We propose a new method for the calculation of thermodynamic properties of one-dimensional quantum systems by combining the TMRG approach with the corner transfer-matrix method. The corner transfer-matrix DMRG method brings reasonable advantage over TMRG for classical systems. We have modified the concept for the calculation of thermal properties of one-dimensional quantum systems. The novel QCTMRG algorithm is implemented and used to study two simple test cases, the classical Ising chain and the isotropic Heisenberg model. In a discussion, the advantages and challenges are illuminated.
