history
Kronsdorf probably originated in the middle of the 15th century. The village was first mentioned in a document in 1502 when an emperor was appointed. In 1523 the Chamber of the Duchy of Jägerndorf acquired the place including the mill and brewery. The owners were the Hohenzollern and after the Battle of the White Mountain the Liechtenstein family . When Silesia was partitioned in 1742, Kronsdorf remained with Austrian Silesia . In 1834 Kronsdorf consisted of 175 houses and had 1168 inhabitants.
After the abolition of patrimonial rule, the political community Kronsdorf / Korunov was established in the district administration Jägerndorf in 1850. In 1930 there were 984 inhabitants in Kronsdorf, almost all of whom belonged to the German ethnic group. The Czech name Korunov was changed to Krasov in 1935.
After the Munich Agreement , Kronsdorf was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Jägerndorf district until 1945 . In 1939 there were 980 people in the community. After the end of the Second World War, the German population was expelled.
Since the dissolution of the Okres Krnov at the end of 1960, Krasov has belonged to the Okres Bruntál .
