Dětřichov nad Bystřicí (German: Dittersdorf) is a village and municipality in Bruntál District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic.

History

Until 1918, DITTERSDORF was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), in the Sternberg (Šternberk) district, one of the 34 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Moravia.[1]

A post-office was opened in 1873.

In 1938, after the Munich Agreement, it was occupied by the Nazi army as one of the municipalities in Sudetenland (Landkreis Sternberg (Mähren)).[2] The German speaking population was expelled in 1945 (further to the Beneš decrees) and replaced by Czech settlers.
