history

On a western branch of the Sedlákovy Lhoty between Loučná and Saň, there was a Slavic rampart in the 9th and 10th centuries , which has similarities with the Slavic castle Tornow .

Filipovka, however, is much younger. In 1723 the owner of the Friedland estate, Philipp Joseph von Gallas, sold six settlers in the corridors of the Lautsche parcel on the Zahnebach on the Saxon border. Two years later the new settlement was named Philippsthal after its founder .

In 1832 Philippsthal consisted of 16 houses with 76 German-speaking residents. The parish was Wiese . Due to the main border and territorial recess between the Kingdom of Saxony and the Austrian Empire on March 5, 1848, a new border was drawn south of Philippsthal; the grove and the Haingut came with it to Bohemia. Until the middle of the 19th century, Philippsthal remained subject to the allodial rule of Friedland .

After the abolition of patrimonial Philippsthal formed from 1850 a district of the Engelsdorf community in the Bunzlauer Kreis and judicial district Friedland . At the same time Philippsthal, Lautsche and Zahne were united with Engelsdorf to form a cadastral community. From 1868 Philippsthal belonged to the Friedland district . In the second half of the 19th century the village grew to 20 houses. The Gasthaus Kretscham opened in house number 3 ; it has belonged to the Effenberger family since the end of the 19th century. The inn was also the only commercial enterprise in town. Between 1873 and 1875, the Reichenberg – Seidenberg railway was built . Since the end of the 19th century, Philippsthal has developed into a summer resort and was the starting point for day trippers to the Heidenstein . After the Munich Agreement , it was incorporated into the German Reich in 1938; until 1945 Philippsthal belonged to the Friedland district . After the end of the Second World War, Philippsthal came back to Czechoslovakia. In 1946 and 1947, most of the German-Bohemian residents were expelled. In 1947 the village was renamed Filipovka . In the course of the dissolution of the Okres Frýdlant, it was assigned to the Okres Liberec in 1960. On July 1, 1980 Filipovka was incorporated together with Andělka to Višňová .

In 1991 Filipovka had 26 inhabitants. In 2001 the village consisted of 14 houses in which 32 people lived. In total, Filipovka consists of 18 houses.
