View of Cârlibaba

Cârlibaba or Cîrlibaba ( German  Kirlibaba or Mariensee and Ludwigsdorf , Hungarian Radnalajosfalva ) is a place and at the same time a municipality in the northeast of Romania in the Suceava district .

history

At the end of the 18th century, the Austrian entrepreneur Karl Manz Ritter von Mariensee opened a mine in the south-west of Bukowina near the small settlement of Kirlibaba . The owner brought trained workers, mainly from the Zips (Germans) and Oberwischau ( Vişeu de Sus ), into his company and settled them in Ludwigsdorf. German-speaking workers from Upper Silesia and from settlements in the vicinity also came later .

The decline of the mine changed the main occupation of the people around 1870: miners became lumberjacks and raftsmen .

The writer Kubi Wohl (1911–1935) grew up here. He wrote in German and Yiddish.
