history

According to legend, a settler named Engilhart is said to have built a farm in the valley of the Engelsdorfer Bach in 1250. Engilsdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1340. The oldest information about the Church of St. Anna can be found in 1464 in the Seidenberg town book. Various Lusatian nobles took turns as owners of the Engelsdorf feudal estate. From 1454 Hans von Wiedebach and from 1500 Heinrich von Schwanitz belonged to them. In 1530 the Lords of Schwanitz exchanged the estate with Wolf von Weigsdorf and his brothers Kaspar and Nickel von Reibersdorf for Niederweigsdorf . On January 27, 1551, the Lords of Weigsdorf sold the estate to Friedrich von Döbschütz , who leased it to Ferdinand von Metzerad in Herwigsdorf. At the beginning of the 17th century, Katharina von Redern acquired the estate, and in 1603 she sold it to Adam von Schweinichen for 6,000 thalers . In 1610 his sons Abraham, David, Adam and Georg as well as the daughters Helene and Magdalene inherited the property. Since 1651 the Engelsdorf estate has belonged to Hans Gregor von Schweinichen, who sold it to Anton Pankraz von Gallas in 1670 for 2000 guilders. He struck the property of his rule Friedland . The following landlords were from 1674 Franz Ferdinand von Gallas , from 1697 his sons Philipp Franz and Johann Wenzel . Since the latter, like his brother, who had died before, had no male descendants, his important property fell to his nephew Christian Philipp Freiherr von Clam with the stipulation that the name and coat of arms of Count Gallas should be continued, thus creating the Clam-Gallas family . From 1805 the estate belonged to his son Christian Christoph Clam-Gallas .

In 1832 Engelsdorf consisted of 84 houses with 552 German-speaking residents. Under the magisterial patronage the parish stood meadow allocated Catholic branch church of St. Anna and the school. In the village there was a manorial farm with a sheep farm. Engelsdorf was the pastor for Zahne and Lautsche. In 1838 Eduard Clam-Gallas inherited the estate. As a companion of the Empress in southern England during a fox hunt, he got to know William Stone, who entered his service and was finally responsible for the Count's 140 horses as stable master in Friedland. Until the middle of the 19th century, Engelsdorf remained subject to the allodial rule of Friedland .

After the abolition of patrimonial Engelsdorf formed from 1850 with the districts Lautsche , Zahne and Philippsthal a community Engelsdorf in the Bunzlauer Kreis and judicial district Friedland . At the same time, the three districts were combined with Engelsdorf to form a cadastral community. In 1866 Eduard Clam-Gallas leased the Engelsdorf estate to his stable master Carl Heinrich ( Charles ) Stone, a son of William Stone. From 1868 Engelsdorf belonged to the Friedland district . After the establishment of Czechoslovakia , the Engelsdorf estate belonging to Franz Clam-Gallas was nationalized in 1920 and sold to František and Růžena Rataj in 1926.

In 1930 the community had 906 inhabitants. In 1934 a Czech minority school was opened in Villa Stone. After the Munich Agreement , it was incorporated into the German Reich in 1938; until 1945 Engelsdorf belonged to the Friedland district . In 1939 there were 783 people living in the community. After the end of the Second World War, Engelsdorf returned to Czechoslovakia, and the Czechoslovak army gave the community the unofficial Czech name Andělov. In October 1946, Engelsdorf was officially renamed Andělka. The Czech family Rataj, which had been expropriated by the German occupiers in 1938 and expelled to the "remaining Czech Republic", received the property back in 1945; In 1948 it was again expropriated by the communists. In 1946 and 1947, most of the German-Bohemian residents were expelled. In the course of the dissolution of the Okres Frýdlant, the village was assigned to the Okres Liberec in 1960. On July 1, 1980 Andělka and its districts were incorporated into Višňová . After the Velvet Revolution, in early 1990 efforts were made to form a community of their own. After collecting signatures, a referendum on the separation of Višňová was announced at a residents' meeting, but it was not carried out. In the 1990s, a border crossing for pedestrians and cyclists was opened between Andělka and Lutogniewice; there is no road connection to Poland.

In 1991 Andělka had 193 inhabitants. In 2001 the village consisted of 72 houses in which 185 people lived. In total, Andělka consists of 88 houses. In July 2002 the CzechTek took place at Andělka .

Local division

In addition to Andělka, the Andělka cadastral district also includes the villages of Filipovka, Loučná and Saň.

Attractions

  • Church of St. Anna. It was built between 1783 and 1785 at the instigation of Philipp Christian Clam-Gallas instead of a wooden previous building that was in danger of collapsing. The foundation stone was laid on May 9, 1783. The builder was the master bricklayer Franz Thum from Friedland. The altarpiece is by Gabriel Ambrosius Donath . The pulpit and other wood carvings come from the woodcarver Suske from Niemes . The great St. Anna bell dates from 1548 and was refilled between 1841 and 1842 by the court bell founder Karl Bellmann in Prague. After the Thirty Years' War, Catholics from Böhmisch Weigsdorf and the Saxon East was also part of the Engelsdorf Church . In 1885, Mayor Blumrich bought the clockwork from the old town hall in Friedland and had a clock tower installed in the church tower. In 1896 the church was repaired and the roof renewed. In 1912 the church received a new organ from the workshop of the Rieger brothers from Jägerndorf . The bells melted down during World War I were replaced by three new ones from the workshop of Oktav Winter in Braunau in 1923 ; they were confiscated in 1942 and lost again in World War II. In 1949 the church received a small bell from the All Saints Church in Kunratice . After that, only minor repairs were made, so that the church increasingly fell into disrepair. In 1992 it was repaired and a year later it received a new electric clockwork.
