Birthplace of a Famous Fairytale: The fairytale "The True Bride" by the Brothers Grimm is believed to be set in Finsterwalde. The story features a clever young woman who outsmarts a deceitful stepmother and stepsister [Look up "The True Bride Brothers Grimm" for the fairytale].

Industrial History: Finsterwalde has a long history of industrial activity, particularly known for its brown coal mining and glass production. The town was even nicknamed "Black City in the Forest" due to its coal mining past.
