Kamenz According to the 1635 Peace of Prague, the Lusatias passed from the Bohemian Crown to the Electorate of Saxony. Several witch-hunts are documented in the 17th century. In 1707 a fire destroyed large parts of the old town. In 1896 Kamenz became garrison town of the "Königlich Sächsisches Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 242", part of the German 53rd Reserve Division. In World War II a subcamp of Gross-Rosen concentration camp was located in the town from 1944 to 1945, where forced labourers worked for a Daimler-Benz aircraft engine factory. The airfield northeast of the town was used by Luftwaffe "Schlachtgeschwader 2" and "Sturzkampfgeschwader 77" units.
Kamenz The Kamenz municipal area comprises the villages of Bernbruch, Deutschbaselitz/Němske Pazlicy, Gelenau, Hennersdorf, Jesau/Jěžow, Lückersdorf, Schiedel, Thonberg/Hlinowc, Wiesa/Brěznja, and Zschornau/Čornow.

Kamenz In 1225 written records first mentioned the town; Kamenz became an independent city in 1319, when Emperor Louis IV enfeoffed the West Lusatian lands to the Luxembourg king John of Bohemia. In 1346, the citizens joined the Lusatian League for protection against robber barons and to maintain public peace ("Landfrieden"). The town was nevertheless besieged and finally occupied by Hussite forces in 1429, who also devastated the nearby town of Wittichenau before they marched against Bautzen. In 1493 King Vladislaus II of Bohemia had a Franciscan monastery established north of the Kamenz town walls, dedicated to Saint Anne in 1512.
Kamenz The Kamenz citizens officially turned Protestant in 1536. In the Schmalkaldic War of 1546/47, the Upper Lusatian towns refused to support the troops of the Habsburg emperor Ferdinand I against the Protestant princes and were penalised with the loss of numerous privileges. The Franciscan convent finally dissolved in 1564.
