history

Gossengrün was first mentioned in 1350 as part of the Hartenberg castle rule. In 1460, Wenzel Schlick von Passaun and Weißkirchen acquired the place. In 1484 Gossengrün was granted city rights. The mining town , located on an old trade route to Saxony, also had market and brewing rights and the right to drink for the surrounding villages. In 1488, Vladislav II granted the city the privilege of holding a coat of arms and a seal. Lead and silver were mined around Gossengrün; the Thirty Years War brought the decline of mining. Two hospitals were established in the city in the 18th century. In 1807 Gossengrün was destroyed by a city fire. Owners were u. a. the families of Schlick, Pißnitz, Breda, Auersperg and Kopal.
In the 19th century, lace making found its way into Gossengrün; about 300 of the approx. 1500 inhabitants lived on it. A mirror factory was later built.
After the abolition of patrimonial Gossengrün formed a municipality in the Falkenau district from 1850 .
After the end of the First World War , the place was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 .
1930 predominantly German-speaking people lived in the community in 1626. In the summer of 1938 a nationalist uprising broke out: after the attack on the gendarmerie station, seven of the rebels died as a result of the intervention of the Czechoslovak army. After the Munich Agreement in 1938, Gossengrün was incorporated into the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the district of Falkenau an der Eger , administrative district of Eger , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland . In 1939 Gossengrün had 1,573 inhabitants. After the end of the war, the community was taken over by Czechoslovakia; the Germans were driven out . In 1948 the name was changed to Krajková. In the 1950s Krajková lost its town charter. Krajková is a member of the Svatavka microregion. The corridors of the village Leopoldovy Hamry, sunk in the Horka dam, belong to Krajková.
Population development
Until 1945, Gossengrün was mainly populated by German Bohemia , which were expelled.
