As it is the case of other rural settlements from Suceava County, Putna was previously inhabited by a sizeable German community, more specifically by Zipser Germans (part of the larger Bukovina German community) during the modern period up until the mid 20th century, starting as early as the Habsburg period and, later on, the Austro-Hungarian period. The German community was primarily significant in Gura Putnei (German: Karlsberg).
