Brod nad Tichou (German Bruck am Hammer ) is a municipality with 257 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2019) in the Czech Republic . It is located four kilometers south of the town of Planá at an altitude of 468 m on the Hammerbach ( Hamerský potok , also called Tichá on the lower reaches ) and belongs to the Okres Tachov . The Stříbro -Planá railway and the connecting road from Planá to Dálnice 5 run through the village .
history
The first mention of Bruck comes from the year 1243. The place originated at a transition of the trade route from Nuremberg to Plan and Haid over the Hammerbach. In the 14th century the place was called Prukke or Pons in Latin and Brod in Czech . There used to be an old castle on the outskirts, nothing of which has survived. In 1322 the parish church of St. James the Elder, Czech sources give it the year 1369. In 1427 the Lords of the Cross with the Red Star took over the church in Tachau .
Bruck, which was first mentioned as a town in 1379, came under the rule of Plan in 1414. In the middle of the 16th century, Bruck formed its own manor , owned by Georg von Schönberg and Bruck. The Theresian cadastre from 1757 shows Bruck again as a town. When the manors were dissolved, Bruck was part of the Plan- Gottschau manor .
In 1930, 459 Germans and 18 Czechs lived in 91 houses in Bruck am Hammer. In 1939 the village had 432 inhabitants.
After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Empire and until 1945 belonged to the Tachau district .
After the expulsion of the German residents in 1946, the number of residents halved and numerous houses fell into disrepair and were demolished. In 1950 the number of inhabitants of Brod was only 260. In 1991 it was 233, and the place consisted of 68 residential and 10 holiday homes.
On January 1, 1980, it was incorporated into the town of Planá, and since November 24, 1990, Brod nad Tichou has been an independent municipality again.
A joint study project of the University of Ústí nad Labem and the University of Passau is currently running on the topic: "The former and present residents of Bruck am Hammer / Brod nad Tichou".
Attractions
Between 1992 and 1995 the baroque church was restored with funds from former Bruck residents from Germany, and joint German-Czech church services are held in it every July for the Jacobi pilgrimage. The rectory to the south of the church, which was previously believed to have been built from parts of the old castle, was redesigned between 2001 and 2003 into an exhibition and meeting place for the German-Czech history of the village and the region. It also serves as a place to spend the night for the search for traces project. At the bridge over the Hammerbach there is a statue of St. John of Nepomuk from 1738. A small chapel with a baroque coat of arms is located at the railway crossing.
Karolinengrund
The Karolinengrund ( Dolní Karlín ) is the wooded valley of the Hammerbach . It begins two kilometers south of Brod and extends to the mouth of the river in the Mies near Ústí nad Mží ( Truß ). Today's local recreation area used to be an industrial site.
Around 1830 the mining of iron ore began in the valley , which extended into the Mies valley between Pavlovice nad Mží and Hohenzetlisch (Vysoké Sedliště). The owner of the Herrschaft Plan, Johann Wenzel Graf von Nostitz-Rieneck, named the valley after his wife Karoline, née Countess Clam-Gallas. On September 7, 1836, the first blast furnace was ceremoniously put into operation. The valley, including the iron and steel works , was sold to Josef Lugner from Plan in 1887, who founded a stone sculpture factory here and later passed the successful company, which employed between 60 and 70 stonemasons, on to his son of the same name. The stones and tombs made by “Lugner Plan” in Karolinengrund can not only be found in most West Bohemian cemeteries, but also in Budapest , Salzburg , Vienna and Prague . The vernacular, however, continued to refer to the location as the "blast furnace".
After the Second World War and the expulsion of the Lugners, the plant went from bad to worse and was finally shut down. Today there is a campsite and overnight huts in the romantic Karolinengrund. There is nothing left of the Lugner company buildings, the only remnant of the facilities is a huge stone terrace that belonged to Lugner's inn.
