history
In 1267 Heinrich von Waldau certified the establishment of the town. On March 8, 1267, the then mayor Berthold from Freudenthal, as landlord, gave the locator Heinrich von Waldau a 52-lane forest, which at that time was already called Lichtewerden, for clearing and establishing a village. Lichtewerden was founded as a pure farming village, which is proven by its arrangement as a row village with forest hooves, but even before the founding of the mountain town of Engelsberg in 1556, gold and silver mining played an important role in Lichtewerden. During the First World War, the place had 26 dead and in the Second World War 70 dead or missing. On June 12, 1960, the communities Andělská Hora with Pustá Rudná ( Engelsberg mit Lauterseifen ) and Světlá ( Lichtewerden ) were united to form one municipality Světlá Hora, in the Světlá the district Světlá Hora I and Andělská Hora the district Světlá Hora II . In 1964, the incorporation of Dětřichovice ( Dittersdorf ) and Suchá Rudná with Stará Voda ( Dürr soaps with Altwasser ) as part of Světlá Hora II. These official district names could not prevail among the population and have not been used more since 1971. In 1980 the municipality Rudná pod Pradědem (was Vogelseifen ), consisting of the districts of Nová Rudná ( New Vogelseifen ), Stará Rudná ( Alt-Vogelseifen ) and Podlesí ( re Green ) incorporated. After the Velvet Revolution, the districts of Nová Rudná ( new bird soaps ) and Stará Rudná ( old bird soaps ) as well as Andělská Hora ( Engelsberg ) and Pustá Rudná ( Lauterseifen ) broke away again and formed the communities Rudná pod Pradědem ( bird soaps ) and Andělská Hora ( Engelsberg ).

Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
On May 31, 1901, the Freudenthal - Klein Mohrau railway line was officially opened . The common train station with Engelsberg was called Engelsberg-Lichtewerden, but was clearly in the Lichtewerden district. There was an additional Lichtewerden stop at the entrance to the town.
Companies
In 1861 the flax yarn spinning and twisting mill in Lichtewerden was built as the "lower factory" of the flax spinning mill Josef Kühnel / Engelsberg. The last owner, a farmer Kneifel from Alt-Vogelseifen, put it down in 1896 and had it removed.
On August 26, 1864, the "upper factory" was founded by the Johann Schleser & Co. company as a flax spinning mill. In 1866 the company was operated as "United Flax Spinning Mills Lichtewerden, Messendorf and Würbenthal in Lichtewerden" by the joint stock company Brandhuber and Primavesi, Olomouc. In 1924 it was sold to the Pinkus & Fränkel company in Neustadt / Upper Silesia. In 1930/31 the spinning mill was sold first to Norbert Langer und Sohn, Deutsch-Liebau and then to the Buhl brothers in Mährisch-Altstadt. These remained the owners of the "United flax spinning mills and textile works GA Buhl Sohn, Mährisch-Altstadt, Lichtewerden spinning mill" until they were expelled in 1945. A satellite camp of the Auschwitz concentration camp was operated here from November 1944 to January 1945. On December 30, 1944, 300 prisoners were registered there.
In 1875 the first "Altvater-Urquell-Liqueur" was brewed by Fridolin Springer and a branch was added in the 6th district of Vienna. Another liqueur manufacturer was Rudolf Wilhelm, who launched the herbal liqueur "Altvater Sternmarke" in 1922, which was produced in the Federal Republic of Germany as the "Freudenthaler Sternmarke" after Ernst Wilhelm was driven out.
