history

The village of Lewendorf was founded a few years before 1265. This emerges from a document issued by King Ottokar II in 1265, in which Konrad von Lewendorf was commissioned to found the town of Politschka. In this document the village is mentioned as existing. According to various sources, the colonists came from Upper Franconia. They were trained in clearing closed forest areas at an altitude of more than 600 meters and making fields and meadows out of it.

The Zwittau local politician and local researcher Karl Lick (1859-1935) (Ps. Carol), chief director of the Zwittauer Sparkasse, 1918 to 1935 mayor of the city, 1929 honorary citizen, writes in his book "The history of the city of Zwittau and its surroundings" published in 1910: “The village of Laubendorf does not owe its existence to the colonization that began in Politschka in 1265, but to a somewhat older colonization, the starting point of which is the Fürstenberg / Swojanow Castle. - Only Riegersdorf was settled from Politschka. ”- At another point in his book Lick writes:“ Laubendorf owes its existence to that Konrad von Lewendorf, who built the town of Politschka ”. - Lick does not give any sources for his statements. However, the following fact speaks for Lick's statement: In 1557 the rulers of Svojanov Castle (this name had meanwhile replaced the original name "Fürstenberg"), the brothers Hertwig and Johann Zehusicky, divided their property into three administrative parts, the Svojanov share, the Laubendorfer part and the Kurau part. Laubendorf's neighboring village, Riegersdorf, is not among the 30 named villages. Riegersdorf always belonged to the Politschka rule until the abolition of the manorial rule by Emperor Josef II , while the Laubendorf residents were under the rule of Bistrau, which was Svojanover area. - From this it must be concluded that Konrad von Lewendorf, before he set about founding the town of Politschka, had created villages on the land that belonged to Fürstenberg Castle, including Laubendorf. Perhaps the promise to him that he could run an inn in Laubendorf came from that time. - There are only guesses about the origin of the locator . None of them hold up well.

It took over 90 years before the place was mentioned a second time: In the document in which Pope Clement VI. in 1350 the founding of the diocese Leitomischl is confirmed, "Lauwendorf" is confirmed as a parish belonging to this diocese. In 1557 and 1592 the first names of the villagers can be found in 2 documents. The land records issued by the Herrschaft Bistrau name 79 names in the first case, including approx. 40 farmers, in the second case 102 names. Both documents contain almost only German family names, although there has been a language border to the neighboring town of Politschka / Polička since the 2nd quarter of the 15th century.

The steady increase in the number of properties over the centuries shows that the colonization was successful. This development experienced only one interruption when around 1600 7 farmers from the Unterort were cut off so that the bishopric landlord could set up his farm. During the Thirty Years War there was a stagnation in the growth of houses; But all 14 farms and cottages, which were desolate as a result of the chaos of war, had an owner again 30 years after the end of the war. In the second half of the 18th century, Empress Maria Theresa lifted the ban on the division of farms, so that many cottages were built in the period that followed. There was a further strong increase in the number of properties in the period of the First Czechoslovakia , when the local Raiffeisenkasse founded at the end of the 19th century was able to issue low-interest loans.

The eastern border is the border with Moravia . Since the beginning of the Hussite Wars , the western local border has also been the language border with Czech. Nevertheless, the Czech village name Limberk only came into use after 1540 among the now Czech inhabitants of the city of Politschka.

In 1938 there were around 1750 inhabitants in Laubendorf, 94% of whom were Germans and 6% Czech. The inhabitants were almost without exception Catholic.

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

After the Second World War in May 1945, the German residents were forced to leave the place in the course of the expulsion of the Germans from Czechoslovakia . The first third of the population was expelled into the Soviet occupation zone on July 13, 1945. The list of names of these expellees has been lost. There is, however, a letter which states that 500 people are to be evicted. Most of the rest of the residents were deported to the American occupation zone in several transports in 1946. The lists of names of the transports on March 26, 1946, June 3 and 4, 1946 and July 3, 1946 are archived in the Státní oblastní archiv Zámrsk. The village was renamed Pomezí in 1950.

Attractions
