History & geography

History

The first written mention of Ruda nad Moravou is from 1350. A church and parish were already there and the iron ore was mined. Until 1397, it was probably a part of the Zábřeh estate owned by the Sternberg family. From 1397 to 1447, it was owned by lords of Kravaře, who laid the foundation of an independent estate. Ruda was owned by the Tunkl of Brníčko family in 1447–1508, by Mikuláš Trčka of Lípa in 1508–1512, and by the Lords of Boskovice in 1512–1596. In 1596, Ruda was separated from the Zábřeh estate and sold to the Zierotin family. Lord Bernard of Zierotin had built a Renaissance castle here in 1610. After the Battle of White Mountain, the properties of the Zierotins were confiscated and Ruda was acquired by the Liechtenstein family. The village was then heavily stroke by events of Thirty Years' War. The Liechtensteins owned it until 1848. In 1896, the municipality was divided to two parts, the Czech Horní Ruda ('upper Ruda') and the Sudeten German Dolní Ruda ('lower Ruda'). This two municipalities were united again in 1920. The German-speaking population was expelled after World War II. In 1960, the village of Hostice was joined to Ruda nad Moravou. In 1980, Hrabenov was joined.
