history

Pottschach im Schwarzatal, around 1873 (recording sheet of the 3rd regional survey , center right)

Pottschach was first mentioned in a document in 1094. It is derived from the old word Botsaha or Botsach, which means "forbidden water" or "ban water". This means that the subjects were not allowed to fish. The place existed much earlier. Stone Age tools were found in the Pottschach area . In 600 AD there was a weir system on the Purgstall in Pottschach. Finds of old walls in the parish church have shown that there was a Carolingian church as early as the 9th century . This was rebuilt into a Gothic church around 1500 , and the 25 m high tower was built in 1520. In the 17th century the church was baroque .

The Pottschach castle was in the 16th century under Bernhard Ursenbeck as a moated castle built.

Pottschach was a municipality since 1864. The cadastral communities were Pottschach, Putzmannsdorf and Holzweg.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Pottschach was a popular summer resort in southern Lower Austria. This was supported by the construction of the southern railway , to which Pottschach was connected in 1842. Many summer guests either stayed in the Hotel Rabensteiner or built villas for themselves. Many of these villas are still standing in Pottschach today, testifying to a former holiday resort, the Hotel Rabensteiner has been empty for many years.
