Since oneEnglish translation of the German verb "kotzen" is "tovomit", the town was jokingly[original research?] incorrectly referred to inRipley'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.
ExplorerKarl Klaus von der Decken was born in Kotzen in 1833.
