history

On the western edge of the Dead Au moor, the remote Hegerhaus At the Black Cross of the Princely Schwarzenberg allodial rule Krumlov had been located since the 19th century . It was named after a six meter high wooden cross on the wooden bridge over the Cold Vltava. After the abolition of patrimonial , the Hegerhaus Am schwarzen Kreuz became part of the Neuofen community in the Oberplan judicial district from 1850 . From 1868 the single shift belonged to the Krumlov district . After the formation of the municipality of Tusset , the Hegerhaus came to Tusset in 1898.

Between 1908 and 1910, the United Bohemian Forest Local Railways extended the Wodňan – Wallern railway via Neuthal to Haidmühle in Bavaria and made a connection with the Budweis – Oberplan line at the Black Cross . The Am Schwarzen Kreuz station, built at the junction of both lines, became a junction for cross-border rail traffic between Passau and Budweis or Prachatitz from November 1910 with the commissioning of the Waldkirchen – Haidmühle line built by the Royal Bavarian State Railways . More and more day trippers came to the remote place by train. An inn with four guest rooms was built across from the train station. From 1924, the single shift and the train station were called Black Cross / Černý Kříž . In the 1930s, over 30 people lived in Schwarzes Kreuz . The station went into continuous service on August 11, 1936. In October 1938, as a result of the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Reich and belonged to the Prachatitz district until 1945 . During the German occupation, express trains also stopped at the Schwarzes Kreuz station. In early May 1945, the area was occupied by the US Army .

After the end of World War II , Černý Kříž came back to Czechoslovakia and was reassigned to the Okres Český Krumlov. On June 16, 1945, a special train with 19 railcars of the ČSD class M 274.0 , which had come from the direction of Volary and was occupied by Hungarian refugees, was stopped at the Černý Kříž station , which they wanted to bring to Bavaria via the border crossing Nové Údolí as confiscated property of the Third Reich. The American occupation troops also refused to allow the railcars to continue their journey, as they had been on Czechoslovak territory on May 5, 1945 and thus became the property of the ČSD . Finally, on July 24, 1945, the special train left again in the direction of Volary. Cross-border rail traffic to Bavaria was discontinued in the post-war period.

The German-Bohemian population of Černý Kříž was largely expelled due to the Beneš decrees and the place was repopulated with Czech repatriates. After the summer drought of 1947, the Černý Kříž station received its own water supply in December 1947. Before that, it was supplied with drinking water from the Hegerhaus or taken it from the Cold Vltava. In 1948 Černý Kříž was assigned to the Okres Prachatice . The border zone established in the same year severely restricted tourism to Černý Kříž and the surrounding area. During the spring flood of 1951, Černý Kříž was flooded by the Cold Vltava, and the Heger's wife drowned. In the same year, the railway tracks to Bavaria behind the Nové Údolí station were interrupted in the course of the construction of the Iron Curtain . In 1958 the dispatcher service in the Černý Kříž station was discontinued and taken over by the Volary station. The weighbridge and the wooden warehouse building on the ramp were demolished in the 1960s. From 1977 passenger trains only ran to Stožec. After the Velvet Revolution, passenger trains to Nové Údolí were resumed on June 30, 1990. On the night of December 20-21, 1993, the Cold Vltava flooded its banks again; During the flood, the street and the cellars of the station were flooded, but the train traffic could be maintained. In 1996 the express train that ran from Prague to Nová Pec in the summer was extended to Černý Kříž. Today Černý Kříž consists of the station building, the Hegerhaus and five other houses.
