history
Velká Kraš was probably created by German settlers in the course of the colonization of the border forests in the time of Ottokar I Přemysl . It is unclear whether there were individual small settlements between Haugsdorf and Schubertskrosse or a large village of Krosse (Kraš), which comprised Fojtova Kraš , Malá Kraš , Velká Kraš, Šubertova Kraš and Hugova Kraš (Hukovice) over a length of about six kilometers which then in 1264 the city of Vidnava was founded. The first written mention of the village took place in 1291 in connection with the Weidenauer Vogtei , whose four Hufen belonged to Velká Kraš. The village, which has been documented there since 1256, belonged to the estates of the Ottmachau castellanei , to which the church tithe also went. Over time, the names Bernardova Kraš (Bernhardskrosse), Petrova Kraš (Peterskrosse), Henzchova Kraš (Hentschkrosse), Rudgerova Kraš (Rudgerskrosse), Sifriedova Kraš (Siegfriedskrosse), Dlouhá Kraš (Lange Krosse), Třetí (third) , Čtvrtá (district) and Jiná Kraš (other Krosse) for parts of the place. 1326 existed in Fojtova Kraš, Henczkova Kraš and Hugova Kraš school seats. In 1428, Krosse and Weidenau were captured by the Hussites and burned down. In 1506, the diocese of Breslau regained control of Groß Krosse. In the middle of the 16th century a distinction was made between the "Schlachte side" (Velká Kraš) on the flat left bank and the "Lame side" (Malá Kraš) on the stony and barren right bank. Reconstruction was slow. In 1580 the village consisted of 42 farmers, 6 of whom belonged to Schulzen, as well as two hereditary gardeners and 31 other properties. During the Thirty Years War, Großgrosse was devastated in 1633. In 1697 the diocese acquired the entire village by exchanging the episcopal share of Jungferndorf for the Schulzen share of Großgrosse. In 1722 large-scale consisted of 57 farms. Granite mining began in the 18th century. In 1777 Johann Zothe founded the first granite grinding and sawing shop, which was later expanded to include a branch in Setzdorf . Due to the division of Silesia in 1742, the border with Prussian Silesia was drawn north of the place , Großgrosse remained with the Austrian part . In 1811 616 people lived in the 121 houses of the village and in 1843 there were 825.
After the abolition of patrimonial , Großgrosse formed a community in the Freiwaldau district from 1850 to which the districts of Haugsdorf, Kleingrosse and Voigtsgrosse were added in 1869. To the south of the village, Friedeberger granite was mined in numerous quarries . With the construction of the railway from Niederlindewiese to Jauernig in 1896, Haugsdorf received a railway connection. In 1897, the branching local railway line from Haugsdorf via Großgrosse to Weidenau was inaugurated, which was continued in 1912 by Neisser Kreisbahn AG in the German Empire to Neisse . A train station was built in Großgrosse, and the "Weidenau" train station was also built on the corridors of Großgrosse. In 1930 the community, which was first named Großkrosse and then Groß Krosse since the 20th century, had 1643 inhabitants. After the Munich Agreement , Groß Krosse was added to the German Reich and belonged to the Freiwaldau district from 1939 to 1945 . The population in 1939 was 1587. After the Second World War, the German residents were expelled . At the beginning of 1961 the community came to Okres Šumperk and in 1976 was incorporated into Vidnava . In 1968 the former Habichtbaude was converted into a children's holiday camp as Chata Mír. A holiday camp for the children of professional soldiers was also set up in Habina. From July 31 to August 3, 1975, the community was hit by severe flooding. The Hukovice railway station was renamed "Velká Kraš" in 1978. The following year the local school was closed and the children were retrained to the elementary school in Vidnava. After a renovation, a kindergarten opened in the school building in 1983. The municipality of Velká Kraš has existed again since 1990 and since the beginning of 1996 it has belonged to Okres Jeseník . The municipality has had a coat of arms since 2000.
