Krupka - Inhabitants

Inhabitants

The Czechs are the majority, but Krupka is a little cosmopolitan town. Some minorities live there as sings of last regimes or political situations. There are some German or scions of them who became Czechs by years. Germans were here on inviting of Czech kings in the Middle Age, but a result of the World War 2 and followed Benešovy dekrety meant for German people to be moved back to Germany, because lots of them were cooperating with Nazists (not all of them, for example Herta Lindgren - the park in the centre of town was given her name). There are also some Vietnamese who came to the Czech Republic (that time Czechoslovakia) during the communism. They are shopkeepers or pubkeepers, the others are occupied in their national friends´ firms. Peharps the most plentiful minority in Krupka, are the Roma. They are placed in the part called Maršov, exactly at Horní Sídliště. There are lots of problems with some of them. There is a big criminality at Horní Sídliště and most of the Romani are the unemployed. The next, say, group of people living in Krupka are Czechs who had lived in Ukraine and later Soviet Union had to move back to the Czechoslovakia after the World War 2. These people are called "Volynští Češi" or "Volyňáci".
