history

Bober got its place name after the river Bober of the same name, which flows through the place. It was founded around the middle of the 16th century and was first mentioned in a document in 1565. It was on the border with Silesia and belonged to the Schatzlar lordship, where it was parish. The inhabitants initially lived from agriculture and animal husbandry as well as the mining of hard coal in the mines of Schatzlar. After the First Silesian War , it bordered Prussia from 1742. After the abolition of patrimonial Bober belonged to the Trautenau district from 1850 .

From the second half of the 19th century, industry and trade were of economic importance. 150 workers were employed in the Franz and Richard Breit glass factory. They made hollow and rod glass forth from the in Jablonec and other places jewelery items were produced. In two crushing houses , an average of 1500 m² of raw flax was crushed each year, and 12,000 m of raw canvas was produced in a linen factory. From 1850 Bober belonged to the judicial district Schatzlar .

Since 1785 there was a single-class school in Bober, which was continued with two classes from 1882 and three-class from 1897. In 1930 it consisted of two classes with a total of 93 students. For the year 1901 it is proven: 104 houses in which 944 residents lived, including 17 traders and traders. In 1930 Bober consisted of 133 houses. On the occasion of the census on December 1, 1930, 710 German and 13 Czech residents were found.

As a result of the Munich Agreement , Bober, which was mainly populated by Germans, was annexed to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Trautenau district until 1945 . After the Second World War, most of the German residents were expelled . Because of this and because of the remoteness on the Polish border, the number of inhabitants decreased significantly.

present

Traditional wooden house in Bobr

In 1991 there were 165 people in the village. Bobr had 70 houses in 2001. Many houses were not inhabited again after the Germans were driven out and fell into disrepair or were demolished. In the meantime, building plots are shown again, but different from previous properties.

The settlement, which is still characterized by the village, consists of former farmhouses, including traditional old wooden houses, as well as old and new buildings in the single-family style. These are residential houses, holiday homes, weekend houses and guest houses. The surrounding meadows are cultivated mechanically, as there is state funding for it. Agriculture and animal husbandry are hardly available any more.

At the end of Bobr there is a sewage treatment plant that also treats the sewage from Žacléř.
