Ketschendorf is a southern suburb of the city of Coburg in the county of Upper Franconia, in the state of Bavaria in Germany.

The place is located above the mouth of the three-mile-long Ketschenbach [Ketschen Brook] at the Itz River, which originates in Seidmannsdorf.

In this document, the nobleman Sibot and his wife Hildegunt in “Chezzendorf” appropriated a Zinsgut [feudal estate] of 30 Morgen [9 hectares or 22.24 acres] of land.

On September 28, 1632, General Wallenstein during the siege of the Veste Coburg made Ketschendorf his personal quarters.

The construction of the Schloss Ketschendorf in 1804 as a summer palace for Duchess Augusta, wife of Francis, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, was followed in the 19th Century by the large number of visitors, giving this predominantly rural village an economic boom.
