Diana , (Czech also: Dianin Dvůr , German: Dianahof ) is a desert in the area of Rybník nad Radbuzou in Okres Domažlice in the Czech Republic .

Diana (Rybník nad Radbuzou)

The Diana hunting lodge (German: Dianaberg), part of the municipality of Rozvadov ( Tachau district ), must not be confused with the Diana hunting lodge of the same name (German: Dianahof), part of the municipality of Rybník nad Radbuzou ( district Domažlice ). Both hunting castles are named in Czech after the goddess of the hunt Diana, only the German name is different. Both hunting lodges are located near the German-Czech border and are only 21 kilometers apart. While the Diana hunting lodge near Rozvadov is a splendid building in a small inhabited village, only a few crumbling wall remains of the Diana hunting lodge near Rybník nad Radbuzou have been preserved, which are located in the middle of a completely uninhabited area. Both objects are under Czech monument protection:

• Diana near Rozvadov with the monument number (číslo rejstříku) ÚSKP: 41888 / 4-1887
• Diana near Rybník nad Radbuzou with the monument number (číslo rejstříku) ÚSKP: 29252 / 4-5179

Geographical location

South of the Reichenstein , about 400 meters southeast of Bayrisch-Schwarzach and the submerged Böhmisch-Schwarzach , on the eastern slope above the Bavarian Schwarzach (Czech: Černý potok) are the ruins of the former hunting lodge Dianahof and the foundation walls of the surrounding buildings. You can get there from the Schwarzach border crossing on foot or by bike. The road leading there is rather unsuitable for normal cars.

history

In 1812 the Meierhof building in Dianahof burned down . In 1819 a hunting lodge in the Biedermeier style was built in its place . It had only seven rooms, all furnished in the Biedermeier style. In 1825 Baron Christoph von Wiedersperg had a chapel consecrated to St. Christopher built next to the hunting lodge . In 1860 the chapel was granted a mass license . From Dianahof to Rybník there is a 500 hectare zoo with big game, fallow deer , roe deer , mouflons , foxes, badgers and smaller predatory game. In addition to the hunting lodge and the chapel, there was also a school in Dianahof, which the children from Böhmisch-Schwarzach also attended. Dianahof belonged to the Unterhütten part of the municipality of Waier. The last owners of Dianahof were the Coudenhove-Kalergi family . During the Iron Curtain era, a unit of the Pohraniční stráž , the border guard of Czechoslovakia, was stationed in the Dianahof until the 1960s . Today (2014) there are only a few ruined wall remains and foundation walls.
