Hanušovice (German: Hannsdorf) is a town in The Šumperk District of Czech Republic.The Holba brewery is located in the town.
A name is of German descent and consists of two parts. A proper noun of “Hanns” means “John” and a noun “dorf” means “a village”.
Czech name is an approximate loan translation of German original. Correct Czech translation of “John” is “Jan” although it is “Hanuš” in this case. "Hanuš" means “Johhan” in English.
The Czech name also consists of two parts. As already mentioned “Hanuš” means “Johann” and “–ovice” is a suffix creating a noun.
Hanušovice is situated at a confluence of Morava River and Branná River. The town is in narrow valley surrounded by hills of Hanušovická vrchovina (literally Hanušovice Highlands). A railway junction is not as important as used to be. A passenger transport has been cancelled on a railway to East Bohemia; the track is sporadically used for transporting cargo. A connection to Staré Město is unprofitable and survives with subsidy of Olomoucký kraj administration. Railway connection from Šumperk through Hanušovice to Jeseník keeps its importance.
A town council also administers villages of Hynčice nad Moravou, Potůčník, Vysoké Žibřidovice and Žleb.
Limited administrative services such a registry office and a building authority are provided for municipalities of Staré Město, Kopřivná, Malá Morava, Kopřivná, Šléglov and Vikantice.
