history

The basis for today's village was a glassworks founded by the Lords of Pernstein before 1559 , which was one of the oldest in the area. The hut by the Fryšávka brook, which used to be called Vříšť, belonged to the Neustadtl lordship from 1564 and was famous for its fine, pure and subtle glasses. The Pernstein welcome goblet from before 1582 was probably also made in the glassworks. The brownish cup, decorated in enamel colors with the coats of arms of Vratislav von Pernstein and his wife Maria Manriquez de Lara, is the oldest testimony to the glass art of the Pernstein reign and is now kept in Buchlov Castle.

Simon Kratzer von Schönsberg, who had leased the rule from the Dietrichsteiners since 1638 , planned the development of the iron deposits in the south of the Saar mountains. Because of the Thirty Years War the plans could not be realized and in 1645 Kratzer was shot by the Swedes. His son Franz Maximilian Kratzer implemented his father's ideas after the end of the war. In 1651 he had three iron hammers built with fresh fire in Vříšť, Kuklík and Líšná , which processed the pig iron melted in the Kadau blast furnace. Over time, the glassworks and hammer people cleared the forests in the vicinity of the works and built houses. A village emerged from the individual blows and in 1666 it was first listed under the villages of the Neustadtler rule. The glassworks probably consisted of two smelters and there is evidence that it was in operation until the beginning of the 18th century. It is believed that it went out around the same time as the Frischauer Glashütte, which was closed in 1738 . A mill also belonged to the glassworks. From 1741 to Wrzischt a Drahthammer is detectable, which is a 1746 Zainhammer was expanded. The oldest seal from Wrzischt dates from 1749. Wrzischt was the seat of a shift supervisor's office that performed mining functions and also supervised the Kadau ironworks. In 1825 the trade route from Nové Město na Moravě to Svratka was established . Until 1848 the place remained subject to the rule Neustadtl.

After the abolition of patrimonial Vříšt formed from 1850 a municipality in the political district of Neustadtl . In the second half of the 19th century, the Kadauer Eisenwerke began to decline. In 1864 the shift foreman was relocated from Wrzischt to Kadau. The building was then used as a retirement home for retired officials of the rule. Ten years later, the Kadau ironworks and the Wrzischt hammer mills were shut down. After the hammers went out, most of the workers left the place. The population fell rapidly. The lower hammer was converted into a hydropower plant in 1910, which from 1913 also supplied electricity to Německé . In 1948 a spinning mill was built in it, the buildings are now part of the Líšná cadastre. In 1949 the place was assigned to the Okres Žďár nad Sázavou . In 1960 it was incorporated into Sněžné . The mill was converted into a feed mill in the 1960s, which ceased production in 1990. In 1991 the place had 49 inhabitants. In 2001 the village consisted of 26 houses in which 41 people lived.
