During World War II the Germans established and operated a subcamp of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp at the local sanatorium, whose prisoners were mostly Poles.[2] In February 1945, the Germans evacuated the prisoners to the Nordhausen concentration camp, leaving only those unable to walk in the camp.[2] The prisoners remaining in the camp were liberated by Soviet troops.[2] There is a memorial to the victims of the camp in the village.
