history
The place arose in a left side valley of the Neisse as a charcoal settlement. According to legends, the settlement was founded in the 15th century by a charcoal burner named Christophorus. The settlements of Eckersbach and Holundergrund and Neuland, located along the stream, were first mentioned in documents in 1518 as the property of the bailiff of Upper Lusatia, Wilhelm von Ilburg, and part of the Lämberg rule . At that time, silver and lead mining took place in the forests between Eckersbach, Christofsgrund and Neuland, which was discontinued before 1750. In 1528 Wilhelm von Ilburg granted mountain freedom for Eldergrund and Eckersbach. In 1581 Heinrich von der Berka and Duba bought the Lämberg estate. The hammer mill in Eckersbach was also mentioned. Together with Kriesdorf , Eckersbach was separated from Dohna von Lämberg under Nikolaus II and attached to the Grafenstein rule . The valley was named Christophsgrund after his son Christoph von Dohna . Field names such as Zeche, Kuks, Schachtberg in Kryštofovo Údolí and Wolmschacht and Simmschacht in Novina are reminiscent of mining. In 1632 the place consisted of 46 farms. In the course of the Counter Reformation after the Thirty Years War, a large part of the Protestant population left the place and Catholics were settled.
In 1826 the Reichenberg entrepreneurs Siegmund and Neuhäuser built a textile factory below Christophsgrund on the Neisse near Hammerstein. After the abolition of patrimonial Christophsgrund / Grunt formed a community in the judicial district of Kratzau or in the district of Reichenberg . The Kaiserstraße from Kratzau to Oschitz was built between 1852 and 1858. In the years from 1856 to 1859 the railway from Reichenberg to Zittau was built and a viaduct was built at the Hammerstein ruins. In 1900 the section of the North Bohemian Transversal Railway was completed, with which Christofsgrund was connected to the railway network. A 194 m long viaduct with 14 arches was built and the 818 m long Jeschken tunnel was driven. From 1920 the Czech name of the village was changed to Údol Svatého Kryštofa . In 1930 there were 844 people in the community, 96% of whom were Germans. As a result of the Munich Agreement , Christofsgrund was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Reichenberg district until 1945 . In 1939 750 people lived in the village. After the end of the war, the Germans were expelled . Until 1960 Údol Svatého Kryštofa belonged to the Okres Liberec-okolí. In 1960 the municipality was named Kryštofovo Údolí and at the beginning of 1961 came to Okres Liberec. From 1980 to 1990 Kryštofovo Údolí was incorporated into Chrastava .
