history
The village was laid out by the Premonstratensian monastery Litomyšl in the course of the colonization of the Bohemian-Moravian border forests by German settlers. The place was first mentioned as Quietne in 1347, when it was assigned to the Litomyšl diocese . Since 1350 a branch church belonging to the parish of Karlsbrunn has been documented in the village that was then called Blumnow . In 1421 the Hussites plundered the area. After the fall of the diocese, Blumenau belonged to the Litomyšl rule. During the Thirty Years War the Swedes occupied the village. In 1677 204 people lived in Blumenau. In 1680 a peasant uprising broke out. Under the leadership of the emperor Karl Wala, the farmers moved to Litomyšl, where a total of 5,000 insurgents from the surrounding villages gathered and negotiated with the castle captain of Lichtenfels about alleviating the compulsory burdens. After the revolt was put down, the ringleaders, including the Blumenau farmers Czepa and Huschka, were executed.
In 1694, one and a half kilometers south-east, the nine-house settlement of Kieferkratschen was established on manorial land, which came to Blumenau a year later. In 1765, a twelve-year court process began between the owner of the Litomyšl estate, Georg Christian von Waldstein-Wartenberg, and the Blumenau judge Franz Wala, in which the judge was ultimately subjected to compulsory labor in relation to the estate. In 1775 the judge Wala was accused of having started the fire in Litomyšl and had to run the gauntlet in Prague . Wala reached an audience with Emperor Joseph II , at which he was able to demonstrate his innocence. On September 16, 1776, the emperor visited the judge on his sick bed during an inspection tour with General Franz Moritz von Lacy through Bohemia.
In 1814 the church in Blumenau was elevated to a parish church. In 1817 the new road from Polička to Svitavy was built , which led through Blumenau. After the abolition of patrimonial Blumenau / Květná formed a municipality in the Litomyšl district from 1850. In 1895 the railway line from Polička to Svitavy was inaugurated. After the old church had become too small, a new building was built next to the old church between 1902 and 1906, which was then demolished in 1908. In 1930 Blumenau had 645 inhabitants, all of whom were Germans. After the Munich Agreement , the village was added to the German Reich in 1938 and until 1945 it belonged to the district of Zwittau .
On May 9, 1945, the Red Army occupied Blumenau. After the Second World War, the community Květná was assigned to the Okres Polička. The German residents were expelled between 1945 and 1946, and a large part of them settled in the Bavarian municipality of Aurach . In the course of the territorial reform, the Okres Polička was dissolved on January 1, 1961, since then Květná has belonged to the Okres Svitavy . On July 1, 1971 Borová Krčma lost the status of a district.
