The original German name of the village was Hermannsdorff, meaning "Herman's village". It was gradually distorted into Hermsdorf. The Czech name was created by translation.[2]
Geographyedit
Heřmanice is located about 14 km (9 mi) north of Liberec, in a salient region of Frýdlant Hook on the border with Poland. The northern part of the municipal territory with the built-up area lies in the Frýdlant Hills. The southern part lies in the Jizera Mountains and includes the highest point of Heřmanice, the hill Lysý vrch at 643 m (2,110 ft) above sea level. The Oleška Stream flows through the municipality.
Historyedit
The first written mention of Heřmanice is from 1381. There is an even older mention in the Zittau annals, but the date of 1375 is only an estimate. Heřmanice was then part of the Frýdlant estate, owned by the Biberstein family until 1544. The Schwanitz family held the village from 1544 to 1668. In 1678, Heřmanice was again joined to the Frýdlant estate and was owned by the Clam-Gallas family.[3]
In 1900, a railway from Frýdlant to Zittau via Heřmanice was built. The railway was in service until 1976.[3]
In 1960, Heřmanice merged with the neighbouring municipality of Dětřichov. From 1986 to 1990, it was an administrative part of Frýdlant. Since 1 September 1990, it has been a separate municipality.[3][4]
The village was hit by floods in summer 2010. The whole infrastructure of the village was destroyed. Many houses were damaged, several houses were demolished. One woman died.[5]
A wooden observation tower was built in Heřmanice in 2012. It is 24 m (79 ft) high, has the shape of a tube topped by a dome, and 99 steps lead to the top.[8]
