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: Yep!
gollark: Also, I find it kind of ironic that a minimalist (well, design-wise) website ends up taking about 5 seconds to load fully, and according to my browser devtools pulls down 6MB of fonts, images, scripts and whatever else. Which is... unfortunately pretty much the standard with the internet now.
gollark: Wait, *final* book? I wonder how it's going to end up resolving everything.
gollark: Fun fact: if you put the URL between < and >, it won't display the embed.
