During World War II, in February 1941, the Stalag IV-F prisoner-of-war camp was established in Hartmannsdorf.[3] It held French, British, Soviet, Serbian, American, Czechoslovak, Belgian, Dutch, Polish, Romanian, Italian and other Allied POWs, including Polish women who fought in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944.[3] The camp was liberated by American troops in April 1945.[3]

## Economy

[edit]

The Diamant works in Hartmannsdorf are the oldest producing bicycle factory in Germany.[4] Since 2004 it has been the site for the European production of Trek Bicycle Corporation. Trek took over the Villiger-Diamant production facility which they had purchased in 2003.
