history

Located on the border between Austrian Silesia and the Prussian county of Glatz on the Gersdorfer Pass, the Grenzdörfel was founded in 1785 by the prince-bishop's Johannisberg office . The border traffic over the pass to Neu Gersdorf was essential for the development of the village . Because of the mountainous location and the poor soils, agricultural use was limited to pasture farming and the cultivation of oats. The main sources of income therefore included forest work, daily wages and home work , especially flax spinning. In 1809 the chapel of St. Joseph erected.

In 1836 the village Grenzdörfel , located on a forested plateau, consisted of 37 scattered houses in which 281 German-speaking people lived. There was a middle school in the village. The parish was Neuwilmsdorf . Grenzdörfel remained subject to the diocese of Breslau until the middle of the 19th century .

After the abolition of patrimonial border village formed from 1849 a district of the community Neu Wilmsdorf / Vilémovice in the judicial district of Jauernig . A permanent decline in population began. From 1869 the village belonged to the Freiwaldau district. At that time the village had 260 inhabitants and consisted of 39 houses. In 1883 a new one-class village school was opened. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the settlement, the chapel was renovated in 1885. Since the end of the 19th century, Gränzdorf was used as the official place name and the Czech place name Hraničky was introduced. In 1900 there were 211 people in Gränzdorf , in 1910 there were 193. In the 1921 census, 192 people lived in the 41 houses in the village, including 183 Germans and 3 Czechs. In 1930 Gränzdorf consisted of 39 houses and had 178 inhabitants. After the Munich Agreement , the village was assigned to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Freiwaldau district until 1945 . After the end of the Second World War, Hraničky came back to Czechoslovakia; the German-speaking residents were expelled in 1945/46 with the exception of four families . The resettlement failed, a family who had resettled in 1948 quickly left the place. In 1949 the municipality Nové Vilémovice was abolished and incorporated into Uhelná. In the same year, the last four families from Hraničky were evacuated. The Greek refugees resettled to Nové Vilémovice at that time plundered the abandoned houses and used them to extract building materials. In 1950 the village consisted of 43 uninhabited houses, almost all of which were destroyed between 1959 and 1960 by the army, which also blew up the chapel. Only one house, to which the forest worker Franz Schlegel and his family returned, remained. During the territorial reform of 1960, the Okres Jeseník was abolished and Hraničky was incorporated into the Okres Šumperk . Between 1985 and 1990 the village was incorporated into Javorník . Since 1996 Hraničky has belonged again to Okres Jeseník. In the 2001 census, one person lived in the only house in the village. In total there are only two houses left in Hraničky, otherwise the place consists of a large meadow with some remains of walls.
