Gruna (German Grünau ) is a municipality in the Czech Republic . It is located six kilometers east of Moravská Třebová and belongs to the Okres Svitavy . The Třebůvka valley lies south of the village .
history
Grünau was founded in the middle of the 13th century by German colonists. In 1365 the place in the south of the Schönhengstgau came under the rule of Trübau , this is also the first documentary evidence of the place. The first mention of Seibelsdorf, which was called Sybothin at the time and belonged to the Cimburg rule , also dates from that year. In 1398 Seibelsdorf also became part of the Trübauer rule.
Grünau had been a pastor since 1486. In 1550 the Reformation arrived and in 1625 the re-Catholicization took place.
The place Charlottendorf with 23 settlers was created in 1787 when the Wojes manor ( Svojanov ) was divided into the Moravian Trübau dominion.
The Grünau village school was inaugurated in 1848, and since 1900 it has been run in two classes. The inhabitants of the villages lived from agriculture, in 1911 a schnapps distillery was established in Grünau.
After the patrimonial rule was replaced, Grünau and Seibelsdorf became independent places in the newly formed Mährisch Trübau district. Charlottendorf remained part of Wojes from 1850 to 1868 and did not become independent until 1869.
After the Munich Agreement, the villages were incorporated into the German Reich in 1938 as part of the Mährisch Trübau district in the Sudetengau . All three villages were almost exclusively populated by Germans. After the end of the Second World War , all Germans were expelled and the loss of population could not be compensated for by the settlement of Czechs. In 1945, Gruna became the seat of a newly formed Borušovské Mýto municipality , which was dissolved again in 1949. Karlín came as a district to Žipotín.
In 1960 the Okres Moravská Třebová was dissolved. At the same time, Žipotín including Karlín, the name of which has disappeared since then, was incorporated into Gruna and the place came to Okres Svitavy . In 1970 the parish church of St. Laurentius in Gruna, built in 1834, was destroyed by fire. In 1976 Gruna lost its independence and was part of the town of Moravská Třebová until 1992.
The core town of Gruna had 44 houses in 2001, 34 of which are used for residential purposes. In the village there is the rectory from 1863 and a chapel.
In Žipotín 13 houses served as permanent residence. There are a total of 23 houses in the area of Karlín. There is a small chapel in both Žipotín and Karlín. In addition, there are a number of buildings throughout the municipality that are only used as summer seats, as well as holiday huts. In May 2006 two wind turbines went into operation at Karlin.

Peace of mind
An actual incident from the 19th century was processed by Josef Willhardt in his folk play Annenruhe in 1913 .
In 1819 Josef Herkner, merchant and mayor's son from Mährisch Trübau fell in love with the Charlottendorfer forester's daughter Anna Glasses (1801–1823), whose parents were enemies. The forester people did not agree to their daughter's marriage to Herkner and in 1823 they married the local judge Franz Anton Gromes from Ranigsdorf . After Anna died in the wedding year, stories circulated that Herkner should have reburied the dead woman in his garden on the slope of the Kreuzberg. On the eve of the St. Anna Festival in 1825, the Trübauer experienced a big surprise when the way out of the city to the garden was marked with fires and in Herkner's brightly lit garden on a grave-like hill the words Dir there, es hot Annenruhe could be read. Investigations quickly revealed that the tomb that had been prepared was fake and that Herkner could not forget his lover.
Almost 100 years later, the rumors that Anna Gromes' body had been reburied came true when only an empty coffin was found in her grave in 1924. Finally, in 1934, while quarrying work in the area of the former Herkner garden on Kreuzberg, they came across a female skeleton elsewhere. Anna's remains were transferred to the Gromes family tomb.
