The city of Svitavy has been located at the junction of important business routes since the beginning of its existence.
The oldest document that mentions Svitavy is a letter from 1256 that resolved a territorial dispute between the Olomouc Bishop Bruno of Schauemburk and the Premonstratensian monastery in Litomysl.
Therefore the population of Svitavy became dominantly German, in contrast to that of Old Svitavy.

 European Ombudsman Decision 952/99/GG
On the occasion of a telephone conversation between her and the person in charge at the Commission the complainant was informed that the application would be rejected.
The applicant, the town of Svitavy, had therefore been informed in a letter dated 5 May 1999 that the Commission was unable to award a grant for the event.
The Commission's view that it was the application dated on 4 March 1999 from the host town (Svitavy) which was the valid one therefore appears to be correct.

 Svitavy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Though the exact way Svitavy received its name is the subject of differing myths, one of the more credible has it receiving the name after the small Svitava River, whose water was once so crystal clear that the early Slavs equated it with an effect described by the word "svitati", or being clean and pure.
The earliest written record of the city of Svitavy can be found in the year 1256 in a letter resolving a land dispute between Bruno of Schauemburk, the Bishop of Olomouc, and the Premonstratensian monastery in Litomysl, which places it among the older towns in the country.
Evidence of this German heritage can be seen in the person of Svitavy's most well-known offspring, the Nazi industrialist made famous by Steven Spielberg, Oskar Schindler.

But Frederick's advance was a mere foray, and Prince Charles, leaving a screen of troops in front of Broglie, marched to cut off the Prussians from Silesia, while the Hungarian levies poured into Upper Silesia by the Jablunka Pass.
The Saxons, discontented and demoralized, soon marched off to their own country, and Frederick with his Prussians fell back by Svitavy and Litomysl to Kutna Hora in Bohemia, where he was in touch with Broglie on the one hand and (Glatz having now surrendered) with Silesia on the other.
No defence of Olomouc was attempted, and the small Prussian corps remaining in Moravia fell back towards Upper Silesia.
