Website:www.lubnik.cz . The municipality is situated along the 2nd class road starting in the town of Lanškroun and ending in the town Zábřeh na Moravě. The name of the village is derived from the Czech word “lub” (i.e. the rim of the mill-stone or a hollow tree that was burnt inside). The village has its own church and rectory since mid-14th century. The old wooden church was pulled down in 1832 and a large St. Peter and Paul’s Church in Empire Style was built in 1835. There are a sculpture of Holy Trinity (1717) and a cross on a socle (1800) near the church. The village of Lubník had 31 German house owners and 4 Czech house owners around 1670. In 1834 there were 91 houses and 583 inhabitants. Today, the population is around 300. This picturesque village is a paradise for those who love calmness – visit us and have a seat in the local pub.
Detailed information (adapted from the source "Vlastivěda Lanškrounska"): The municipality of Lubník is situated on the Bohemian-Moravian borderline, 3 km in east of the town Lanškroun, was originally part of Moravia. However, it was administratively separated from the Zábřeh district and integrated into the Lanškroun district in 1938. The first reference to Luduici villa (i.e. village of Ludvík) – probably the current village of Lubník – dates back to 1278. However, a reliable reference to the village dates back to the mid-14th century (1347, 1358) in deeds connected to the foundation of the Litomyšl bishopric (1344). The newly formed deanery included a part of the Šumperk deanery, and therefore the village of Lubník and the parish St. Peter and Paul’s Church. At those times, the village of Lubník was property of the family z Otaslavic – owners of the castle Brníčko. However, brothers Vojtěch, Ctibor, Michal and Jimram z Otaslavic exchanged the village of Lubník for the Dubicko region whose owner was Jaroslav ze Šternberka (also owner of the Zábřeh domain) in 1356. Around hundred years later (in 1446) the village was separated temporarily from the Zábřeh domain – the village of Lubník was bought (together with villages Tatenice, Cotkytle, Šumvald, Jankov and Sudina) by Půta and Hereš ze Sovince a Doubravnice. In 1464 the area was re-sold by Půta ze Sovince to Jiří Tunkl z Brníčka, the owner of the Zábřeh domain. The owners changed many times, the village also belonged to the stronghold Šilperk (Štíty). It was integrated definitively to the Zábřeh domain by Ladislav z Boskovic in 1519. This situation remained unchanged until the end of the feudalism. Since 1622 the village of Lubník was more closely connected to the villages of the Bohemian part of this region, as the Zábřeh domain and the neighbouring Lanškroun domain were bought by Karel z Lichtenštejna, therefore both Bohemian and Moravian part had the same owner – Princes z Lichtenštejn. The independent rectory in the village of Lubník was probably dissolved during the Hussite wars (the former Litomyšl bishopric was dissolved also) and therefore the village became part of the Olomouc deanery. Since the 16th century the village was integrated into the Tatenice parish. In 1850 a local chaplaincy was established and seven years later the village became again the seat of an independent parish. The old wooden church was pulled down in 1832 and in 1835 the stone church in Empire style was finished. The capacity of the old cemetery (the foundation date is unknown) surrounding the church was insufficient at the beginning of the 20th century. Hence, a new cemetery was founded in 1909. According to the results of the population census of 1930, a very small Czech minority lived in the village. The German population had been prevailing during past centuries – around 1670 the village had 31 German house owners and 4 Czech house owners. At turn of the 19th and 20th centuries there were several associations in the village of Lubník. The brigade of voluntary firemen was founded in 1889 (as a reaction to a huge fire a year earlier). Two years later, a savings bank association (having members form neighbouring villages of Sázava and Žichlínek) was founded. Apart from loans, the savings bank could buy farm machines (for instance threshing-machine, grist mill, and harvester) that were used by the members of the savings bank association. There were also the Association of Germans (Bund der Deutschen), Association of Young Germans (Bund der deutschen Landjugend) and German gymnastic club (DKV). Today, there is the Brigade of voluntary firemen in the village of Lubník. This association organises fire brigade exercises, traditional fire brigade ball, celebration of Walpurgis Night, meetings of inhabitants. The local Gymnastic club is also organising cultural events in the village, for example celebration of the children’s day, marches to the hill Lázek and the holiday end party. The list of local monuments includes the already mentioned St. Peter and Paul’s Church, the Baroque sculpture of Holy Trinity (1717) behind the church, the statue of Holy Virgin which was created many years later (1806) standing near to granary and the sand-stone sculpture near to the football ground. Near to the cemetery there is a memorial to the inhabitants of the village of Lubník who died during the World War I. At the beginning of the new millennium, around three hundred inhabitants (282) live in the village. The total number of houses is 81. The majority of inhabitants work in this region, particularly in the town of Lanškroun. The agricultural cooperative ZOD Žichlínek employs 10 persons who work in the cow house in the village of Lubník.
