history

Blatno was first mentioned in a document in 1253, when Agnes of Bohemia founded the place together with Tis u Blatna and Balková the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star . A monastery was built in Blatno, from which the villages Pastuchovice , Velečín , Ostrovec, Žďár and Krty were founded. The last news about the monastery is from 1406 and it was destroyed during the Hussite Wars .

In 1420 King Sigismund left Blatno and Tis for loyal service to his follower and master on Rabštejn, Jan Caltov from Kamenná Hora. Several changes of ownership took place in the 16th and 17th centuries and Blatno belonged to the families of Guttenstein, Schlick , Schwanberg , Kolowrat von Liebstein and Chotek von Chotkow . After the battle of the White Mountain Jiří Chotek lost his property and Ferdinand I sold Blatno in 1622 to Hermann Czernin von Chudenitz , who added the place to the rulership of Petersburg .

At Mlýnský vrch (battle hill) there was fighting between rebel subjects and imperial troops on April 26, 1680, in which 50 of the rebels fell and another 50 were injured.

Until the abolition of patrimonial in 1848, Blatno remained subordinate to the Czernin von Chudenitz in Petersburg and then became an independent community.

After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Empire and belonged to the Podersam district until 1945 .
