history

The settlement of Cucraj was probably built around a fortress between the 12th and 13th centuries. In the course of the 13th century, colonization took place by German settlers who later gave the village the name Sitzgras . A fortress of Zuzicria was first mentioned in 1260. The place was first mentioned in a document in 1301.

Sitzgras was a parish to which Lipolec, Lidéřovice and Český Rudolec also belonged in the 16th and 17th centuries . In 1643, Bartholomäus von Tannazoll-Zill, who had made a pilgrimage to Montserrat after his healing from a war wound, donated a chapel of Our Lady of Montserrat on what is now Mount Montserrat. Since the chapel had become a place of pilgrimage, an extension to a larger church took place between 1712 and 1717. After it was repealed in the course of the Josephine reforms, the church fell into disrepair from 1785. Between 1856 and 1865, Pastor Josef Springer had Angelo Ritter von Picchioni build a new pilgrimage church, which was consecrated on September 17, 1865 by Bishop Anton Ernst von Schaffgotsch . In 1810 the Wölkinger Eisenhüttenwerke was founded in Wölking . While Wölking gained in importance as a result, seat grass has lost more and more of its importance since the 19th century. This was also evident in the construction of the railway between Zlabings and Datschitz , which circumnavigated Sitzgras via Wölking.

One of the successor states of Austria-Hungary after the First World War , 1914–1918, was Czechoslovakia , which claimed the German-speaking regions of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia that had been German Austria since the end of 1918 . The Treaty of St. Germain awarded the disputed territories against the will of the people of Czechoslovakia. This also meant that Sitzgras, whose residents more than 99% of the German language group in 1910 , fell to the new state. In the interwar period , the Germans began to strive for autonomy , which led to tensions within the ethnic groups and to the Munich Agreement , which regulated the cession of the Sudeten German territories to Germany. Between 1938 and 1945 Sitzgras belonged to the Reichsgau Niederdonau .

After the end of the Second World War , which claimed 19 victims among the local residents, the community came back to Czechoslovakia on May 8, 1945. On June 9, 1945, Sitzgras was occupied by Czechs at the same time as the surrounding towns. They took 4 men hostage, evicted 294 people and finally the hostages across the border into Austria. 46 people remained in the place. The property of the German local residents was confiscated by the Beneš decree 108 and the Catholic Church was expropriated during the communist era . 47 people were able to remain in Austria, the others were transferred to Germany. Two people became residents in France and one person each in Canada and Australia.
