On 11 September 1944 an American B-17 bomber crashed in the middle of the village during the air battle over the Ore Mountains. Its tail landed on the school building. In 1994 this was renamed after aerial gunner, Sgt. J.C. Kluttz, who died in the crash. A small museum documents the impact of the air battle on the village. A witness, then a small boy, wrote in 2011 retrospectively about the crash in 1944:
After the Second World War, the German population was driven out of the village by marauding Czechs. One of them gave the the idea for the new Czech name of the village: based on Kovář, the smith, Schmiedeberg became the Czech Kovářská.
