history

The village was probably founded in the first half of the 13th century during the reclamation of the area by the Břevnov monastery . It is believed that it was named after a locator Rupert . The first written mention of the place took place in 1255 in the Cantica canticorum as the northern border of the Braunauer Stiftland . The first mention of the church comes from 1256. In the Codex juris Boemicae of 1355 the village was referred to as Ruperti villa , later it was called Ruprechtsdorff in the Braunau city ​​book . The Ruprechtsdorf parish became extinct during the Thirty Years' War, and the church became a branch church of Deutsch Wernersdorf . The parish dedication was preserved . On August 18, 1720 the foundation stone was laid for a new church; in April 1723 it was consecrated by the abbot Othmar Daniel Zinke . There was a school near the church in which the children from Heinzendorf and the lower part of Dittersbach were also taught. In 1780 the village of Grenzdörfel was founded on Ruppersdorf's rustic grounds. In Ruppersdorf two trade routes from the Glatzer Land over the Heidelgebirge to Bohemia merged; the Glashüttensteig, coming from the glassmaking village of Freudenburg, ran east of the Spitzberg, the path from Reimswaldau led west around the Spitzberg through the water bed ( Vodní strž ).

In 1833 the village of Ruppersdorf or Ruprechtice , located in the Königgrätzer Kreis , consisted of 166 houses in which 1,039 people lived. The main source of income was agriculture, linen trade, spinning and weaving. There was a branch church of St. Apostle James the Elder, a school, an inn, three limestone quarries and lime kilns as well as three mills including the single-layer pond mill located in the Steinetal near Heinzendorf . The parish was German Wernersdorf. The village remained subject to the Braunau monastery until the middle of the 19th century .

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Ruppersdorf / Ruprechtice in 1849 with the district border Dörfel a municipality in the judicial district of Braunau . In 1868 Ruppersdorf was assigned to the Braunau district . In 1872 a new school building was built in Mitteldorf. The main line Chotzen-Halbstadt-Braunau was built between 1873 and 1875 , with the Ruppersdorf stop at the Goldener Latschen inn in Niederdorf . The Halbstadt railway houses ( Nádražní čtvrť ) and the Kulmiz factory, in which fireclay bricks were produced, were laid out on the south-western corridor at Halbstadt station . In 1885 the community had 1,455 inhabitants, 1,376 of them Germans and 79 Czechs, most of whom lived in the Halbstadt railway houses. The limestone quarries were operated until the beginning of the 20th century; the quicklime was sold as far as Waldenburg , from where the carters brought hard coal with them to fire the lime kilns. Other businesses were the Karl Hofmann roller mill, a board saw and a construction company. In 1900 there were 1495 people in Ruppersdorf, including 1428 Germans and 52 Czechs; the community area covered 1297 hectares. In 1908 the schoolhouse was enlarged; The increase in the community levy decided in advance for this was the reason for the residents of the Grenzdörfel district to move to Wiesen in 1905. In 1913 Ruppersdorf had 1,370 inhabitants, in 1920 there were 1,319. The stately porphyry quarry was shut down in 1914. In 1928, the Vereinigte Chamottefabriken AG, formerly Kulmiz, ceased operations in Ruppersdorf. In 1930 there were 1271 people in the community. After the Munich Agreement , Ruppersdorf was added to the German Reich in autumn 1938 and belonged to the Braunau district until 1945 . In 1939 the population had dropped to 1,035. After the end of the Second World War, Ruprechtice came back to Czechoslovakia and the German population was expelled . In the course of the territorial reform of 1960 the Okres Broumov was abolished, since then Ruprechtice belongs to the Okres Náchod. In 1961 only 750 people lived in Ruprechtice. In the same year Hynčice was incorporated. Since the beginning of 1986 Ruprechtice has been part of Meziměstí.

In 1991 Ruprechtice had 377 inhabitants. In 2001 the village consisted of 145 houses and 350 inhabitants.
