History and Crafts
Jistebsko is a scattered mountain village with several preserved log houses from the Jizera Mountains. The area has been inhabited for more than half a millennium. Jistebsko burned down in August 1469; it was rebuilt in the second half of the 16th century.
The prehistoric mining site of Jistebsko dates from 5400 to 4800 BC. It consists of extraction pits and processing areas. In the vicinity of the site, scattered stone fragments are considered waste from the extraction and production of semi-finished products.
Historical glass-cutting and glassmaking workshops known as “driket” have been preserved in Jistebsko. In 1852, Ferdinand Posselt founded a small porcelain factory in Jistebsko, which remained in operation for twenty years. The first glass-pressing workshop was established near Kilian Wander’s house at the end of the 1860s. Several small glass companies operated in Jistebsko in the first years of the 20th century.
