The village is said to have been laid out in 1630. In that year, a fugitive recruit named Johan Wolfgang Reckziegel from Gistej (now Jistebsko ) settled in what is today. In 1681 the first chapel (made of wood) was built at the expense of the village community, and around 1700 the first stone church. In 1800 the church was elevated to a parish church and rebuilt in stone in 1804.
The first glassworks is mentioned in 1758. In 1772 the plague struck the place. In 1811 the church of John the Baptist was consecrated. In 1849 the first textile factory was put into operation, ten years later eleven glass grinding shops and dealers were added. From the middle of the 19th century Johannesberg formed a municipality in the judicial district of Gablonz on the Neisse . In 1869 2357 people lived in the village.
In addition to a large glass factory, there were around 80 companies in the glass jewelry house industry, a paper factory and a waste spinning mill. In 1887, a cast-iron observation tower was built on the Slovanka (Seibthübel) hill near Hrabětice (Grafendorf) .
After the First World War , the town of Johannesberg was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 . In 1920 the place was raised to a city with at that time 3200 citizens. Due to the Munich Agreement , Johannesberg belonged from 1938 to 1945 to the district of Gablonz an der Neisse , district of Aussig , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland of the German Empire .
In the years 1946 to 1947 the majority of the German-speaking residents were expropriated and expelled from the country . Many found a new home in Neugablonz .
The place experienced numerous hard winters. In a few years the snow lay until June.
From April 2, 1900 to March 31, 1965, Johannesberg was connected to Gablonz by an electric tram to Rychnov (Reichenau) . Freight traffic for local industrial companies was also handled over the route (until around 1950).
Demographics
Until 1945 Johannesberg was mostly populated by German Bohemia , which were expelled.
