix also differentiates Kaltennordheim from other towns like Nordheim vor der Rhön.
