etymology

Srbsko has the same meaning as Srbija in the Czech and Slovak languages .

history

Srbsko is mentioned for the first time in a surviving sales contract from 1428. Because of the name, some historians assume that Srbsko was founded by the Serbs from south-eastern Europe . The earlier establishment of the settlement by the Serbs or Sorbs is not excluded . The area was already settled by the Serbs in the early Middle Ages , as recorded for example in the De Administrando Imperio by Constantine VII Porphyrogennetus from the 10th century. This tells about the traditional departure of the Serbs (Serbloi) from Boiki in the vicinity of the Frankish Empire at the time of Herakleios at the beginning of the 7th century.

In 1846 Srbsko consisted of 33 houses with 255 inhabitants, including two Protestant families. There was a community school and an inn in the village. The parish was St. Johann . Until the middle of the 19th century the village remained subservient to the kk Tafel rulership of Karlstein in the Berauner district .

In 1902 a railway station was built in Srbsko and the small municipality was thus integrated into the national transport network. In 1938 Srbsko was connected to the electricity network. During the Second World War , Srbsko also suffered casualties. Some residents have been missing since 1942 after being transferred to the Theresienstadt concentration camp . Srbsko experienced severe flooding in 1981, with the bridge over the Berounka being badly affected.
