The name "Kotzenloch" was originally "Fossenloch" in earlier centuries. In 1827, this name was changed to Kozenloch. The syllable -loch comes from the old terms "lach" or "loche," meaning "district boundary" (here between Feuerbach and Weilimdorf). In 1900, the Feuerbach Beautification Association constructed the descent from the Hornkopf. Since then, these steps have provided the best view of the rock layers of the marl pit.
