history

The cemetery was laid out in the 13th century on the hill south of the town of Braunau . The remainder of the current district was used as agricultural land until the beginning of the 20th century.

Between 1877 and 1881 a new road (today's Smetanova) was built, which led from the town east of the cemetery to the south over the Krims to Märzdorf and Barzdorf and on over the Silesian border to Scheibau ( Skibin ) and Wünschelburg . At the end of the 19th century, another road was built, which branched off from the aforementioned to the south-west in front of the cemetery and led via the Krim houses past the brick pond to Weckersdorf . In the interwar period , Braunau began to expand along the arterial roads. The new suburban settlements included the settlement on Schafferberg (today B. Němcové) on the road to Krims and the Neue Heimat on the road to Weckersdorf.

After the Second World War, the Schafferberg settlement was renamed "Colony 5. května". The naming came after the day of the beginning of the May uprising of the Czech people , May 5, 1945. In the course of the reorganization of the urban area of ​​Broumov on March 1, 1980, the two settlements between the arterial roads became the colony of 5. května and Malá District colony 5. května formed. In 1991 the 5th května colony had 261 inhabitants. In 2001 the district consisted of 56 houses and had 271 inhabitants.

Attractions

• Late Gothic cemetery church "Our Lady under the Linden", it was probably built in the second half of the 13th century. A legend according to which the city of Braunau was founded as early as 1171 ascribes the founding of the wooden chapel to a maiden converted from paganism in 1177. It was first mentioned in writing in 1383 as an old parish church or Bohemian church . The church was destroyed and rebuilt in June 1421 during the siege of Braunau by the Hussites under Vinzenz von Wartenberg and Hynek Kruschina von Lichtenburg . The opinion, which is widespread in some literature, that the ceiling should still come from pre-Hussite times, has been refuted by modern investigations. The church got its present form during the reconstruction after the fire of 1449. Inside there are nine wooden tablets, on which important events of the city's history from the period between 1542 and 1847 are depicted; it was replaced by replicas between 2000 and 2001. In addition, tombstones from the Renaissance have been preserved in the church. The stand construction is one of the oldest wooden churches in Central Europe. The church was declared a National Cultural Monument in 2008 .
• Cemetery with historical tombstones
• Memorial to the fallen in the war of 1866 at the cemetery, erected in 1867 by the Braunau Military Veterans Association , in 1905 two sandstone blocks with marble tablets with the names of the buried soldiers on both sides were added
• Memorial to those who fell in both world wars, in the park in front of the cemetery. It was consecrated in 1934 by Abbot Dominik Prokop. The mighty sandstone block with the inscription Heimatdank 1914–1918 and smaller stones from the individual parish communities were restored in 1996 and rededicated as a memorial for the victims of both World Wars and handed over to the city.
