Doupov (German Duppau ) is a deserted area on the Hradiště military training area in Okres Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic . The former town was evacuated in 1955 because of the establishment of the military training area and its houses were then torn down to the foundation walls. Today Doupov is statistically recorded as a basic settlement unit of the military training area.

geography

The city was in the Duppau Mountains on the northeast slope of the Flurbühls (655 m) at the confluence of the Pustý potok in the Liboc ( Aubach ).

history

The main source of income was agriculture and tourism (summer vacation on the Aubach). Nevertheless, the place already had city rights in the 16th century. The castle was originally the seat of the Lords of Duppau. The last gentlemen on Duppau - until the expulsion after the Second World War - were the Zedtwitzer . Curt Graf Zedtwitz had acquired the rule of Duppau in 1858 from Count Czernin . A clergy-run high school with a Konvikt promoted youth education in its catchment area. Administratively it belonged to the judicial district of Duppau or the district of Kaaden , with Duppau being the seat of the district court.

As a possible location of the legendary Wogastisburg of the Slav prince Samo , among other places, the Duppau Mountains are also mentioned. Samo is said to have defeated an army of the Franks under King Dagobert I here.

In the 18th century, cloth making was the city's most important trade. During the War of the Austrian Succession , Duppau was occupied by the French in 1742. In 1866 it was occupied by the Prussians.

After the First World War , the Treaty of Saint-Germain was dictated to Austria-Hungary (there were no oral negotiations, among other things), and Duppau was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia . The right of self-determination of the German-speaking population in the Sudetenland ( German Bohemia and German Moravians ), who founded the independent provinces of German Bohemia and Sudetenland in October 1918 , was not taken into account. In 1930 the city had 1,524 inhabitants (1,506 Germans, 18 Czechs).

As part of the Munich Agreement Duppau was in the German Reich built, and the city was one of 1,938 to 1,945 for district Kadan , Region of Eger , in the Reich District of Sudetenland .

After the Germans were expelled at the end of World War II , the city was left to decay. Since 1955 it and its surroundings have belonged to the Hradiště military training area and have been torn down to the ground. There are only two buildings left in the district: the Zedtwitz family's grave chapel and a barn.

From 1902 Doupov was the terminus of a local railway from Vilémov ( Willomitz ) , which was originally built by the Kaadner Lokalbahnen . After the city was demolished (from the 1950s) and the military training area was set up, the route was demolished.

In addition to the city of Duppau, around 76 villages, small communities and individual farms were closed to set up the military training area.

Demographics

Until 1945 Duppau was predominantly populated by German Bohemia , which were expelled

Castle and Palace Duppau

The castle was originally the seat of the Knights of Duppau ("Benessius de Tuppowe", mentioned in 1281 in the first documentary mention of Duppau). Later referred to as "Duppauer von Duppau". From the middle of the 15th century the castle and the manor were owned by the Sahrers from Sahr . In 1546 passed to Hugo von Leisnek ( Burgrave of Leisnig ?). From the middle of the 16th century, the rulership belonged to Count Schlick (Christoph and his son Albin von Schlick). Other owners were the Counts of Verduga (former marble tombstone of Count Ferdinand von Verduga inside the Maria Himmelsfahrt`s parish church was from 1672) and the Lords of Lützau (later also called Lützow). The last gentlemen on Duppau - until the expulsion after the Second World War - were the Zedtwitzer . Curt Graf Zedtwitz had acquired the rule of Duppau in 1858 from Count Czernin . Since the town and castle were demolished in 1950, only the von Zedtwitz family's grave chapel has remained in ruins.
