Karolinka
Karolinka, until 1951 Karolinina Huť (German: Charlottenhütte) is a small town in the Czech Republic, located about 18 km east of Vsetín. The settlement grew up around a glass factory established on territory of Nový Hrozenkov municipality in 1861. Karolinka was separated as a municipality of its own from Nový Hrozenkov in 1949. The current name, a Czech diminutive form of woman name Caroline, derives from given name of stepmother of its founder, Jewish entrepreneur, Salomon Reich.

gollark: What?
gollark: <@!221827050892296192> The Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 is from 2006.
gollark: I probably already have by using my RTL-SDR to look at pager messages. It turns out there are a lot of them here.
gollark: Weirdly, in the UK it's illegal to "[use] wireless telegraphy apparatus with intent to obtain information as to the contents, sender or addressee of a message (whether sent by means of wireless telegraphy or not) of which neither he nor a person on whose behalf he is acting is an intended recipient" because of the "Wireless Telegraphy Act", presumably even if someone is broadcasting stuff completely unencrypted.
gollark: Clearly we need space mining and nuclear fission power.
