history

The first written mention comes from the year 1291 , although judging by the ground plan of the church, the village is much older. According to archaeological finds, the area was already inhabited in the Stone Age. The name of the village probably comes from the founder Bernard or Bertold. It belongs to one of the villages in the Freiwaldau area that suffered the most in the Thirty Years' War . The armies of both warring parties made frequent stops here. In addition, there was the plague in 1633 , which decimated the village to 13 inhabitants. In 1650 20 of the 26 fiefdoms were abandoned.

In the 18th century the village was filled with life again until the plague struck again in 1713. In 1779 Paulina Rustov , the wife of the director of the episcopal estate, bought the village. The community Paulinaburg (also Paulineberg ), which was dissolved in 1782, was named after her . A brewery, a distillery and a mill were built in their place. Gotthardsdorf ( Gotartovice ), named after Bishop Philipp Gotthard von Schaffgotsch, had a similar experience . In 1836 Josef Latzel bought the upper Scholtiseigut ( Försterhof estate ) together with his father of the same name . From 1849 Josef Latzel jun. sole owner, he was a member of the Reichstag in 1848/49 .

In 1896 the village was connected to the railway and in 1869 the first agricultural school in Silesia was opened. The station was destroyed in an earthquake in the 19th century. After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Empire and until 1945 belonged to the Freiwaldau district . In 1945/46 the German residents were expelled.
