history

In 1218 King Friedrich II confirmed to the Waldsassen Monastery that Kuno and Heinrich von Liebenstein would leave part of the village of Konreut with its income and services for a farm in Kropitz. At that time the village of Kropitz was a Saxon-Naumburg fief . In 1486, Friedrich, Margrave of Meißen, lent an estate in Kropitz to patricians in Eger . Then he came to the Wirsperg von Höflas, which were enfeoffed in 1584 with three further manors and the mill of the place. Crapicz (Kropitz) is listed in 1322 in the register of pledged places in the Egerland . The claw tax book of 1392 contains the names of nine local farmers who paid tax on livestock. The book of eight and the book of Urgichten contain further events with a legal background.

In 1601 the Reizenstein bought the mill (house no. 1), in 1602 it came with four farms to the noble family of Rottenhan , then they bought the Reizenstein back again and after that the farm owners changed frequently until Kropitz came to the von Zedtwitz as a whole . The Kropitzmühle am Seebach, which had a lack of water in the dry season, was in operation until 1945 after technical improvements and new owners (Winkler, Wilhelm, Frank). In 1712 the city council of Eger bought the Höflas estate with Kropitz and Oedt. After that there were numerous changes to the manorial boundaries , which often led to disputes between the individual rulers.

After the end of his inheritance , Kropitz came in 1850 with Sichdichfür, Tannenberg, Höflas, Oedt and Rossenreuth to the municipality of Oberlohma, Kammerdorf to the municipality of Eichelberg. In 1922 after the establishment of Czechoslovakia , Kropatz became its own parish with Kammerdorf and Sichdichfür, belonged to the parish of Oberlohma, and had its own school and fire department since 1904. The place was well supplied with drinking water. The meadows towards Franzensbad were drained. The arable soils were clay-sand and difficult to work, to the north they were too lighter and more productive.
