Andělská Hora (German Engelsberg ) is a town in Okres Bruntál ( Freudenthal district ) in the Czech Moravian-Silesian Region (Moravskoslezský kraj).
Geographical location
The city is located in the Sudetes , about eight kilometers north-northwest of Bruntál ( Freudenthal ).
Bordering municipalities are Ludvíkov ( Ludwigsthal ) in the northwest, Vrbno pod Pradědem ( Würbenthal ) in the northeast, and Světlá Hora ( Lichtewerden ) in the south. All the mentioned communities belong to the Okres Brúntal.
history
Engelsberg was founded in 1540 and registered as a mining town in 1553. Johann d. Ä. von Würben and Freudenthal granted Engelsberg mining rights in 1556. After the Thirty Years' War , Engelsberg came to the Teutonic Knight Order , in whose possession it remained until 1939.
By the Munich Agreement , Engelsberg was assigned to the German Reich in 1938 ; until 1945 the city belonged to the district of Freudenthal in the administrative district of Troppau in the Reichsgau Sudetenland . After the Second World War , the German residents were expropriated and expelled .
On June 12, 1960, the communities Andělská Hora with Pustá Rudná ( Engelsberg mit Lauterseifen ) and Světlá ( Lichtewerden ) were united to form a municipality Světlá Hora , in which Světlá the district Světlá Hora I and Andělská Hora the district Světlá Hora II . These official district names could not assert themselves with the population and have not been used since 1971. After the Velvet Revolution, Andělská Hora ( Engelsberg ) and Pustá Rudná ( Lauterseifen ) broke away in 1991 and formed the communities of Andělská Hora ( Engelsberg ). In April 2008 Andělská Hora was given city rights back.
