Závada (Petrovice u Karviné)

 Závada  (Polish: Zawada , Cieszyn Silesian: Zowada) is a village in Karviná District, Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic. It was a separate municipality but became administratively a part of Petrovice u Karviné in 1952.

Petrůvka River flows to the Olza River in the village.

The name of the village is of Slavic topographic or cultural origins denoting a natural or artificial obstacle.

It was first mentioned in 1447 in a written sentence: potwrdili jsme Zawadu. Politically the village belonged initially to the Duchy of Teschen, a fee of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became a part of the Habsburg Monarchy.

After the Revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire, a modern municipal division was introduced in the re-established Austrian Silesia. The village as a municipality was subscribed at least since 1880 to political district and legal district of Freistadt.
