history

The place name is derived from an Otto, the M in front of the actual place name was taken from the word addition "at the Otto". Motten was first mentioned in a document in 1369, became a cadastral community in 1784 and was constituted in 1850 with 124 inhabitants at the time, together with the cadastral community of Rohrbach, forming the political municipality of Motten.

A separation of the two cadastral communities, which had already been decided in 1925, was not carried out. The reason for different opinions was the different school and parish affiliations to Pfaffenschlag and Heidenreichstein. It was not until 1966 that the local council decided to incorporate Rohrbach into Pfaffenschlag and Motten zu Heidenreichstein, which took effect on January 1, 1972.

The local chapel was built in 1884 and a new fire station in 1924. In 1962, the Kollmann brothers set up a factory in the Steinbruck houses for the production of school furniture, some for export.
