history

The first written mention of a grange in Höllengrund ( Frowergen in Heller ) was 1601. In 1702, were around the stately Meierhof created and the sheep six houses; the settlement was called Hellen . Other forms of the name were Höllner Schafferey (1713) and Höllner Meyerhof (1780).

In the course of raabization , the owner of the Friedland estate , Christian Philipp von Clam-Gallas , had the corridors of the Meierhof and the sheep farm parceled out and sold to subjects. The new village, consisting of 33 properties, was initially referred to as Hell and officially named Karolinenthal or Carolinenthal in 1784 after the wife of the founder, Karolina Josepha, born Countess von Sporck . Its residents were obliged to do labor in Haindorf . In the course of time the place name changed to Karolinthal (1787) and Karolinsthal (1790).

In 1832 Karolinthal consisted of 65 houses with 445 inhabitants. The parish was Raspenau . Until the middle of the 19th century, Karolinthal remained subject to the allodial rule of Friedland .

After the abolition of patrimonial Karolinthal and Karolinenthal formed from 1850 a district of the community Mildeneichen in the Bunzlauer Kreis and judicial district Friedland . The main source of income for the residents was forest work, home weaving and wage labor in the factories in the surrounding areas. Since there was neither a guard nor a gendarme in the remote place, poaching also played a not inconsiderable role. From 1868 the village belonged to the Friedland district . Since the end of the 19th century, only the place name Karolinthal was used. In 1884 Adolf Rösler and Wilhelm Wildner founded the porcelain factory . It had only one kiln and employed 13 workers; it was the only industrial company that ever existed in the village and was significantly smaller than the factories in Hegewald and Mildeneichen. After Wildner left, Adolf Rösler was the sole partner from 1893. On May 11, 1904, the A. Rösler porcelain factory burned down and was not rebuilt. At the beginning of the 20th century, Karolinthal developed into a summer resort. After the Munich Agreement , it was incorporated into the German Reich in 1938; Until 1945 Karolinthal belonged to the Friedland district . After the end of the Second World War, Karolinthal came back to Czechoslovakia and most of the German-Bohemian residents were expelled. In 1946 the place was renamed Peklo . In 1950 it was incorporated into Raspenava. In the course of the abolition of the Okres Frýdlant, the village was assigned to the Okres Liberec in 1960. In 1980, Peklo lost its district status.
