Petrovice ve Slezsku (German: Petersdorf ) is a municipality in the Okres Bruntál in Olomoucký kraj in northeastern Czech Republic .

location

The place is in the Zuckmanteler Bergland , around 2 km south of the Bischofskoppe , over whose summit the Czech-Polish border runs. To the north rises the Velká stříbrná ( Silberkoppe , 785 m nm). The municipality borders on Poland in the north, Janov in the east, the town of Město Albrechtice in the south, Heřmanovice in the south-west and Zlaté Hory in the Okres Jeseník in the west .

history

It was first mentioned in 1267. While the village had more than 1000 inhabitants in the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century, today only about 150 people live in the place. At the beginning of the 20th century, the place lost almost half of its inhabitants through emigration due to economic factors and the peripheral location created by the division of Silesia . Due to the expulsion of the German population in 1945, the number of inhabitants fell sharply to less than 300 inhabitants. From 1961 to 1990 the village was part of the Petrovice-Janov administrative community.
