Kotzen (Havelland)

Kotzen is a municipality in the Havelland district, in Brandenburg, Germany.TranslationSince 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.PersonalitiesExplorer Karl Klaus von der Decken was born in Kotzen in 1833.
