Podlesí , until 1949 Krumperky (German Grumberg ) is a district of the municipality of Malá Morava in the Czech Republic . He belongs to the Okres Šumperk .

geography

Podlesí is located three kilometers southeast of Malá Morava in the Glatzer snow mountains at an altitude between 570 and 646 m on the slope of the Pohořelec ( Oberbrenntenberg ) on Kamenný potok, which flows north of the village into the March .

history

Grumberg was founded by the owner of the Eisenberg estate , Johann von Žerotín in 1598 as part of the expansion of the estate up to the March . The name of the town is derived from its location on the "Krummen Berg". Another explanation is that the name is derived from "Grummet", the last hay harvest of the year that was harvested on Oberbrenntenberg. Johann's son Bernhard von Žerotín granted Grumberg various privileges in 1612. So the Grumbergers got the right to found guilds, to do business, to build a town hall and to build a mill and a sawmill. The council received the right to allocate the town's land to the citizens for building houses, police law and administrative law.

The first inhabitants of Grumberg were very likely settlers who immigrated from Franconia . This assumption is based on the dialect spoken by the residents of Grumberg. It was similar to the dialect that is still spoken in Franconia today. In 1680 a Catholic priest came to Grumberg and in 1683 the church, which was consecrated to St. Mary Magdalene, was built. Around 1670 Grumberg had 75 inhabitants, there were 39 farmers, 12 innkeepers, 21 craftsmen and a few cottagers. This year, the arable land was also significantly expanded through clearing. The population grew, and in 1793 there were 129 houses with 916 inhabitants in Grumberg. The city later lost more and more of its importance and sank back down to the village. In 1921 there were 669 exclusively Catholic residents in Grumberg. Of these, 652 were Germans, 9 Czechs and 8 foreigners.

The inhabitants of Grumberg lived mainly from agriculture, grain, wheat, oats, potatoes and flax were grown. Since the 1920s there have been three inns, 3 grocery stores and a few craft shops. The manufacture of twisted buttons was also a line of business. Grumberg had a central water supply and, through power generation in the mill, also a central power supply and street lighting. In the years after 1930 tourism developed, and especially in summer many holidaymakers came to Grumberg.

In 1932 the North Moravian Building was built on the Oberbrenntenberg, which could be reached on foot in about 30 minutes. In 1962 the Severomoravská chata was destroyed by fire and rebuilt.

Numerous radioactive sources in the vicinity of Grumberg would have justified the development of Grumberg into a health resort. A park with a fountain was created next to the town hall on Grumberg's Ringplatz. The municipality of Grumberg also included the district of Krummwasser ( Křivá Voda ), which is located at an altitude of between 540 and 680 m approx. 1.5 km northeast of Grumberg.

After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Empire and until 1945 belonged to the Mährisch Schönberg district .

In 1946 the German residents were expelled. The Czech name Grumbergs was changed from Krumperky to Podlesí in 1949 . An attempt was made to repopulate Podlesí, but many of the empty houses fell into disrepair and had to be demolished. Most of the newly settled residents left Podlesí again because of a lack of work opportunities. Since 1980 it has belonged to the Malá Morava municipality as a district . In 1990 there were 99 inhabitants in Podlesí. In 2001 the village consisted of 36 houses in which 111 people lived.
