history
Frankenstat was founded between 1293 and 1318 in the course of the German colonization of the Beskid foothills by the owner of the Schauenstein rulership , Heinrich von Hückeswagen, as the economic center of the rulership and named after his father Frank von Hückeswagen , who died in 1293 . The first documentary mention comes from 1382, when Birsak von Frankenstadt appeared as a witness when the owners of Schauenstein, the brothers Wenzel and Bernhard von Wigstein, were granted the privilege to appoint a bailiff in Sawersdorf . After the rule of Schauenstein was attached to Hochwald in 1437 , the town belonged to the episcopal rule of Hochwald. Frankstadt fell during the Hussite Wars. During the second phase of colonization by Wallachian lumberjacks, a large number of Paseks were created in the forests around the town . In the 16th century, the mining of iron ore began, for the processing of which a hammer mill and smelter were built. In 1598 the weavers formed the first guild in Frenštát. In the Thirty Years War the economic boom ended in 1626 with the occupation and looting by Danish troops and in 1646 by Swedish troops and rebellious Wallachians. By 1657 the population of Frenštát had fallen to 157, and there were 56 Pasekars who lived in the forests. Fires destroyed large parts of the town in 1661 and when the Hungarians invaded in 1680. In the first half of the 18th century, the Pasekars tried to break away from their obligations towards Frenštát. After long disputes, the Pasekarendorf Troyersdorf was finally established in 1748 . In the middle of the 18th century Frenštát lived 2700 people and cloth weaving was a major source of income. In 1781 Frenštát was promoted to town.
After the abolition of patrimonial Frenštát formed a municipality in the Mistek district from 1850. At this time, a great wave of emigration to North America began, which lasted until the beginning of the 20th century. The main emigration destination was Texas . During this time a textile factory was established and Michael Thonet founded a bow furniture factory. With the Mountain Association for the Radhošť , the first Czech tourist association was founded in Frenštát in 1884. In 1888 Frenštát was connected to the railway network by a line of the Kaiser-Ferdinand-Nordbahn . In 1921 the city name was expanded to include pod Radhoštěm . In 1930 there were 5,691 people in the city. After the German occupation, the city was captured by the Red Army on May 6, 1945 after heavy fighting. Parts of Frenštát pod Radhoštěm were destroyed. After the Second World War, the city was elevated to a district town. At that time, the Zlín electric motor plant moved its production to Frenštát. In 1961 the Okres Frenštát pod Radhoštěm was dissolved and the city was assigned to the Okres Nový Jičín . During the 1970s, the Školská čtvrť and Beskydské sídliště housing estates were built on the green meadows, for which some suburban streets and the small settlements Sladká ďura, Podříčí and Podkopčí were demolished. In the second half of the 20th century, Frenštát pod Radhoštěm developed into a winter sports center and the Horečky ski jumping facility was built on Horečky . The historic city center has been a municipal monument protection area since 2003.
