history
Gura Putnei as "Karlsberg" was founded by Bukowina-German colonists who settled there while they belonged to Austria-Hungary . It belonged to the Radautz district and was one of five purely German villages there.
Between 1790 and 1795 mainly German-Bohemian miners and skilled workers for salt extraction were settled. The German Bohemians later became known as glassblowers . Around 1800 the kk administrative authorities suggested the construction of three glassworks in Karlsberg (Gura Putnei), Althütte (Glăjăria Veche) and Neuhütte (Glăjăria Nouă). In 1803, the fourth and most important German-Bohemian glassmaking settlement was built in the municipality of Marginea : Fürstenthal (Voivodeasa).
In 1940 most of the Bukowina Germans emigrated to the Third Reich under the motto “ Heim ins Reich ” . The few remaining Germans were partly expelled after the Second World War. Today Gura Putnei is a purely Romanian village. Some preserved architectural monuments still remind of the German history of the place.
