Population

Until the 19th century, the village population was mainly on the West Slavic tribe of the Sorbs / Wends. The place in the year 1842 elimination of worship in Wendish language and the beginning of industrialization in the village and its surroundings, led to a significant acceleration of the assimilation of this ethnic group. The last Wendish -speaking inhabitants died in the 1960s. To this day, still Sorbian / Wendish customs such as the Zampern, the Easter fire and the design of Easter eggs are maintained.

Due to the industrialization of the southern Lower Lusatia workers attracted from other parts of Germany in the village. After 1945, followed refugees from former German territories in Eastern Europe, particularly from Silesia.
