history
The area south of the Giant Mountains was settled by German settlers in the 13th century under Přemysl Ottokar II . In 1530 the Bohemian mining captain Christoph von Gendorf bought the villages of Langenau , Hohenelbe and Neudorf (Nová Ves) and established the Hohenelbe rule . Gradually Gendorff acquired further corridors from royal property, including the Langenauer Hammer in 1547 .
The Niedere Hof, proven since 1539, became the center of the iron and silver mining area of Hohenelbe. Niederhof, which had previously belonged to Langenau, had been an independent and important mountain town with huts and hammers since 1601. In the same year a separate mountain book was created. After the Battle of the White Mountain , Wilhelm von Stropschitz's property, including Niederhof, was confiscated; Albrecht von Waldstein became the new owner in 1624 , who issued his mountain regulations for Hohenelbe on July 19, 1625. After his murder, Rudolf Freiherr von Morzin became the new owner of Niederhof; he pushed through the re-Catholicization of the residents.
After the Morzin became extinct, Niederhof passed to the Counts Černín z Chudenic in 1881 , who sold the rule to the First Republic in 1919. Several Giant Mountains buildings and farms belonged to the local area of Niederhof .
The inhabitants of Niederhof were almost exclusively Germans. In 1798 896 people lived here, in 1828 there were 1,355. The village, which was a parish, experienced its greatest heyday in the middle of the 19th century; In 1850 the population was 2,734, but by 1901 it had halved again to 1,301. Until 1918, the community belonged to the Hohenelbe district .
After the end of the Second World War and the expulsion , this decreased again significantly. In 1947, 328 people lived in Dolní Dvůr, as the place was now called in its literal translation into Czech. In 1961 there were 347.
The place on the western slope of the 1,024 m high Jelení vrch (Bönischberg) and the neighboring Tetřeví vrch ( Pomeranian mountain , 964 m) lives today mainly from tourism and is a winter sports resort with two ski lifts. In the center of the village is the Josefikirche, built in 1802, the organ of which was renovated in 2001 with funds from the German-Czech Future Fund on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the town.
The buildings Tetřeví ( Auerwiesbauden ), Hanapetrova paseka ( Hanapetershau ), Vápenice ( Kalkkoppe ), Kotelní boudy ( Kesselbauden ), Godrovy domky ( Goderhäuser ), Zvonička ( Am Plan ), Zlaté návrší ( Goldhöhe ) are located on the municipal corridors the valleys Rudolfov ( Rudolfstal ) and Luisino Údolí ( Louisenthal ).
