history

It was first mentioned in a document in 1378 and was initially uninhabited after the Turkish liberation. German colonists from the Mainz area were settled around 1723. From 1747 there was a strong settlement of German colonists from the Rhine region and the area around Aschaffenburg (Wiesthal, Rothenbuch). As early as 1751 there was a first blast furnace for the production of pig iron from bauxite (some of the houses that were built are still there today and are still inhabited). The place belonged to the parish Városlőd until 1752. In 1780 a Roman Catholic parish church was built.

The population census of 1930 showed 1541 inhabitants (1518 Roman Catholic, 5 Reformed, 6 Protestant, 12 Jewish). On July 2, 1868 there was a probably unique event in the Hungarian region: collective Magyarization of all German family names. (Interior Ministry Approval No. 13659)

Second World War

On March 10, 1945, the Russians marched into Kislőd. On January 6, 1948, about a third of the village population was expelled. On January 8, 1948, the deportees were brought to the Soviet occupation zone in cattle wagons , where they arrived in Pirna on January 10, 1948 . Approx. a week later, the displaced were distributed to the regions around Zwickau, Aue and Auerbach.
