Dětřichov (German: Dittersdorf) is a municipality and village in Svitavy District in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 400 inhabitants.
Etymology
[edit]The original Latin name of the village was Theodriciuilla. It was derived from the personal German name Dietrich (Czech: Dětřich), latinized as Theodericus, meaning "Dietrich's village". The Czech and German names were created by translation. The German name later appeared as Dittersdorf.[2]

History
[edit]The first written mention of Dětřichov is from 1167. In 1278, the area was colonized by German settlers. The hamlet of Vysoké Pole, nowadays a local part of Dětřichov, was founded in 1777. After World War II, the German population was expelled and partially replaced by Czechs.[3]
