M at the confluence of the Tyra in the Olsa industrial city is home to the steel industry and food factories.

history

The first documentary mention comes from 1444.

In the first half of the 19th century it still belonged to agricultural areas that were owned by the Habsburgs .

The big turning point came when the Trzynietzer Eisenwerke were founded in 1839. Rich ore deposits, sufficient water energy and inexhaustible wood reserves were available in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids . That is why the Teschen Chamber recommended the owner Archduke Karl of Austria-Teschen to build iron works.

The Catholic Church of St. Albrecht was consecrated in 1885 and the Protestant Church on July 9, 1899.

During the Second World War, the steelworks included a forced labor camp , known as the Trinec-Borek internment camp, recognized as such by the Remembrance, Responsibility and Future Foundation . The Dresdner Bank was intertwined with it; it granted the "Berghütte Karwin- Trcynietz", as the place was written by the Germans, a credit of 442,275 Reichsmarks for the delivery of material to the Romanian state railway .

Steel mill

Třinec is an important center of the steel industry. In 1839 the Třinecké železárny ( Trzynietz steel works ) were founded. The construction of the Kaschau-Oderberg Railway in 1871, which connected Třinec with important ore deposits in Slovakia and enabled the transport of coal from Karviná , was important for the further development of the city . Today a third of the Czech steel production is located here .

The European route 75 runs through Třinec and joins the European route 462 a few kilometers north .
