Stará Červená Voda (German Alt Rothwasser ) is a municipality in the Okres Jeseník in Olomoucký kraj in the Czech Republic. It is located in the valley of the Červený potok , 13 kilometers north of Jeseník .

history

The later Alt Rothwasser was first mentioned in a document in 1284 as "Roitwasser". The Latin name "Ruffa aqua" is documented for the year 1310. The name was derived from the color of the stream flowing through the place. It belonged to the Vogtei Weidenau and with this to the Neiss diocese , in which from 1290 the Wroclaw bishops exercised not only spiritual but also secular power. Like the Principality of Neisse, Rothwasser came under Bishop Preczlaw von Pogarell in 1342 as a fiefdom to the Crown of Bohemia , which the Habsburgs held from 1526 .

In the 15th century silver was mined in the area and the village was then subject to the episcopal castle Kaltenštejn . After its decline it belonged to the Ottmachau district and later to the Friedeberg district . After Neu Rothwasser was founded , the place name Alt Rothwasser became common for Rothwasser in the 16th century . The village often changed hands and was gradually split into several parts. The owner of the Vorwerk was around 1579 Hans Sitsch, who is believed to be a relative of Bishop Johann VI. von Sitsch was. In the last quarter of the 16th century the governor of Neiss , Christoph von Maltitz , who called himself von Hertwigswalde and Rothwasser, owned Rothwasser († 1611). During the Thirty Years War the place was devastated and abandoned, but soon it was settled again.

After the First Silesian War , in which almost all of Silesia fell to Prussia in 1742 , the principality of Neisse also had to be divided. Rothwasser remained with the south of the diocese in Bohemia. During the Third Silesian War in 1759, around forty thousand Austrian soldiers were housed in Rothwasser. In 1836 1180 people lived in Alt Rothwasser, clay was mined, fruit was grown and agriculture was carried out.

After the abolition of patrimonial rule , the community of Rothwasser / Červená Voda was established in the judicial district of Weidenau in 1849 . The districts of Alt-Rothwasser / Stará Červená Voda , Nieder-Rothwasser / Dolní Červená Voda , Neu-Rothwasser / Nová Červená Voda , Johannaburg , Neu Kleinkrosse and Stachlowitz belonged to the municipality . From 1869 the community belonged to the Freiwaldau district; at the same time the incorporation of Weidenau Vogtei took place . At the end of the 19th century the name of the municipality was changed to Altrothwasser / Stará Červená Voda after the largest part of the village . In 1918 Alt Rothwasser fell to Czechoslovakia and received the official place name Stará Červená Voda. In 1924 the districts of Neu Kleinkrosse, Stachlowitz and Weidenau Vogtei were reassigned to Weidenau . In 1930 the community consisted of 2101 inhabitants, in 1939 there were 2061. After the Munich Agreement , the community was added to the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the Freiwaldau district . During the Second World War , two prison camps were maintained in the place, which was mainly populated by Germans. In 1945/46 the Germans were expropriated and driven out . In 1947 there were 930 inhabitants.
