history

In 1716 the Analecta factorum Zitaviensium (Chronicle of Zittau) was printed in Leipzig . Among other things, the mention of the place Hermannsdorff in the vicinity of Friedland appeared in it. According to the description, today's Hermsdorf was founded in 1375. However, this information has not been adequately confirmed. Other records indicate that the place must have been founded in the 13th century. The place belonged from the middle of the 19th century to the judicial district Friedland or the district Friedland .

In the 1921 census, 634 people lived in the village's 119 houses, including 524 Germans and 25 Czechs. After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Empire and belonged to the Friedland district until 1945 .

Until 1945, the population consisted largely of German Bohemians , who were expelled after the Second World War.

In 1900 Hermsdorf was connected to the newly built narrow-gauge railway Frýdlant – Heřmanice . With a gauge of 750 mm, this was the only one of its kind in Austria-Hungary . After the closure in 1984, the track was dismantled in 1997. The abandoned station building on the border with Poland is still standing today.

On August 7, 2010, heavy rains occurred in the triangle between Germany , Poland and the Czech Republic . Major damage occurred in Heřmanice, among other places, where several houses were destroyed by the raging water of the Erlichtbach (Czech Oleška ).

The Kodešova skála rock was declared a natural monument on February 1, 1997. The layers of basalt rock are clearly visible on the rock walls of the formation . The structure was named after Otakar Kodeš (also Kodesch ), a teacher at the Czech school in Friedland, who was shot by a Sudeten German in September 1938 near the basalt quarry in the lower part of the village. The area of ​​the natural monument covers 0.11 ha .
