history
The place was originally a district of Oschitz in the manor Dewin and was named Nieder-Oschitz . In a copy book in the town archive of Osečná you can read: Anno 1661, April 12th, Niederoschitz was separated from the town of Oschitz and called Kunnersdorf. The inhabitants lived mainly from agriculture and the cultivation of flax, which was dried on the Garnberg by hanging the plants. There were three mills on the Ploučnice, which flows through the town. In homework, cloth shoes were made in simple designs, so-called "pots". The moor camps south of the place in the so-called "Brüchtrich" were used by the residents to supply fuel by digging peat .
After the end of inheritance from the middle of the 19th century, Kunnersdorf was a municipality in the judicial district of Niemes or in the Bohemian Leipa district . At the end of the 19th century a small mud bath was built and on October 9th 1901 the place received the permission to call itself "Bad Kunnersdorf", but still belonged to the school community and the parish of Oschitz.
A story about the origin of the mud bath has been preserved from an unknown source. The merchant Franz Neuhäuser is said to have tried to use the peat deposits economically in order to operate a lime kiln with peat as an energy source , which was unsuccessful. Josef Schwan, master tanner and trader from Oschitz, bought the peat store and the distillery for 8,800 florins in 1879 . In 1881 he built a house in which two peat tubs were placed. Encouraged by success, his son Josef Ignaz Schwan enlarged the mud bath by building a new spa house and improving the infrastructure. He opened the new bath in 1900. Josef Ignaz Schwan died of pneumonia on March 22, 1901. His wife Maria (1869–1963), daughter of the white tanner master Vinzenz Müller from Wartenberg, initially continued the mud bath. The bath enjoyed increasing popularity and the number of spa guests rose steadily. When the burden became too great for her, she sold the bath to the city of Oschitz in 1908. After the expulsion, she lived with her two daughters in Saarland.
In 1913 the city administration of Oschitz had renovations carried out. A new spa house was built, a new portal with a mansard roof was built in front of the bath house . Then the administrators Adolf and Franz Rutha, brothers of the politician Heinz Rutha, promoted the further development of the bath. The bathing resort received a community school , for which the local school councilor Franz Gröschel campaigned.
In 1914 an auxiliary fund built a rest home for working people in Gablonz an der Neisse . During the First World War, the sanatorium was a rest home for wounded soldiers. In 1918, after the establishment of Czechoslovakia , the “Moorbad und Sommerfrische GmbH” consortium acquired the entire facility. From 1938 to 1945 Bad Kunnersdorf was part of the Reichenberg district in the Reichsgau Sudetenland . During the Second World War it was a reserve hospital of the German Wehrmacht . After the war, the health resort was taken over by the Czechoslovak state until 1992 and continued to be operated. The company Lázně Kundratice as has been the operator of the spa since 1992. The spa mainly treats rheumatic diseases and functional disorders of the spine.
In 1991 the place had 378 inhabitants and in 2001 consisted of 119 houses in which 491 people lived.
