history

The village of Pěna , which was founded between the 13th and 14th centuries when the area around Neuhaus was colonized, was first mentioned in documents in 1359.

In 1654 28 peasant communities are recorded in the Berní rula , which were laid out in terraces on both sides of the valley in an east-west direction. There was a mill at the upper end of the village. The place was parish after Horní Pěna . Until the abolition of patrimonial rule in 1848 Niederbaumgarten belonged to the entails commission of the Neuhaus rule. Owners were the lords of Neuhaus , who after their extinction in the male line were inherited by the Slawata and these in turn by the Czernin . In 1850, 446 people lived in Niederbaumgarten.

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. With that, Nieder-Baumgarten, whose inhabitants were 95% German-Austrians in 1910, also fell to the new state. The general striving for autonomy of the Germans in the interwar period led to tensions within the country and further to the Munich Agreement , which regulated the cession of the Sudeten German territories to Germany. Between 1938 and 1945 the place Nieder-Baumgarten belonged to the Reichsgau Niederdonau .

After the end of the Second World War , which claimed 20 victims among the local residents, the territories transferred to Germany in the Munich Agreement were reassigned to Czechoslovakia . Nieder-Baumgarten and the surrounding towns were occupied by non-local militant Czechs on May 30, 1945. They first took some hostages and then drove most of the local German population across the border into Austria. Three hostages were shot. The property of the German residents was confiscated by the Beneš decree 108 and the local Catholic church was expropriated during the communist era .

The population sank to 240 by 1950 and fell again drastically in the second half of the 20th century due to rural exodus. In 1970 Dolní Pěna only had 135 inhabitants. The number of residential buildings also fell from 65 (1869) to 40 (1970).
