History & character
From Water Castle to Urban District
Pottenbrunn, originally known as Potilinesprunnin or Potinbrunnin, has its roots at a spring belonging to a certain Poto or Potilo. The name Wasserburg derives from a castle around which the settlement developed. The area was already inhabited in the Neolithic period, as evidenced by various finds. The two originally separate villages of Ober- and Niederpottenbrunn, each having a church and school until 1623, became a district of St. Pölten in 1971. The settlement was first documented in 890 and underwent various administrative changes over the centuries, including being elevated to market status in 1927. The incorporation into St. Pölten in 1972 faced significant opposition from the population, with 95% expressing their disapproval. Today, Pottenbrunn is a quiet urban district shaped by its history and proximity to nature.

How much of it reaches you also depends on orientation and windows. Terrain is included, from the official elevation model out to 12 km: a mountain to the south takes the winter sun just as the house opposite does. Where the sun only grazes a ridge, the figure remains an approximation.
