The village was established around 1835, by Karl Scheiff, the heir of Smozhe. He invited Catholic German settlers from Western Bohemia to form an agricultural colony of Annaberg, fueling the society of Galician Germans.[3] In the same year two other nearby German colonies were established in the same way, Felizienthal and Karlsdorf, forming a small language island.

The village is situated along the Highway M06 (Ukraine) ( M06) and distant from the city of Lviv at 141 kilometres (88 mi), 32 kilometres (20 mi) from Skole, and 127 kilometres (79 mi) from Uzhhorod.[4]
