Horní Heřmanice (German Oberhermanitz , also for short Hermanitz , Herbordsdorf and 1304 Hermansdorf ) is a municipality in the district of Ústí nad Orlicí in the east Bohemian region of Pardubický kraj in the Czech Republic .

location

The mountain village is located directly on the former Bohemian-Moravian border, about 25 kilometers south of the Czech-Polish border below the easternmost tip of the Eagle Mountains at an altitude of about 600 meters above sea level. Neighboring communities are Cotkytle ( Zottkittl ), Výprachtice ( Weipersdorf ) and Štíty ( Schildberg ).

history

The village was probably founded by a locator named Herman . In 1304 Horní Heřmanice was first mentioned as Hermansdorf . At that time, a donation from several places in 1292 from King Wenceslaus II to the Königssaal monastery that he had founded was confirmed again. The monastery ceded to Heřmanice in 1358, as it was far away, as property to Johannes von Neumarkt , the Bishop of Naumburg , Leitomischl , Olomouc and Elekt von Breslau in exchange for other possessions and money.

At the beginning of the 15th century the place belonged to the rule of the diocese Leitomischl . In 1409 the place was separated from the spiritual rule by Johann von Bucca and mortgaged to Jan Smiřický ze Smiřic (German Johann von Schmiritz , Johann Smiřický von Smiřice ). According to Schwarz, the Hussite period (1419–1434) seems to have weakened Germanism in Hermansdorf , among other places , "be it that it has become a minority, be it that German places deserted and rose again as Czech (Czech) ones." 1453 the lien belonged to Markéta ze Zásady, the wife of Václav Preger, captain of Lanšperk Castle ; In the same year Heřmanice was transferred to Zdeněk Kostka von Postupitz , among other places , who brought Dolni and Horní Heřmanice into the Lanšperk domain.

At the beginning of the 40s of the 16th century the place was owned by Johann von Pernstein . In 1544 he was forced to sell Lanšperka Castle, three small towns and a number of surrounding villages, including Dolní and Horní Heřmanice, to Peter Bohdanecký von Hodkov due to high debts. Twenty years later, in 1564, the son of Johann von Pernstein, Vratislav von Pernstein , bought this part of Peter's heirs and connected it with the recently acquired Lanškroun. Since then, both parts (Lanškroun and Lanšperk) have been listed separately, but always as part of an administrative unit - the Lanškroun domain .

Population development in Horní Heřmanice v Čechách

Both Dolní and Horní Heřmanice belonged to the district until the patrimonial administration was abolished. After 1850 they became independent and self-governing communities. In the 1921 census, there were 859 people in the 168 houses of Horní Heřmanice, including 844 Czechs and 14 Germans. In 1930 Oberhermanitz had 742 inhabitants; In 1939 there were 739. During the Second World War , Horní Heřmanice was incorporated into the Landskron district in the Reichsgau Sudetenland , where it formed a Czech language island. In the post-war history of the village, an agricultural cooperative was founded in 1953, which soon disintegrated and was renewed a few years later in 1959. In 1971 Horní Heřmanice, Dolní Heřmanice and Rýdrovice were combined into one municipality, which consists of three separate cadastral areas (districts).

Community structure

The community consists of the districts:

  • Horní Heřmanice ( Ober-Hermanitz , also Oberhermanitz )
  • Dolní Heřmanice ( Nieder-Hermanitz , also Niederhermanitz , Unter Hermanitz )
  • Rýdrovice ( Riedersdorf )

Basic settlement units are Chudoba, Dolní Heřmanice, Horní Heřmanice, Rýdrovice and Záhora.

The municipality is divided into the cadastral districts of Dolní Heřmanice v Čechách, Horní Heřmanice v Čechách and Rýdrovice.
