history

Seal of Útvinas from the Middle Ages

In the second half of the 12th century the settlement of the border forest of the Přemyslids began by the Premonstratensians of the Mühlhausen monastery , who established a provost house in Toužim. Útvina was founded by the Premonstratensians and became the capital of the Toužim rule. Since the middle of the 14th century, Útvina, on the main road from Prague to Eger , has been the economic and commercial center of the Toužim Provostry. Utwein was first mentioned in writing on December 22, 1384 in a document from King Wenceslas IV , who granted the settlement city rights.

The decline of the town began with the Hussite Wars . 1420, the Convention had fled from the Hussite from Milevsko to Toužim and at times of Abbot Peter I the Order pledged by 1423 some of his goods to Henry X of Petschau , who his rule Petschau struck.

In 1427 Jakoubek z Vřesovic Toužim conquered and expelled the order. This put Utwein on the border between two warring parties. In 1437 Jakoubek z Vřesovic acquired the Toužim monastery property from Emperor Sigismund as hereditary property for his son Jan I of Vřesovice, who had the provost house converted into a castle. A permanent feud developed between the Calixtine Vřesovicern and the Catholic bailiffs of Plauen , who owned the neighboring lordships of Petschau and Buchau , with Tauzim Castle serving as the starting point for their raids. In 1469, Utwein was destroyed during a campaign by Henry II of Plauen against Jan II of Vřesovice.

Georg von Podiebrad allowed the citizens of Utwein to relocate their place two kilometers south-east into the valley of the Střela under the Tausim castle and founded the town of Toužim on July 8, 1469, to which he transferred all privileges including the coat of arms of Utwein and the rights of the Fortification awarded. When the political situation in Bohemia began to stabilize again after the death of Georg von Podiebrad, some of the Utwein residents returned to their old town and began to rebuild. Subsequently, a dispute arose between the residents of Útvina and Toužim about town rights, which led to King Vladislav II of the town of Toužim issuing a new coat of arms privilege on January 5, 1478 at the request of Jan II of Vřesovice, so that Útvina did could carry on old coats of arms. Útvina did not get its town charter back. The market town never regained its former importance.

The rebuilding of Útvina caused Henry III. von Plauen, with Vladislav II. to establish a town on the territory of the Bečov rule on the state road in the immediate vicinity of Útvina. In 1488, two and a half kilometers west of Útvina, instead of the settlement of Schiekenplos, the new town of Schönthal , whose inhabitants became German Catholics. The background of the town of Schönthal was the intention of Heinrich III. von Plauen in order to damage his opponent Jan II of Vřesovice economically.

A little later, Jindřich von Vřesovice sold the Toužim estate to Henry III. In 1538 his son Henry IV acquired the Toužim estate as a hereditary property. He reassigned the goods in Schönthal to Toužim. After Heinrich V died in 1565 without heirs, Heinrich Nikolaus Lobkowicz von Hassenstein inherited the rule. His son Christoph lost his property as a rebel after the battle of the White Mountain and went into exile in Saxony as a Protestant. The rule was acquired in 1623 by the imperial general Julius Heinrich von Sachsen-Lauenburg . After the death of Prince Julius Franz von Sachsen-Lauenburg , Schönthal inherited his daughter Franziska Sibylla as part of the Schlackenwerther share and brought her goods into the marriage with the Türkenlouis . He was followed by his son August Georg Simpert , with whom the house of Baden-Baden became extinct in 1771 in the male line. His Bohemian estates fell to the Bohemian Crown . Maria Theresa and his niece Elisabetha Augusta contractually agreed to use the Bohemian goods for life.

Elisabetha Augusta leased the Toužim estate to her cousin Johann I von Schwarzenberg († 1789) for 15 years in 1783 . After his death, his son Joseph II entered the contract. In 1799 Uittwa fell to the Bohemian Chamber together with the Toužim reign . In 1837 Alfred von Beaufort-Spontini bought the estate. He was the last feudal owner of the market. The construction of the Kaiserstraße from Pilsen to Elbogen between 1845 and 1848 brought Uittwa an important transport link.

After the abolition of patrimonial rule , the market town of Uittwa / Outvina was established in 1850 with the Schäferei district in the Karlsbad district . At the end of the 19th century, the spelling changed to Uitwa / Útvina. In 1907 the market was assigned to the Teplá district . In 1930 Uitwa had 646 inhabitants. After the Munich Agreement , the market was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Tepl district until 1945 . In 1939 Uitwa had 600 inhabitants. After the end of the war, Útvina returned to Czechoslovakia and the expulsion of the German population began.

Útvina was classified in the Okres Toužim in 1949 and its rights as a minority town were not renewed in 1948. Since 1961 Útvina has belonged to the Okres Karlovy Vary. In 1961 Chylice, Sedlo and Svinov were incorporated. On January 1, 1981, Krásné Údolí with its districts Odolenovice, Přílezy and Český Chloumek was incorporated into Útvina.

In 1990 the municipality of Krásné Údolí was re-established, to which Odolenovice has belonged since then.
