history

Hat factory J. Hückel's Sons (1898)

The city was founded probably in the 13th century. As early as 1313, Neutitschein received city rights, which was also linked to the right to levy customs duties. Located in the middle of the Kuhländchen , the town was famous for its cattle markets, cloth production (Preishammer company, founded in 1786) and the manufacture of hats ( Hückel company , founded 1799; August Peschel company, founded 1869 and Böhm company). Neutitschein was the birthplace of the painters Hugo Baar , Julius Berger , Anton Kolig , Eduard Veith and the filmmaker Harun Farocki . The Austrian general Ernst Gideon von Laudon died at Stadtplatz 29 on July 14, 1790 .

After the end of the First World War, the dual monarchy collapsed , from which new states emerged, such as Czechoslovakia (1st ČSR) on October 28, 1918 and the Republic of German Austria on November 12, 1918, the day after the resignation of Emperor Karl I. and the removal of his last government.

Until the Treaty of Saint-Germain came into force on July 16, 1920, Austria claimed the areas of the Czechoslovakia, which were predominantly populated by Germans. However, shortly after the establishment of the state, these were occupied by the Czechoslovak military . The main town of Kuhländchen, Neu Titschein, was occupied on 20/21. November 1918.

In 1930 there were 13,997 inhabitants, 4,236 of them were Czechs . After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the district of Neu Titschein , administrative district of Troppau , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland . On May 17, 1939 Neu Titschein had 13,486 residents and on May 17, 1947 there were 11,406 residents. Until 1945 Sudeten Germans , formerly known as German Moravians , were the strongest group of the population, but at the same time the area around Neutitschein was also one of the centers of resistance against the National Socialists because of the mixed population.

Due to the Beneš decrees , the German population was expropriated and expelled in 1945.

The center of the district town of Okres Nový Jičín with its numerous architectural monuments has been a listed building since 1967 .

The district Libhošť formed on January 1, 2011 again an independent municipality.
