history

The city was probably founded in connection with the construction of a castle at the beginning of the 14th century. Since the middle of the 14th century, Jauernig belonged to the Principality of Neisse- Grottkau under the rule of the Prince-Bishops of Wroclaw . The settlement, which belonged to the village of Jauernig ( Ves Javorník ), was called a market and was laid out as a long street with small parcels on the road to Glatz . From 1428 to 1432 the Hussites held the castle and the place Jauernig.

Under the Breslau bishop Johannes V. Thurzo , the castle was converted into a palace at the beginning of the 16th century, which was named Johannesberg after him . Moreover, that was silver and - iron ore - mining added. The settlement was separated from the village of Jauernig and took on the character of a mountain village; she owned a hut and a hammer mill .

1549 was Jauernig, which then usually even after the lock name with Johannesberg was named the city charter . The first school in town can also be found in this year.

In 1576 the city was badly damaged by fire. Jauernig suffered a lot in the Thirty Years' War when it was plundered several times by troops passing through .

Between 1725 and 1726 the cityscape was redesigned with the construction of the church, the rectory, the school and the town hall.

When Frederick II conquered Silesia in 1742 , Jauernig remained with Austria , but now became a border town with Prussia . In 1748 it became the seat of the management of the Dominialgüter of the Diocese of Breslau for the entire Freiwaldau region . At the same time, Jauernig also became the seat of the state government for the Austrian part of the Principality of Neisse-Grottkau, which was dissolved in 1810 as a result of the secularization by Prussia . The city fire of 1825 destroyed almost the entire city. The reconstruction took place in the style of the bourgeois classic.

At the end of the 19th century Jauernig belonged to the Freiwaldau district administration and was the seat of a district court . In 1880 there were 2,292 inhabitants in the city, the village of Jauernig had 1,070 inhabitants. On December 1, 1930, the city of Jauernig had 3,067 inhabitants, on May 17, 1939 there were 2941 and on May 22, 1947, 1678 inhabitants.

In the 20th century, Jauernig received a railway connection to Freiwaldau, which was followed by a junction to Neisse in Haugsdorf . In addition to the well-known brewery , a few smaller companies also settled here. The city had a district court.

After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Empire and until 1945 belonged to the Freiwaldau district .

After the Second World War , internment camps were set up in Jauernig for the German population in the area . A former camp of the Reich Labor Service served as a men's camp, while the women were interned at Johannesberg Castle until they were deported to Germany. The goods of the bishops of Wroclaw were confiscated by the Czechoslovak state in 1948 . Between 1985 and 1990 Uhelná ( Sörgsdorf ) and Vlčice (Wildschütz) were also incorporated into Javorník.
