Like many other places in Upper Lusatia, Pulsnitz was first mentioned on May 19, 1225 as Polseniz. A Sorbian settlement with a moated castle had already developed here. Pulsnitz became the seat of a noble family who had a small castle built here.

The place name, which comes from Sorbian, is derived from the water body name of the same name, which Ernst Eichler and Hans Walther traced back to Old Sorbian *Połźnica, from *połz- (“to crawl”) and means something like “creeping (slow-flowing) water”.[ 2]

As the name suggests "Gingerbread Town" it's worth it for that alone.
