history
The first written mention of the place took place in 1545 and 1550. The village is said to have been a manor in former times. In 1648 the place name was Schimbsdorf and was on the border of the Aicha dominion to the Friedland dominion , which ran along the border water and later came to the Reichenberg / Liberec dominion . It is believed that the place was a Slavic foundation and the place name comes from an owner Šimon (Shimon). At the beginning of the 17th century Schimsdorf was a large farm and belonged to Münkendorf.
During the re-Catholicization in Bohemia after the Thirty Years' War , there was a resettlement by Catholic settlers, probably from Saxony , who changed the name of the village to Schimsdorf . In 1787 Schimsdorf belonged to the parish of Röchlitz, then to the parish of Langenbruck and the children also went to school there. The place had two inns and a mill. The village in the Bunzlauer Kreis was divided until the middle of the 19th century. The largest part of Schimsdorf was inherited from the manor Aicha , the part belonging to the allodial rule Reichenberg comprised 15 houses in 1830.
After the abolition of the manors , Schimsdorf / Šimonovice formed a municipality in the Reichenberg district from 1850. Sources of income were hand weaving, agriculture, cattle breeding and work in the factories. The soil gave little and residents migrated. After 1890 Schimsdorf got its own school house with a class and a teacher's apartment. Around 1900 local residents were two thirds German and one third Czech. After the establishment of Czechoslovakia , the municipality had 221 inhabitants in 1930. After the Munich Agreement , Schimsdorf was added to the German Reich in 1938 and was part of the Reichenberg district in the Reichsgau Sudetenland until 1945 . In 1939, 152 people lived in Schimsdorf. After the end of the Second World War the village came back to Czechoslovakia and became part of the Okres Liberec-okolí. From June 16, 1945 to September 1946, the German house and landowners were expropriated in the expulsion of the Germans from Czechoslovakia and driven across the border to Zittau . New settlers from the Czech Republic took over the property. In 1961 Minkovice and Rašovka (with Bystrá) were incorporated and the municipality of Šimonovice was also assigned to the Okres Liberec . The baroque chapel of St. Laurentius in the center of the village was demolished during the period of socialism for the construction of a large cowshed in order to improve the income situation of a collective farm . In 1980 Šimonovice lost its independence and was affiliated with Dlouhý Most . Between 1986 and 1990, Šimonovice formed a part of Liberec under the name Liberec XXXIX-Šimonovice . The community has existed again since 1990.
