History
Koldenbüttel goes back to an earlier settlement called "Büttel", which was left and colonized again 1,000 to 1,200 years ago. The name means: "Cold (in the sense of cooled, extinct) settlement." The St. Leonhardt's church was built around the year 1200 by Frisian immigrants, which were settling at Eiderstedt around 1100. At the same place had been a sacred fountain in Pre-Christian times. The village has been documented first in the year 1352. The wooden, standalone bell steeple is the oldest of its type in Schleswig-Holstein; it has been proved that the wood used was produced in 1461. The rectory was built in 1658.Townscape and culture
