In the notes on this rolla it says:

“23 farmers and one hut keeper each have one hut, two farmers have two huts, and the one who tends them two huts and a mill. Two courtyards (20 and 10 lines) are desolate and crumbling. A farmer was resettled in 1653. The Hüttner are subsequently referred to as gardeners. 40 residences. "

The report on the "revised Rolla" (1747/1751/1756) stated:

"Two deserted farms were repopulated in 1658 and 1666 and counted as Hüttner. Nine farmers have half sown. Nine farms burned down from 1712 to 1745. In the fields, meadows and timber transports to Landskron, the village is very similar to Sichelsdorf . However, buildings are often badly rotten and many have been destroyed. 27 1/4 residences. "

Population development

The community was since the 13./14. Century until 1945/46 predominantly inhabited by German Moravians . In 1843 the place had 1,425 inhabitants, in 1910 there were 1,255. The German-speaking population was expropriated and expelled after the Second World War on the basis of the Beneš decrees . As a result of the World War and the displacement , the population of the village fell from 1043 inhabitants (1930) to 632 in 1950. In 2019 Damníkov had 698 permanent residents. The number of inhabitants in the 21st century is therefore below the average population between 1869 and 1930.
