The village was destroyed 5. and 6. May 1945 by the SS commando under the command of Walter Hauck. There was burnt 38 houses down(from the original village are preserved only 3 houses). 25 people were murdered, some of them very brutally. It was a punishment for the fact that several young men from the village defied the retreating German troops.
