Hraničky () is a settlement and municipal part of Uhelná in Jeseník District in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic. It has 6 inhabitants. The village almost disappeared after World War II and today only one house remains.

Geography

Hraničky is located in the southern part of the territory of Uhelná, about 19 km northwest of Jeseník and 82 km north of Olomouc, next to the Czech-Polish state border. It lies in the Golden Mountains.

History

Hraničky was founded 1785 and administratively was part of Nové Vilémovice. The settlers were exclusively ethnic German, which were mainly lumberjacks from the area of Staré Město and Králíky. In addition to working in the forest, herding, and modest agriculture, the local people also made their living by collecting grass seeds from mountain meadows. Due to its location on the state border with the Kingdom of Prussia, smuggling was also common. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Chapel of Saint Joseph was built. A school was built in 1885.

After World War II, the German-speaking inhabitants were expelled. All but four families were expelled from Hraničky, but in 1949, the village remained completely empty. The Czechs were not interested in moving into the mountain village. In the early 1950s, the former resident Franz Schlegel and his family (all of whom successfully avoided the expulsion of Germans) moved back to his house, which thus saved from demolition. The rest of the village, however, remained unoccupied and therefore in 1959 the Czechoslovak communist government decided to completely destroy the settlement.
