For his statistics on the Sorbian population in Upper Lusatia, Arnošt Muka determined a population of 340 inhabitants around 1885; of these, 318 were Sorbs (94%) and 22 were Germans. In 1956, the Sorbian-speaking population in the municipality was only 57.3%. Since then it has continued to decline sharply.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Wartha was incorporated.
