geography
From the Rejvíz plateau, which is open to the north, there is a wide view of the Javorník plain and Poland . In the south, however, it is surrounded by the Ulrich chain of the Jeseníky Mountains . The original name Reihwiesen is older than the municipality and means something like meadows in a row or a row of meadows. The name has been changed a few times. The abbreviated Czech name Rejvíz appeared for the first time in the 1920s. In 1948 the then still independent municipality was officially renamed Rejvíz.
history
The first house was built in Altreihwiesen (Starý Rejvíz) in 1768 by Kajetan Beer as an inn on the former commercial salt road. It led from the Austrian salt mines through Moravia and over the saddle of Reihwiesen along the Black Oppa to Glatz and Silesia . Reihwiesen only got bigger in the last decade of the 18th century with the second German colonization. The inhabitants, who were predominantly of German, but also of Slavic origin and to whom the Wroclaw Bishop Philipp Gotthard von Schaffgotsch sold cheap land between 1747 and 1795, erected over 40 buildings and houses here by the end of the century. Over time, however, the Slavic population was Germanized. Before the Second World War there was an absolute German majority here. In Reihwiesen there was only one citizen of Czech origin, Pastor Jeronym Pavlik, who took over the parish in 1894 and served there until his death in 1938. He wrote the Chronicle of Row Meadows and Above Ground (Horní Údolí) as well as many poems in which he glorified this landscape. He is buried in the Rejvíz cemetery.
Before the Second World War , the community had about 400 inhabitants. There were many craftsmen, two shops, a savings bank, a post office, a school and as early as 1924 a gas station. The village was connected to the telephone network in 1928. Electric power has been generated for all of Reihwiesen since 1926 with the help of two diesel units. A municipal water pipe was laid as early as 1931 and is still in use today.
After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Empire and until 1945 belonged to the Freiwaldau district . After the Germans were expelled due to the Beneš decrees , only a few settlers from Moravia , Bohemia and Slovakia came to Rejvíz in autumn 1945 and in the following years . In 1947, 11 families of Slovak emigrants from Romania came to Rejvíz and in 1949, before Christmas, the Czechoslovak government accommodated about thirty families of Greek political emigrants here.
During communist rule, collectivization made the mountain village of Rejvíz devoid of prospects for intensive agriculture. Little by little, not only craftsmen and farmers left the place, but also the Romanian Slovaks and, in the 1980s, the Greeks, who moved back to their homeland. In the 1950s the place turned into a recreation center for the broad mass of the working population. In 1960 the village lost its independence and was placed under the administration of the city of Zlaté Hory , which was annexed to the Okres Bruntál . In 1996 the Okres Jeseník was re-established and Rejvíz and Zlaté Hory came back under the administration of the new district. In 1991 the place had 63 inhabitants. In 2001 the village consisted of 61 houses, in which 66 people lived.
Tourism has steadily gained in importance. The prerequisites were created by the population by renovating the old houses and converting them into accommodations.
