history
Kleinaupa was founded in the 16th century on land owned by the country as a forest workers' settlement. Most of the wood was delivered to the Kuttenberg mines. The mining of iron ore later acquired economic importance. In 1779, Emperor Joseph II visited Kleinaupa and, as part of his religious policy, which became known as Josephinism , initiated the construction of the Church of St. Peter and Paul . Tourism developed from the second half of the 19th century. In 1930 Kleinaupa had 473 inhabitants, in 1939 there were 397.
After the Munich Agreement , Kleinaupa, which was mainly populated by German-Bohemian people, was annexed to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Trautenau district until 1945 . After the Second World War, the German-Bohemian residents were expelled in 1945/46 .
