History & geography

History

The settlement was mentioned in 1324. The town was colonized by Germans and the name Reinerz likely refers to the place Reinhards in Hesse. It was granted town rights in 1346. Until 1595 it remained in private hands. In 1769, the town obtained the status of a spa town. In 1822 a pump room was founded. The town suffered in the 1997 Central European flood.
