history

The village was probably founded by the locator Skoroš, which can be proven in documents from the years 1268 and 1271. The first mention of the place Scoronsdorph was made at the beginning of the 14th century. The fortified village on a trade route to the Kłodzko Land and belonging to the Frýdberk Castle consisted of 60 Hufen and at that time had a church and probably also a fortress. After the diocese of Breslau acquired Frýdberk Castle in 1358, a Vogtshof was built in Gurschdorf. In the 15th century the place was partly desolate. Later a glassworks was founded, to which a freehold belonged. Another estate was parceled out around 1565 and the settlement of Siebenhuben was established . At the beginning of the 17th century Gurschdorf was the largest village in the Friedeberg rule and also formed the largest parish in the entire Freiwaldau district, Friedeberg , Setzdorf , Sörgsdorf and Wildschütz were also parishes . The Thirty Years' War brought the village to a decline; in addition to looting and pillage by troops passing through, the plague broke out. After the end of the war, resettlement began and in 1690 the settlement of Steingrund was founded in the woods south of Obergurschdorf . In 1713 another plague epidemic broke out. In 1730 Gurschdorf consisted of 55 farmers, four gardeners and 57 cottagers. Most of the residents lived from fruit growing and spinning, some worked as stone masons in a sculptor's workshop that processed the local granite. With the division of Silesia in 1742, the old trade route over the Reichensteiner Mountains lost all importance.

In 1833 the church burned down. In 1836 Gurschdorf consisted of 264 houses and had 1,777 inhabitants. Siebenhuben had 59 inhabitants and consisted of 10 houses; 281 people lived in the 38 wooden chalets from Steingrund. In the middle of the 19th century, spinning became more and more popular in Gurschdorf, and the Latzel family also traded yarns. There were also six ash distilleries , a bleaching facility, and grinding, sawing and oil mills. After the abolition of patrimonial Gurschdorf came in 1850 to the political district Freiwaldau and judicial district Weidenau . After the First World War, many of the residents worked in the stone carving workshops and quarries of Friedeberg . A hydropower plant was built in Niesnersberg . The place was populated by Germans and after the establishment of Czechoslovakia the inhabitants belonged to the Christian-Social electorate; in the 1930s the Sudeten German Party became the strongest force. After the Munich Agreement , Gurschdorf was annexed to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Freiwaldau district from 1939 to 1945 . After the end of the Second World War, the Germans were expelled and the place was repopulated with Czech populations. In doing so, it lost its former importance. Kamenné and Hraničná were not repopulated. In 1948 the cooperative distillery was closed. In 1949 Petrovice was incorporated and in 1960 Tomíkovice. In 1976 the place lost its independence and came to Žulová . Hadcov quarry closed in 1978. Since 1990 Skorošice has been a municipality again.
