history

Until the 13th century, dense primeval forests stretched above Mladějovice, reaching as far as the Moravian border in the Jeseníky Mountains . In the course of colonization, new settlements emerged on the slopes of the mountains. One of them was Rietschz , first mentioned in 1295 , which, together with the towns of Malá Strana, Komárov, Krakořice and Dubčov , which were also founded at that time, belonged to the five subordinate villages to Mladějovice. At the same time, the mountain cries of that time led to gold and silver being mined in the mountains around Rietschz . However, the miners did not find anything in precious metals, but discovered rich iron ore deposits. As a result, the village has not been a purely rural settlement since its beginnings, but was also characterized by mining. In 1395 Peter von Sternberg acquired the sovereign fiefdom of Mladějovice and added it to the Sternberg dominion . From 1480 the village was called Ržicže or Ržidcže and from 1516 as alsič or bzw.iče . During the plague epidemic, which lasted from 1556 to 1558, a large part of the inhabitants died and the entire Sternberg estate became desolate and impoverished. Since the loss of population could not be compensated with Czech subjects, Charles II of Münsterberg , who had come to the Sternberg rule by marriage in 1570, brought German settlers from his Silesian possessions and the County of Glatz into the country. At the same time he promoted Protestantism. The recatholization that began during the Thirty Years War resulted in Protestants being forced to leave the country. After the death of Duke Karl Friedrich I von Münsterberg-Oels, with whom the Silesian line of the Podiebrader expired, he was followed in 1647 by his son-in-law Silvius I Nimrod von Württemberg-Oels . The dukes of Württemberg-Oels had the abandoned homesteads occupied by German farmers. The orphan book Registra wsi Rzicze , created in Czech in 1564, documents this change in population through the steady increase in German names; the last pages of the book, which was closed in 1670, are described in German. The registers were kept in Bladowitz since 1654 . In 1693 Silvius II. Friedrich sold the Sternberg estate to Johann Adam Andreas von Liechtenstein . Other forms of name were Rzicz , Rzycz (from 1599), Rzietsch (from 1636), Ritsche (1637), Rietsch , Ritsch (from 1678), Ritschium (1771) and Rideč , Rydeč , Rydeče (from 1839). In 1791, a village school was set up in Rietsch , where German was taught. Until the middle of the 19th century, the place always remained subject to the Princely Liechtenstein rule of Sternberg.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Rietsch / Rýdeč 1850 a municipality in the district administration and the judicial district of Sternberg . From 1893 the place was referred to in Czech as Řídče and since 1924 as Řídeč . In 1930 there were 263 people living in Rietsch.

According to the Munich Agreement , the community was annexed to the German Reich on October 10, 1938 and belonged to the Sternberg district until 1945 . In 1939 Rietsch had 265 inhabitants, of which 264 were Germans and one Czech who had been married in since 1936. On May 6, 1945 the 4th Ukrainian Red Army Front took the place. After the war ended, the community came back to Czechoslovakia . From June 1945 until 1947 Czechs from Moravia and Volhynia were settled. Until October 1946, the German population was transported to the Štěpánov assembly camp by trucks .

In the course of the territorial reform of 1960 Řídeč was assigned to the Okres Olomouc after the dissolution of the Okres Šternberk , at the same time it was incorporated into Mladějovice. In 1979 Řídeč was incorporated into Šternberk . After the Velvet Revolution , Řídeč broke away in 1994 and has since formed its own community.
