history

The settlement probably originated at the beginning of the 17th century on a trade route leading from Silesia to the County of Glatz , which crosses the mountains here on a pass. To Ausspanne "For the Rosary", whose name is derived from a Glatzer Marie-portrait with rosaries, created some houses. Rosenkranz was first mentioned in a document in 1638.

When the principality of Neisse was divided , the village belonging to Gut Weißwasser remained with Austria in 1742 after the preliminary peace of Breslau . On August 29, 1779, Emperor Joseph II climbed the Kleiner Jauersberg and visited the Prussian border; the rock on which the emperor stood was then called the Kaiserstein . At the end of the 18th century, Goethe is said to have been in Rosenkranz. The Chapel of St. Anthony of Padua was built at the beginning of the 19th century. At that time the place had grown to ten houses.

In 1836 the village of Rosenkranz, located on the border with the county of Glatz, consisted of 11 houses in which 63 German-speaking people lived. There was a chapel in the village. The main source of income was arable farming, which was not very profitable because of the cold and stony soil. The parish and school location was Weißwasser. Rosenkranz remained subject to Gut Weißwasser until the middle of the 19th century .

After the abolition of patrimonial Rosenkranz formed from 1849 a district of the market town of Weißwasser in the judicial district of Jauernig . From 1869 Rosenkranz belonged to the Freiwaldau district. The Czech place name Růženec was introduced at the end of the 19th century. In 1890 Rosenkranz consisted of 12 houses and had 33 residents. Müller's inn in Rosenkranz became a popular destination at that time; the majority of the guests came from the German Empire . In 1900 47 people lived in the 12 houses. At the beginning of the 20th century, some of the residents earned their living as bricklayers and workers in Reichenstein as well as seasonal work in the forest. One of Rosenkranz's houses was used as a forester's house. After the founding of Czechoslovakia , a Czechoslovak finance watch was set up in Rosenkranz with two officers who monitored the road leading from Weißwasser to Schönau , Glatz and Landeck . At the census of 1921, 34 people, including 23 Germans, lived in the 8 houses in the village. After the National Socialist seizure of power in Germany, SA units temporarily occupied the access to the border. German border tourism to Rosenkranz stagnated during this time. After the Munich Agreement , the village was assigned to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Freiwaldau district until 1945 . When the Red Army marched in in 1945, the chapel was devastated by drunken Soviet soldiers. After the end of the Second World War, Růženec came back to Czechoslovakia; With the exception of one family, the German-speaking residents were expelled to Germany in 1945/46 . In 1949 the Fischer family moved to Bílá Voda, and in 1950 the village no longer had permanent residents. The local National Committee Bílá Voda had the Chapel of St. Demolish Anthony to stop the annual pilgrimages on June 13th. Seven of the eight houses in Růženec were razed to the ground in the 1950s. During the territorial reform of 1960, the Okres Jeseník was abolished and Růženec was incorporated into the Okres Šumperk . Since 1996 Růženec has been part of the Okres Jeseník again.

Today only the former forester's house and a mighty linden tree remain from Růženec. Much of the former land with the rubble of the houses is overgrown.
