The original German name of the village Haindorf is based on the German Dorf im Haine, which means "village in the grove". The Czech name was derived from the German one and from háj, i.e. "grove".[2]

History

[edit]

According to legend, a pilgrimage church was founded here already in 1211. The first written mention of Hejnice is from 1381. In the 16th century, iron ore mines were opened. In 1692, count František Gallas established a Franciscan monastery, which helped the visibility of the village. In the 19th century, several textile factories were established in the village and its surroundings. The village of Hejnice was promoted to a town in 1917.[3]

In 1938, Hejnice was annexed by Nazi Germany. From 1938 to 1945, it was administered as part of the Reichsgau Sudetenland.
