Street in the city center

Albirchtisdorf was first mentioned in 1377 when the Duchy of Opava was divided. In 1390 Jobst von Moravia became the owner of the Olbersdorf estate, followed by the Knights of Stosch in 1420 and the Makrota in 1492. The old fortress was destroyed in 1474 by the troops of King Matthias Corvinus . In 1492 Adolf Makrota had Olbersdorf elevated to the status of town by Vladislav II and given various privileges. In 1503 the Lords von Füllstein acquired the property, which was confiscated after the Battle of the White Mountain . In 1623 the Jesuits in Neisse received Olbersdorf. 1716 raised Charles VI. Olbersdorf to a free rule.

After most of Silesia was ceded to Prussia in 1742, the city remained with Austrian Silesia . The border that emerged directly in front of the city severely hampered its further development. In 1745 the Neisser Jesuits handed Olbersdorf over to the Jesuits in Opava ; In 1773 their goods were transferred to the Imperial Court Chamber.

In 1813, a heavy flood from the Goldoppa flooded the city in such a way that its residents fled to the higher-lying neighboring villages of Burgwiese and Oberschaar. In 1824 Karl Traugott Skrbenský from Hřiště to Hoschialkowitz ( Hošťálkovice ) became the new landlord, who sold the property to the Troppauer merchants Vincenz Keil and Vincenz Tlachov just a year later. In 1837 they built a sheet metal rolling mill near the city, which became the largest employer in the region. In the 1890s the plant was relocated to Oderberg , where it merged with the United Ironworks and Wire Works . As a result of the loss of jobs, the population fell by 15 percent.

Around 1850 Paul Primavesi built a linen spinning mill, which in its heyday was among the 10 largest spinning mills in the monarchy. The plant also supported the construction of the railway from Jägerndorf to Bad Ziegenhals , which gave Olbersdorf a rail connection. After the majority takeover of the company by Otto Primavesi, the plant became part of the bankruptcy, caused by excessive support for the Wiener Werkstätte.

By the Munich Agreement , Olbersdorf was assigned to the German Reich in 1938; until 1945 Olbersdorf belonged to the district of Jägerndorf in the administrative district of Troppau in the Reichsgau Sudetenland . After the Second World War , Olbersdorf came back to Czechoslovakia. The predominantly German-speaking population was expelled ; only a few spinning masters had to stay. The plant later produced incandescent lamps. After the Velvet Revolution , the unprofitable factory was closed.

Today the region is one of the areas with high unemployment.
