History
The first written mention of Stará Červená Voda is in a deed from 1291, which described the situation in 1266.[3] It was then part of the Duchy of Nysa within fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. Later on, along with the Duchy of Nysa, it passed under Bohemian suzerainty, and following the duchy's dissolution in 1850, it was incorporated directly into Bohemia. Following World War I, from 1918, it formed part of Czechoslovakia.
From 1938 to 1945, the municipality was occupied by Germany. It was the base for a German-operated working party (E433) of British and Commonwealth prisoners of war, under the administration of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp at Łambinowice.[4]
