Stone marker for Hutterhäuser

The Slovene name Huterhaiser was published alongside the German name Hutterhäuser in the 1869 census, but subsequent censuses used only the German name of the settlement.^[1][4][5] In the 1869 census, the village had six houses and a population of 28.^[1] In the 1880 census, the village had five houses and a population of 37, which was 78% German-speaking.^[4] By the early 1890s, it was already forming a continuous conurbation with Kočevje as a result of growth spurred by the arrival of the railroad in 1893.^[6] A brewery was located in the village.^[7] Together with neighboring Gnadendorf, Hutterhäuser was annexed by Kočevje in 1896.^[3][8]
