ⓘ (Polish: ⓘ,[2] Template:Lang-de) is a village in Frýdek-Místek District, Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic. It is the second easternmost village of the country (after neighboring Bukovec), lying near the borders with Poland and Slovakia. In 2001 census six people (2% of the inhabitants) declared Polish nationality and 96.7% declared Roman Catholic faith.[3]
It is situated on the foothills of the Silesian Beskids mountain range, in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia.
History
The settlement was first mentioned in 1778 as Hertiawa.[4] It was initially a hamlet of Jaworzynka, which belonged then to the Duchy of Teschen, a fee of Kingdom of Bohemia and a part of the Habsburg Monarchy.
Geographical shifts
A series of major conflicts in the first half of the Twentieth Century would lead to the Jaworzynka region – and Hrčava specifically – changing hands multiple times:
- In 1920, Jaworzynka became a part of the Poland following
- World War I;
- the fall of Austria-Hungary;
- the Polish–Czechoslovak War; and
- the division of Cieszyn Silesia.
- Following protests by the citizens of the hamlet, in 1924, Hrčava was separated from Jaworzynka and transferred to Czechoslovakia.
- Following the Munich Agreement, in October 1938, together with the Zaolzie region, it was annexed by Poland, administratively adjoined to Cieszyn County of Silesian Voivodeship.[5]
- It was then annexed by Nazi Germany at the beginning of World War II.
- After the war, it was restored to Czechoslovakia.
- After the fall of Communism in Europe and the Soviet Union, and the subsequent dissolution of Czechoslovakia, Hrčava narrowly fell within the borders of the Czech Republic, near the tripoint with Poland and Slovakia.
