Kravaře ( German  Deutsch-Krawarn ) is a town with 6,737 inhabitants in the Moravskoslezský kraj region ( Czech Republic ).

history

The first written mention comes from 1224 . The place was mentioned in the treaty of the Bohemian King Ottokar I Přemysl . The first mentioned owners of the city were the Lords of Krawarn . These held the city until 1420 when Peter von Krawarn sold it.

Around 1550 there was a fortress and two courtyards with a brewery, a malt house and a mill. In 1581 the Macák z Ottenburka family bought the land. These Protestant nobles lost their property after the class uprising in 1629 to the Polish diplomat and alchemist Michał Sędziwój von Skorkau. In the meantime, the city has been enriched with a castle, stables, orchards, hops, two mills and a distillery. In 1636, Captain Jakob von Eichendorff received the town as a dowry. When Jakob von Eichendorff died childless on January 23, 1667, his nephew Hartwig Erdmann von Eichendorff became the sole heir in Moravia-Silesia . His descendants had a baroque palace built at the end of the 1820s . In 1742 the city came into the hands of Frederick the Great as a pledge within the Prussian province of Silesia . After the First World War , the village in the Hultschiner Ländchen became part of Czechoslovakia , after the Munich Agreement from 1938 to 1945 it was again part of Germany, where it was added to the Silesian district of Ratibor . In 1960 the now Kravaře named municipality was raised to the city.
