history

The place name is based on the old name Chozindorf , which is supposed to designate the village of a tribal leader Chozo. The place was mentioned early in a donation from Heinrich von Plaien to the Göttweig monastery before his pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1101. Around 1200, a regional nobility appeared with the Lords of Kotzendorf: in 1168 an Alwik von Chocendorf, in 1205 a Rupert von Choscendorf mentioned. In the Middle Ages, the Zwettl , Göttweig and Melk monasteries owned the site.
In 1938 the previously independent municipality was attached to the municipality of Gars , and in 1945 it became independent again. In 1971 it became part of the market town of Gars am Kamp as part of the amalgamation of the municipalities .
