history
.JPG)
Ratmír von Speierling ( Ratmír ze Skviřína ), ancestor of the later lords of Schwanberg and treasurer of the Pilsen district, founded a settlement before 1250 on a road that led from Mies to the border fortress Pfraumberg . Ratmír's son of the same name and his brother Bohuslaus built a fort, which was first mentioned in 1263 as Haid or in Czech as Bor and was later extended to a moated castle. The Czech name form Bor was probably chosen because of the surrounding pine forests.
Together with the castles Taus , Pfraumberg and Tachau, the fort formed a fortification belt along the border with the Upper Palatinate . For the years 1285 to 1291 Bohuslaus von Speierling is documented with the addition of Haid to his name . The village that developed around the moated castle rose to a subject town before 1369, in which justice was pronounced in 1391 based on the model of Prague's old town . After the Schwanbergs resided at Schwanberg Castle near Krasíkov from the middle of the 14th century , the fort fell into disrepair. In 1430 it was besieged by the Hussites without success and in 1454 it was declared abandoned.
After Johann von Schwanberg had the castle renewed in 1505, it became the residence of a branch line, whose members granted the town several privileges. Around 1600 they had the castle rebuilt into a renaissance castle, and in 1602 they gave the town a coat of arms. Johann Wilhelm von Schwanberg, the last of his line from the Haider line, sold Haid in 1650 to Major General Sigismund Friedrich von Götzen (1622–1661). As an imperial-royal chamberlain and district administrator in the Kingdom of Bohemia, he founded the Catholic Bohemian line of the imperial counts of Götzen . During his reign, Haid and the surrounding area were gradually Germanized; In 1654 Haid was raised to the rank of town.
In 1720 Haid came to the princes of Löwenstein, who came from southern Germany . In 1726 a fire caused great damage, which also destroyed the town hall and the city archives. In the 18th century, the princes of Löwenstein rebuilt the Renaissance palace in baroque style . Another renovation took place in the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style . In 1843 Haid consisted of 243 houses and more than 1,600 mainly German residents, whose economic base was agriculture, forestry, fish farming and pottery. In addition to Haid and Neustadtl, 30 villages belonged to the Haid rule .
After the First World War , Haid was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 . Due to the Munich Agreement Haid belonged 1938-1945 to district Tachov , Region of Eger , in the Reich District of Sudetenland the German Reich . At the end of the Second World War, the city was badly damaged. The German population was expelled and the princes of Löwenstein were expropriated.
In 1989, a medium wave transmitter for the Czechoslovak international radio should be built near the Kurojedy district. Construction of the facility was abandoned after the collapse of the communist regime. Relics in the form of concrete foundations still exist on the site today.
