Part of town Kirchohmfeld

The first documentary mention of the village Kirchohmfeld (Warmohmfeld, Ohneveld, Kirchenohmfelde) comes from 1217. At that time the settlement belonged to the sphere of influence of those of Bodenstein. Since 1448 Kirchohmfeld was subordinate to those of Wintzingerode which had become sole owners of the castle and the office Bodenstein in the called year. Later split to themselves these Nobility family in several lines which had possessions among other things in nobility spring (line Wintzingerode-Adelsborn) and in Kirchohmfeld (line Wintzingerode-Ohmberg). The local core is by the street fork to castle ground stone between village community centre and church. Around this area the village which had become desert about 1539 has again developed. The affiliation to the territory of those of Wintzingerode, to itself in 16th century of the apprenticeship Luthers had connected and also stuck after the counterreformation to the Protestant religion, reason is for the fact that Kirchohmfeld forms a Protestant island in the usually Catholic Eichsfeld together with Kaltohmfeld and Wintzingerode. The construction of the dwelling house on the untercourt decreases to Heinrich von Wintzingerode in Kirchohmfeld and the foundation of a free school in the same place.
 
As small common people Kirchohmfeld owns a row of places of interest, according to the rests belonging to the place of nobility spring with old gate house, the Heinrich Werner's monument as well as the Heinrich Werner's room and listed dwelling houses.
