From the german territory are comming german ancestors who probably colonized foothills of Jeseniky in the 13th and 14th century.They were working as compilers of metals and they domesticated in the atera of Oskava and Šumvald.One of them was zthe kin of riedl.Children of Riedl Wavra(* around 1625 in Hradec) settled down 21st September 1681 in Šumvald.Their farm land was a property n.40where kin of Riedl had been living for 206 years,until 31st July 1893 when it was sold for 13 150 gold.
In Šumvald was also born my great-grandfather Franz Xaver Riedl (*28.11.1846, my other ancestors were born out of Šumvald. Eduard Josef Riedl (*18.3.1879 Kroměříž) his son Eduard Riedl (*6.11.1911) in Ostrava, where I was born-Eduard Dušan Riedl and my sons Michal a Ondřej.So in total,we are originally from Šumvald,actully from its near surroundings and to our symbol is a lion from stamp of Lord Oneš and german female eagel.All our ancestors were farmers so in our symbol cannot miss spade and wheat spike.
