Demography
Translation
Since one English translation of the German verb "kotzen" is "to vomit", the town was jokingly incorrectly referred to in Ripley's Believe It or Not! under the title "Barfburg". More prosaically the name probably comes from the Slavonic-German noun "Kotzen" which means market place, as per the Theater an der Kotzen, Divadlo v Kotcích in Prague.
Personalities
Explorer Karl Klaus von der Decken was born in Kotzen in 1833.
