history

Carlsbrunn is the youngest refugee settlement in Upper Lusatia . The village named after its founder, the Freemason Karl Gotthelf Freiherr von Hund and Altengrotkau auf Unwürde and Oberkittlitz, was built in 1763 at a fountain between Wohla and Oberkittlitz . The new settlers were evangelical religious refugees from Bohemia who lived from handicrafts. For this reason, Hund only allocated a small amount of agricultural land to the new village. The Moravian settlements served as a model , so that Carlsbrunn is criss-crossed by numerous paths and alleys. Hedges and gardens with fruit trees were laid out around the houses. A village pond was created in the center of the village and a linden tree was planted.

The original houses were single-storey and had granite door frames or a wooden door frame and double-leaf house doors. A well from 1825 has been preserved on property no.16. Carlsbrunn always belonged to the parish of Kittlitz. During the communist rule, the craft in Carlsbrunn perished and the place turned into a workers' housing estate . On April 1, 1974, Carlsbrunn was incorporated into Kittlitz. Together with Kittlitz, it was incorporated into Löbau on January 1, 2003.

As part of his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 180 in the 1880s, including 142 Germans and 38 Sorbs (21%). In 1956 Ernst Tschernik counted a Sorbian-speaking population of 3.8% in Carlsbrunn, a total of nine speakers.
