Šumperk (German Mährisch Schönberg ) is a town in the Olomouc region in the Czech Republic. It is located on the Desná at the foot of the Jeseníky Mountains .
history
The village of Šumperk was owned by Zdeněk Ralsko von Waldstein around 1180 . It was raised to the rank of city under his sons. As early as 1224, the Dominicans had established a religious settlement for eight monks. During the armed conflict between the brothers Wenceslas I of Bohemia and Přemysl of Moravia , the town was destroyed in 1239. The reconstruction took place around 1250. The Dominican monastery and the monastery church of the Annunciation were in 1286 by the Vyšehrad provost and later Bishop of Olomouc John VI. rebuilt by Waldstein .
1340 awarded Margrave Karl the Lords of Lipa , the mining law for already in their possession gentlemen Schoenberg, Goldstein and Žampach . Karl's younger brother Jobst of Moravia granted the town of Schönberg numerous privileges in 1391, which made it equal to a royal town . After further changes of ownership, Schönberg was given a pledge to Peter von Žerotín († 1530) in 1495 , who took over the debts on the town. In 1504 Schönberg and Blauda became his property.
During the Reformation , the monks and the Catholic population were expelled from the city. In 1584 the Jews were expelled, most of whom settled in the Jewish community in Mährisch Aussee . After the battle of the White Mountain , Emperor Ferdinand II transferred Schönberg and other extensive possessions in northern Moravia to the governor Karl von Liechtenstein in his capacity as King of Bohemia . Although he had to take on the debt, he was one of the most powerful and richest aristocrats in North Moravia. Subsequently, he enforced the Counter Reformation . The newly elected council of the city had to take a Catholic oath and approve the reintroduction of the Dominicans, whose monastery was restored in 1623. In the second half of the 17th century there were persecutions of witches , which the authorities had commissioned the lawyer Franz Heinrich Franz Boblig von Edelstadt from Groß-Ullersdorf to do.
There was an economic development in the 18th century through the linen weaving trade , from which the linen and textile industry later developed. In the Dominican monastery, which was abolished in 1784 as part of the Josephine reforms , the Viennese Ernest Klapperoth built the largest Manchester factory in Europe from 1785–1788 , but after the continental blockade was lifted in 1813, it could no longer hold its own. The factory rooms were converted into barracks. In 1842 the first mechanical linen spinning mill in Moravia was put into operation in Schönberg . The Moravian Border Railway , established in 1870 and based in Schönberg, opened the Hohenstadt – Zöptau railway in 1871 . From 1874 the North Moravian Border Messenger appeared in Schönberg, which was a center of the North Moravian school system in the 19th century .
Germans of the Austro-Hungarian Privy Council did not accept the establishment of Czechoslovakia and declared themselves independent as German Bohemia, this included Mährisch Schönberg, under the name Sudetenland. In doing so, they referred to US President Wilson's right to self-determination. One of the leading figures was Gustav Oberleithner, mayor of Mährisch Schönberg, who was appointed deputy head of government. The city was occupied by troops from Czechoslovakia on December 15, 1918, without a shot being fired. Gustav Oberleithner was not punished because the international status of Czechoslovakia had not yet been clarified at the time.
The proportion of the Czech population increased in the next few years due to settlement. This led to arguments. In 1910, 353 Czechs lived in Mährisch Schönberg, at the 1930 census, Mährisch Schönberg had 15,718 inhabitants (3434/22% of them Czechs). Most of them lived in the "Czech Quarter", Česká čtvrť.
The Sudeten German Party (SdP), openly supported by the “ Third Reich ”, received 64% of the votes in the 1935 elections.
After the Munich Agreement , the city was added to the German Reich in 1938 and until 1945 was the seat of the district of Mährisch Schönberg , administrative district of Troppau , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland . In 1945 Šumperk returned to Czechoslovakia , and in 1945/46 a large part of the German-Moravian population was expropriated and driven out by the Beneš decrees .
In February 1946 a further eleven transports with more than 9,500 Germans took place as part of the expulsion. As of the last day of this year, only 686 residents remained in the city. The original German residents were replaced by settlement from the Czech interior.
On May 4, 1950, Temenice was incorporated .
On August 21, 1968, during the Prague Spring , the city was occupied by the Polish Army, and a few weeks later, on October 3, by the Red Army.
There is a Czech-German meeting center in the city with a branch in Nový Jičín .
