During World War II, Germany operated a subcamp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp in the village, in which over 300 Jewish women from German-occupied Poland and Hungary were imprisoned as forced labour.[2] The prisoners were liberated by American troops in 1945.[2]
There is a train station in the village.
