history

The first written mention of the scattered settlement Křižánky on the Bohemian side of the Svratka was made in 1392 in the land table as one of the 58 villages of the Richenburg domain . Later the Lords of Pernstein founded a settlement of the same name on the opposite Moravian side, which was first mentioned in 1437 as the property of Johann von Pernstein .

For five centuries, both villages belonged to different crown lands , districts and manors. After the abolition of patrimonial both the Bohemian and the Moravian Křižánky formed independent communities from 1850. To make it easier to differentiate, the Moravian municipality belonging to the Neustadtl district was renamed Moravské Křižánky at the end of the 19th century . After the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1921, the Bohemian municipality in the Chrudim district was also given the new name České Křižánky . After the glass and iron industry had ceased to exist, filing was the main source of income for both villages. In Křižánky the origin of skiing was probably in the Vysočina; As early as 1886 the teacher Houdek and Forstmann Resch used boards imported from Norway. In the 20th century, Křižánky developed into a resort.

In the course of the municipal reform of 1960, the municipality České Křižánky and Moravské Křižánky were merged into one municipality Křižánky and assigned to the Okres Žďár nad Sázavou . Between 1980 and 1990 Křižánky was incorporated into Sázava. After the Velvet Revolution , the municipalities of České Křižánky and Moravské Křižánky emerged. In 1999 the municipalities of České Křižánky and České Milovy merged. In 2002, České Křižánky (with České Milovy) and Moravské Křižánky merged again to form one municipality Křižánky.

Moravské Křižánky has been a village monument reserve since 1995. Between 2009 and 2012 the municipality received several awards in the “Village of Vysočina” competition, and in 2012 Křižánky was the winner.
