Etymology
The initial name of Chřibská was Křípčice (in Old Czech written as Křiepčice). The name has probably its origin in the personal name Chřáp. From 1363, the forms Křípská and Křiepská began to appear, from which the current name later evolved.
Geography
Geography
Chřibská is located about 21 km northeast of Děčín and 38 km northeast of Ústí nad Labem. Most of the municipal territory lies in the Lusatian Mountains and in the eponymous protected landscape area. The western part of the territory extends into the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and a small part of Chřibská also lies in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park. The highest point is the hill Spravedlnost at 533 m above sea level. The Chřibská Kamenice River flows through the town.
History
History
The first written mention of Chřibská is from 1352. It was part of the Kamenice estate, owned by the Wartenberg family until 1614, when it was bought by the Kinsky family. Town rights were granted in 1570. Along with other parts of the former Austrian Empire, Chřibská became part of Czechoslovakia in 1919. From 1938 to 1945, after the Munich Agreement, Chřibská was annexed by Nazi Germany and administered as part of the Reichsgau Sudetenland. The expulsion of Germans after World War II in 1945–1946 reduced the population. In 2006, the town status was returned to Chřibská.
