Chotyně

This picture postcard from the end of the 19th century represents the idyllic valley of the Nisa-river near Chotyně. On the lower picture there are the buildings of the sanatorium and the restaurant „Zur Wartburg“ which Anton Habenicht built in 1890 at the local iron-bearing spring. After World War Two the building went to wreck and, finally, was demolished.
On this picture postcard from 1904 the area of J. B. Limburger's spinning mill in the valley of the Nisa-river is shown in the lower part there is the primary school built 1880 and on the upper left the house of the then local authority and the post-office.
