Kötcse / Kotcse

Somogy County

This German Lutheran and Hungarian Reformed community was founded in the mid 1720’s.  The original records of the Lutheran congregation have not been located but existed up to 1745 at which time the Lutheran Church was burned down by a mob and the congregation was outlawed and placed under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic parish of Karád up until the Edict of Toleration.  The congregation was legally established after 1784 and the Church Records were begun again.
