 The picturesque setting attracted Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who spent a few days here in August 1790.From 1815 onwards, it was incorporated into the Prussian Silesia Province.From the late 19th century onwards, the Wünschelburg sandstone pits supplied notable buildings like the Berlin Reichstag via the new Eulengebirgsbahn railway line to Ścinawka Średnia (then "Mittelsteine").
