history

Kotten was first mentioned in a document in 1480, but the time of origin of the settlement is assumed to be between 1200 and 1300 at the end of the medieval clearing period. Kotten was a split from Vorst.

Around 1500 it is documented by documents that the Kotten farm was liable to the Bergisches Amt_Beyenburg . The jurisdiction of the court was subordinate to a Bergisch judge specially appointed for the Bergische Höfe in the otherwise Brandenburg- dominated parish of Halver, which often led to a dispute with the Brandenburg count actually responsible for the parish .

In 1818 six people lived in the village. In 1838 Kotten belonged to the Eickhöfer peasantry within the Halver mayor . The sound of Ortschafts- and removal table of the governmental district Arnsberg as Ackergut categorized place had at this time a house and two farm buildings. At that time, eight people lived in the village, all of whom were Protestant.

The municipality encyclopedia for the province of Westphalia from 1887 gives a number of twelve inhabitants who lived in two houses.
