Surname

The name Pottenbrunn, originally called Potilinesprunnin or Potinbrunnin, can be traced back to a settlement that was near a well and belonged to a certain Poto or Potilo. The name Wasserburg can be traced back to the castle around which the village was built.

history

The area of ​​today's Pottenbrunn was already settled in the Neolithic Age, which is proven by various finds.

The place emerged from the two originally separate and under different manorial rule places Ober- and Niederpottenbrunn, which until 1623 each had a church and a school.

Pottenbrunn was first mentioned in 890 as Potilinesprunnin. One of the two centers was probably called Wihselbrunne around 1200.

Ober- and Niederpottenbrunn were administered by different landlords. A document dated May 19, 1353 shows two seals: one from Jans von Pottenbrunn (owner of the old castle), who belongs to the Knights of Pottenbrunn, and one from Jans Alachter von Pottenbrunn. The two Jans were cousins.

The lower parish church of the Holy Cross , which burned down in 1637 and was largely destroyed by the Turks in 1683, was finally demolished in 1730. The upper church of St. Ulrich was built around the year 1000. It is today's parish church .

In 1927 Pottenbrunn was raised to market under Mayor Anton Hinterwallner (1927–1938) .

In 1972, the independent market town of Pottenbrunn was incorporated into the city of St. Pölten following a resolution by the Lower Austrian Landtag amid great protest by the population. 95% of the Pottenbrunn population signed a statement against the incorporation . The local council unanimously decided to reject it, but this did not bring the desired success.
