Cottenau is a district of the Wirsberg market in the Upper Franconian district of Kulmbach .
The village is located on a hilly field, about 3 km northeast of Wirsberg on the district road KU 1 between Gundlitz and Wirsberg. Side roads lead across the desert to Schmölz and Weißenbach .
The first documentary mention comes from the year 1289. "Kotenauwe", "Kotenaube", "Kotenaw", "Kothnaw" and "Kotnaw" were named as place names. Hahn assumes its own local nobility, that of Cottenau , which was closely related to the whale pots . The local establishment is as radial Hufendorf seen, there are Waldhufendorf and a central Anger with the Dorfweiher. After the Andechs-Meranians died out , Cottenau came through the Counts of Orlamünde to the Burgraves of Nuremberg , who later became Margraves of Bayreuth . The von Cottenau family died out around 1500. The Wirsberg bailiff Sebastian von Waldenfels appeared as the new owner of Cottenau . From 1523 the Guttenberger were enfeoffed. Hospital farmers pay interest on the hospital in Kupferberg . The Vogtland family from Oberländer sat on the manor for five generations. Before it was incorporated into Wirsberg in 1971, Cottenau, Einöde and Schlackenmühle belonged to the municipality of Neufang .
Special features in the place are the Protestant Peter and Paul Church and the Cottenau Castle as the seat of the aristocracy. The castle, the church with the churchyard, its walling and the buildings included as well as a stable house are the monuments of the place. Cottenau had its own school house.
