In 1994, the former cemetery in the village of Paulusbrunn was relocated to a place of dignity and remembrance on around 1,800 square meters. A new memorial cross was erected and old tombstones that were found were re-erected.

The financing came from private sources of the "interest group Paulusbrunn Cemetery" and the German-Czech Future Fund in Prague. On All Saints' Day every year at 4 p.m. there is a funeral service with the blessing of graves.

The municipality was west of Tachov (note translator: Tachau) on the state border and was one of the largest municipalities in the Tachau district in terms of cadastre. The village lay on the important so-called Golden Road, which led from Prague to Pilsen and Nuremberg. This route was not only an important trade route, it was also used by the Czech kings to reach Germany. On his last trip to Kostnice (note translator: Constance) Jan Hus also drove through this road. The place name Paulsen Prunner appears as early as 1548 and refers to a little fountain that belonged to a Pavel, perhaps a citizen from the nearby German municipality of Bärnau. The first built object in Pavlův Studenec is the estate of the lord hunter, which was built here in 1681. The Theresian cadastre mentions 17 properties in the community in 1713. In 1750 the development of Pavlův Studenec was fully developed and the settlements that actually belonged to Pavlův Studenec were developed. The local people lived mainly from forest work or the glass industry. The fields here were very poor. In the second half of the 19th century, the production of mother-of-pearl buttons spread here. Button-making factories also sprung up in the region over time. In 1838 there were 84 houses in the commune, in which 662 residents lived. At the beginning of the 20th century, thanks to its location, the commune slowly became a tourist resort, which means, for example, that from the First World War there were 7 inns in the commune.

In 1921 there were 218 estates in Pavlův Studenec with 1411 residents (all except three Czechs were German nationals). After the Second World War and the expulsion of the German population, the village became part of the border zone, which was fateful for it.

Only the cemetery and the Böttger monument, which was built as a commemoration of the construction of the road from Pavlův Studenec to Zahájí, remind of Pavlův Studenec.

Like many villages in the Sudetenland, Paulusbrunn has disappeared from the map. Nevertheless, the place radiates a strange atmosphere, which is very depressing given the fact that many were expelled from their homes.
