Osoblaha (Czech pronunciation: [ˈosoblaɦa]; German: Hotzenplotz; Yiddish: האָצ׳פּלאָץ (Hotz'plotz, Hots'plots); Polish: Osobłoga) is a village in the Bruntál District of Czech Silesia in the Czech Republic in Osoblaha Hook. The village is named after the river of the same name.

According to the Austrian census of 1910 the town had 2,853 inhabitants, 2,759 of whom had permanent residence there. Census asked people for their native language, 2,754 (99.8%) were German-speaking. Jews were not allowed to declare Yiddish, most of them thus declared the German language as their native. Most populous religious groups were Roman Catholics with 2,779 (97.4%), followed by Jews with 58 (2%).^[1]

In the 1870s the owners of sugar refinery in Osoblaha were looking for a railway connection of their town.^[2] From financial point of view, the best alternative was a connection to the railway network in neighbouring Prussia. However, the government in Vienna refused it on political and military grounds. On 14. December 1898 a narrow gauge railway line from Třemešná was opened.
