history
The small Rundling was first mentioned in 1345 as a hospital and three years later as the manor of a Herman von der Spital . The manor ruled from the 16th to 19th centuries by the Nostitz manor. The inhabitants belonged to the Kittlitz parish at least since the 16th century , but from 1679 they belonged to the Nostitzer parish. The children from Spittel also went to school in Nostitz, where they were also taught Sorbian until the 20th century .
During the battle for the Wohlaer Berg as part of the Wars of Liberation , a field hospital was set up in Spittel at the beginning of September 1813, which Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte visited on September 5th .
