History & geography

History

The first written mention of Liptaň is from 1256. It was founded around 1240. For most of its history, it was a fief of the Olomouc bishopric or it was administered directly by the Olomouc bishops. The event known as the Liptaň Tragedy happened on 22 September 1938. Radicalised German villagers attacked the gendarmerie station and disarmed and assassinated all six Czech members of the State Defense Guard. The gendarme officers' bodies were transported over the border to the German town of Leobschütz (now Głubczyce, Poland) where they were buried in an unmarked mass grave.

Geography

Liptaň is located about north of Bruntál and northwest of Ostrava. It is situated in the Osoblažsko microregion. It lies in the Zlatohorská Highlands. The highest point is the hill Kobyla at above sea level, located on the southern municipal border. South of the village of Liptaň is situated the Liptaňský bludný balvan Nature Monument with one of the largest glacial erratics in the Czech Republic. Reminding of the period 250–800 thousand years ago, the boulder was carried there by a continental glacier from the south of Sweden. Its weight is about 4.7 tonnes.
