It was relegated to obscurity because no one could spell it.

s'Hergotenhogenbogenlogenhootensteinerdosch should be looking over its shoulder.
First, I don't know why Kitzbuhel is that much easier to spell.

Second, s'Hertogenbosch has regrettably been changed to Den Bosch.

Third, one of the reasons I like tennis (though not an especially important one) is because I like all of the lovely sounding names of players and places. Poertschach was one of my favorites in the name department, and I'm sad to see it go.
