Město Libavá (German city ​​of Liebau ) is a municipality in the Czech town of Okres Olomouc ( Olomouc district ). Until the end of 2015 it was a military settlement on the Libavá military training area .

Geographical location

The village is located in the Sudetes on Libavský potok in the Oder Mountains , about 30 km northeast of Olomouc .

history

In 1929 there were 345 houses with 2,237 inhabitants in the town of Liebau . Of these, 2,181 were Germans (German-speaking Moravians ) and 21 were Czechs .

Through the Munich Agreement , the city of Liebau was assigned to the German Reich : in 1945 the city belonged to the district of Bärn in the administrative district of Troppau in the Reichsgau Sudetenland .

After the Second World War , the German-speaking population was expelled to Germany . Immediately afterwards, the entire area around the city was used as a military training area for military purposes.

Město Libavá was the center of the restricted military area until it was downsized on January 1, 2016. The NATO troops practice here for various types of operations. The administration of the village was military, not civil.

On 10 and 11 February 2012 in Město Libavá a place of inquiry instead, practically a local referendum was tantamount. The question was whether the residents would like to join a neighboring community or the re-emergence of an independent community. 49.9% of those entitled took part in the survey , and 97.8% of the participants voted for the creation of an independent community, which also includes the Heroltovice district . Only 1.7% voted against this. The result was legally binding.

In the course of the downsizing of the military training areas and in accordance with the decision of the large majority of residents, Město Libavá and the Heroltovice district left the military administration on January 1, 2016 (not January 1, 2015, as planned earlier) and has been training one since then independent municipality with the old name.

On a square in the center of the village, a memorial stone commemorates the so-called “Black Barons” (“Černí baroni”), who were obliged to do forced labor in the technical auxiliary battalions ( Pomocný technický prapor ) between 1950 and 1954 .
