history
Desna was founded in 1691 by Count Albrecht Maximilian Desfours . The place is entered as Desfoursdorf in the country table . However, due to its location on the river Desse, the place name Dessendorf came into being and changed to Desna under the influence of the Czech language. From the middle of the 19th century and the end of hereditary submission, Dessendorf formed a community in the judicial district of Tannwald .
The community experienced a great boom in the second half of the 19th century when a spa was opened, which was later closed again. On September 18, 1916, when the dam on the White Desse broke, a serious catastrophe occurred in the area, killing 62 people.
On the site of the former spa there is now a park with the architecturally impressive Riedelvilla, which was built in 1895 by the glass manufacturer Josef Riedel, whose grandson Claus Josef Riedel after the expulsion of the Germans from Czechoslovakia and the expropriation of the Riedel family in 1945 after the end of the Second Founded the Riedel Glas company in Kufstein during the Second World War (1939–1945) .
Since 1945 there has been a further, modest development of the glass and ceramic industry and especially of tourism as the livelihood of the population.
