Hranice ((:ˈɦraɲɪtsɛ); (ドイツ語:Weißkirchen) or ''Mährisch Weißkirchen'') is a town in Moravia, the eastern Czech Republic. It is often called Hranice na Moravě ((:ˈɦraɲɪtsɛ ˈna moravjɛ)) to distinguish it from another town called Hranice in Bohemia. The deepest abyss in the Czech Republic, Hranice Abyss is located by the town. ==History== Until 1918, Hranice was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), in the district with the same name, one of the 34 ''Bezirkshauptmannschaften'' in Moravia.〔Die postalischen Abstempelungen auf den österreichischen Postwertzeichen-Ausgaben 1867, 1883 und 1890, Wilhelm KLEIN, 1967〕 The German name only was used before 1867 (including ''Weiskirchen'').〔Handbook of Austria and Lombardy-Venetia Cancellations on the Postage Stamp Issues 1850-1864, by Edwin MUELLER, 1961.〕 In 1883,〔Bartoš, Josef. 1978. ''Historický místopis Moravy a Slezska v letech 1848-1960: Okresy Přerov, Hranice, Kroměříž,'' vol. 6. Ostrava: Profil, p. 130.〕 Antonín Kunz (1859–1910)〔(The Kunz Mansion ) 〕 founded a company in Hranice for the repair and production of small farm machinery and then specialized in the production of windpumps and other pumps. The company became the largest factory for water pumps in Austria-Hungary. At the end of the 19th century, it also produced complete communal water systems (by 1912 it had done so for 1,056 towns and municipalities, as well as factories and large landowners). The Sigma Pumps company developed out of Kunz's company.〔(Sigma Pumps website )〕 In the days of Austria-Hungary,〔 in the interbellum Czechoslovakia, and during the communist era〔Gadourek, Ivan. "The Political Control of Czechoslovakia: Study in Social Control of a Soviet Satellite State", Kroese, 1953, (p.72 )〕 the city hosted a large military academy. Notable graduates include Archduke Wilhelm of Austria and Herman Potočnik. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hranice (Přerov District)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
