History
First mentioned in 1364 under the name Rychenwald [3] .
The population of the village increased significantly after World War II during the development of nearby brown coal deposits and reached its maximum in the 1960s. After the unification of Germany in 1991, some coal mines were closed and the population fell to the level of the beginning of the 19th century.
Since 1999, it has been part of the modern commune of Boxberg [4] .
Currently, the village is part of the cultural and territorial autonomy of the “ Luzhitsky Settlement Region ”, on the territory of which there are legislative acts of the lands of Saxony and Brandenburg, contributing to the preservation of the Luzhitsky languages and the culture of Luzhic [5] [6] .
