history
The Katharinaberg was an old place of pilgrimage and the highest elevation of the Arnau rule . When the St. The chapel consecrated to Catherine was built is not known.
After Friedrich II invaded Bohemia via Náchod during the War of the Bavarian Succession in 1778 , he had his headquarters built on the Kahlenberg ( Lysé vrchy ) near Kocléřov , while the Imperial and Royal Army raised his headquarters on the right bank of the Elbe and Joseph II for six weeks in the School of Nieder Oels opened . As the Kottwitzer parish chronicle reports, the Prussians avoided the Katharinaberg because, according to rumors, it was completely undermined by a tunnel system.
On the night of July 12th to 13th, 1832, a devastating storm hit the area. Lightning strikes burned down both the wooden chapel on the Katharinaberg and the church of St. Peter and Paul in Kottwitz . The settlement around the chapel Katharinadörfel consisted of six houses in 1834 and had 38 inhabitants. The Kottwitz pastor Ambrosius Schmid had a new stone chapel built on the Katharinaberg between 1832 and 1835, in which services were held six times a year.
After the end of the Second World War and the expulsion of most of the German residents, both the chapel and the settlement of Ves Svaté Kateřiny were left to decay. In 1961 the chapel and settlement were demolished. A T - Mobile transmission tower was built on the remains of the chapel around 2000.
