History
During World War II, in February 1945, a subcamp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp was established, in which some 250 men, mostly Italian, were subjected to forced labour.{{cite web|url=https://www.gedenkstaette-flossenbuerg.de/en/history/satellite-camps/porschdorf|title=Porschdorf Subcamp|website=KZ-Gedenkstätte Flossenbürg|access-date=24 October 2023}} In April 1945, surviving prisoners were sent on a death march towards the Ore Mountains.
