- Note
- "It was the scene of a small battle in the Seven Years´ War, described in a contemporary journal as follows: On 31st December 1756 a picket of Prince Heinrich´s Regiment under the command of Major Heinrich von Blumenthal, which had been sent out from Zittau to Ostritz, was attacked by 500 Croats who, notwithstanding their numerical superiority were thoroughly beaten off. The Croats got right into the town and set fire to some houses, but the fires were put out. The most serious loss on the Prussian side was the brave Major von Blumenthal, who fell right at the beginning of the action.
In recent years, the town has become known for its efforts in recycling and ecological renewable energy." - (en.wikipedia.org 23.09.2020) - Latitude
