History

During World War II, in the town, Germany operated a forced labour subcamp of the Nazi prison in Zwickau,[3] and a subcamp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp.[4] About 1,000 prisoners, half of whom were deported from German-occupied Poland, a quarter from the Soviet Union, and the remainder were mostly Jews from various other countries, were imprisoned as forced labour in the latter.[5] 246 prisoners died in the subcamp, and were mostly cremated in nearby Reichenbach im Vogtland, and the remaining were evacuated in a death march, during which many also died.[5]
