Dolní Žandov (German Unter Sandau , formerly also Sandau, Sanda, Sandawa, Zandow, Zanda and Zandaw ) is a municipality in the Czech Republic.

Community structure

The municipality Dolní Žandov consists of the districts Dolní Žandov ( Untersandau ), Horní Žandov ( Obersandau ), Podlesí ( Markusgrün ), Salajna ( Konradsgrün ) and Úbočí ( Amonsgrün ). Basic settlement units are Brtná ( Zeidlweid ), Dolní Žandov, Dolní Žandov-u nádraží, Horní Žandov, Podlesí, Salajna and Úbočí.

The municipality is divided into the cadastral districts of Brtná u Dolního Žandova, Dolní Žandov, Horní Žandov, Podlesí u Dolního Žandova, Salajna and Úbočí u Dolního Žandova. Until 1946 Obersandau, which is now called Horni Zandov, was an elongated farming village, through which the Tillenbach flowed in its entire extent. The Eger-Pilsen railway separated the village into the lower and upper village, which was followed by the Ödhäuser district. In Obersandau there were only free-standing farms and houses.

history

The first settlement was by the Celts . The place was founded by German-speaking colonists before the 12th century.

1197 gave Heinrich Břetislav III. the village to the newly founded monastery Teplá . Later, on the hill next to the village, the fortified church of St. Michael was built. In 1347, during the wars between Charles IV and Ludwig the Bavarian , the village was destroyed. In 1374, Charles IV. Boreš von Ossegg gave permission to tear down the ruins and found a new town. In 1464 the place got permission to brew beer.

In 1799 Johann Geiger founded the factory for the production of the then famous paper cans and tobacco boxes "Sander". From the middle of the 19th century, the village formed a municipality in the judicial district of Bad Königswart .

After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the district of Marienbad in the Reichsgau Sudetenland , administrative district of Eger .

Incorporations
