history

Taubrath was first mentioned in a document in 1313 when Arnold, canon in Prague and clergyman in Königsberg an der Eger ( Kynšperk nad Ohří ), mediated a dispute between the Commandery of the Teutonic Order in Eger and the Hospital of the Order of the Cross and the Teutonic Order the income from the village of Taubra was guaranteed. Taubra appears in the archives of the Order of the Cross with the place names "Tauber" and "Taubenhof".

These changing forms of writing of the place name continue through the centuries and contain the basic word Tawrik or Towrik, which was also used in field names and indicates a forgotten place for ore smelting or a lost castle. The "Tawrikgaß" was a road to Altalbenreuth, a meadow to Unterlosau was called the "Tawrikwies" and the meadow landscape towards Stabnitz was called the "Tomrik". Secure place names of Taubrath are in 1313 "Taubra", 1322 "Tauberat", 1392 "Taverat", 1395 "Tawbrat", 1350 "Taubra", 1798 "Taubarat", 1842 to 1945 "Taubrath", "Tauwaraad", "Tawrik" "And after 1945" Doubrava ".

The claw tax book of the city of Eger from 1392 contains the first nine personal names in Taubrath. The draft book from 1395 names nine peasants who were required to serve. In 1606 the Order of the Holy Cross sold the village of Taubrath and its income to the councilor Wolfgang Bayer in Eger and the farmers of the village were under the authority of the city of Eger until 1848.

In 1780 cobalt - manganese ore was found in fields near Taubrath , which was then called "Black Earth Kobold". There was a suspicion of this ore and mining existed until the 19th century, the pits of which were abandoned when no pure cobalt ore was found.
