Rájec (German Raitza ) is a district of the municipality Tisá in Okres Ústí nad Labem in the Czech Republic .
geography
The place Rájec is located two kilometers north of Tisá at an altitude of 485 m in the west of Bohemian Switzerland, right on the border with Germany. It is located to the right of the Raitzabach (Rájecký potok) on a slope below the Raitzaer Felsen (Rájecké skály).
history
The first mention of Raitza comes from 1186.
The scattered settlement stretched between the road from Tyssa to the Kleppisch hammer mill and the Raitzabaches up to its confluence with the Loschebach (Olšový potok) on the border with Saxony. The Lindenschenke, close to the border, has been documented in Matthias Oeder's regional survey since 1600 . A stone chapel was built next to it.
Raitza has been part of Tisá since 1850, where it has always been parish. The inhabitants were mostly forest workers. Since the 19th century, many of the Raitza residents have been earning their living in the Tyssa button factory.
To the left of the Raitzabach brook as far as the Loschebach brook, the small town of Neuhof ( Nový Dvůr ) was established in 1824 , which today belongs to Peterswald and of which only one house has survived . The rocks have been developed since the beginning of the 20th century, the first ascent was the Raitzanadel from 1905. In 1930 Raitza had 279 inhabitants.
After the Second World War, the Germans were expelled and the place was only sparsely repopulated. While the houses near the border were demolished to create a restricted zone and only the chapel remained there, other buildings in the upper village fell into disrepair due to wind and weather. Today, Raitza consists almost entirely of holiday homes.
Attractions
Sights worth mentioning are four well-preserved log houses in post construction, which have meanwhile been declared cultural monuments. The baroque niche chapel, which has been documented since 1797 and was restored in 2001, can also be visited.
Raitza rocks
The Raitzaer Felsen (Rájecké skály), which rise east of the village, are a continuation of the sandstone area of the Tyssaer walls to the northwest, to which the Hohe Brand, the spruce walls and the Zeisigstein adjoin on the German side. The rock area has been developed since the beginning of the 20th century. The first ascent of the Raizanadel ( Bumbrlíček ) took place on May 20, 1905 by Walter Lehmann and Richard Finke. There are numerous ascent points along the rock walls and the area is less frequented in contrast to the Tyssa walls. This also gives better opportunities to first walk new paths. The Czech climber Karel Bělina was able to redevelop some rocks in 2005.
