Translation
Since one English translation of the German verb "kotzen" is "to vomit" therefore 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.
