geography

The place is located in the valley of the White Neisse (Bílá Nisa) , a source river of the Lusatian Neisse . In the vicinity of the place two dams were created, which serve the drinking water supply of the cities Liberec (Reichenberg) and Jablonec nad Nisou (Gablonz) .

history

The Friedrichswalder Glashütte was built in 1598 by glass master Peter Wander. It was the starting point for the early expansion of a settlement, which got its name in honor of the first owner of the von Redern family , Friedrich von Redern the Elder († 1564). Friedrich was the father of Melchior von Redern , the owner of the estate at the time, who ruled Reichenberg from 1591 to 1600 .

The place was first called Friedrichswaldau, later Friedrichswalde and from the 18th century Friedrichswald and belonged to the judicial district of Reichenberg from the middle of the 19th century . After 1918 the Czech name Bedřichov was created next to the German place name.

After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Empire and belonged to the Reichenberg district until 1945 .
