history

The Theresienfeld colony was founded in 1804 by the owner of the Kohlsdorf estate , Joseph Rennert, and named in memory of his mother Theresa.

In 1836, the Theresienfeld colony, which was mostly in the Grund, partly on the heights, consisted of 49 houses in which 317 German-speaking people lived. The main sources of income were cereal and flax growing and daily wages. The children went to school in Kohlsdorf. The parish was Niklasdorf . Theresienfeld remained subordinate to Gut Kohlsdorf until the middle of the 19th century .

After the abolition of patrimonial , Theresienfeld formed a district of the Kohlsdorf community in the Freiwaldau judicial district from 1849 . From 1869 Theresienfeld belonged to the Freiwaldau district. In 1887 a one-class village school was opened in Theresienfeld . The Czech place name Terezín was introduced in the early 1920s. In the 1921 census, 297 people lived in the 50 houses in the village, including 262 Germans and three Czechs. In 1930 Theresienfeld consisted of 51 houses and had 288 inhabitants. After the Munich Agreement , the village was assigned to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Freiwaldau district until 1945 . After the end of the Second World War, Terezín came back to Czechoslovakia; most of the German-speaking residents were expelled in 1945/46 . The school was closed in 1945. Because of the border location, there was only a small number of new settlements, most of the houses including the chapel of St. Florian were demolished in the late 1950s. The border settlement of Domsdorf colony on the now Polish side disappeared completely. During the territorial reform of 1960, the Okres Jeseník was abolished and Terezín was incorporated into the Okres Šumperk . In 1961 it was incorporated into Mikulovice. At the beginning of 1976 Terezín lost the status of a district of Mikulovice. Since 1996 Terezín has been part of the Okres Jeseník again. In the 2001 census, there were 21 people living in the 8 houses in Terezín.
