history

The first written mention of Drahuss took place in 1408, when the Kreuzherr Wenceslaus left the Vladikensitz to the Litold von Moravjes. The place name is probably derived from the old Czech personal name Drahúš.

Jiří Šmikes von Žďár was one of the other owners of the estate in 1549 , and later Kolowrat -Liebsteinsky bought it and added it to the Petersburg estate . After the Battle of White Mountain in 1622, Jaroslaw Kolowrat-Liebsteinsky's property was confiscated and the Petersburg property was sold to Hermann Czernin von Chudenitz the following year . In 1639 he set up the Great Czerninsche Familienfideikommiss, which consisted of the Bohemian dominions and estates Petersburg, Gießhübel , Neudek , Schönhof , Sedschitz , Miltschowes , Winař , Welchow , Kost and Kosmanos as well as the Silesian dominion Schmiedeberg . In 1644 he was made an imperial count. In the 18th century the village became entirely German-speaking. During this time the legend arose that Drahuschen was formerly known as Dreihäusel and Dreihausen because it only consisted of three houses. At the beginning of the 18th century, the Counts of Czernin had the Hubertiwald hunting lodge built in the center of the Hubertuswald. In 1728, the secretary of Count Czernin, Franz Joseph Richtersohn, had the chapel built in Drahuschen. On December 21, 1731, a severe winter storm devastated the Hubertuswald. The imperial counts Czernin von und zu Chudenitz held the property without interruption. The landlords of Drahuschen included u. a. Johann Rudolf Czernin von und zu Chudenitz and from 1845 his son Eugen Karl Czernin von und zu Chudenitz .

In 1846 Drahuschen consisted of 26 houses with 145 German-speaking residents. There was a public chapel of St. Johann von Nepomuk and an inn. Aside, on the edge of the Hubertuswald, was the magisterial Meierhof Plawitsch, in its place before the Hussite Wars there was a village and knight seat. On the hill above, at the end of an avenue of fruit trees, was the Plawitscher Lusthaus, a single-storey white rotunda with a wide view. In the middle of the Hubertuswald was the Huberti Castle , which was conscripted to Chmeleschen, with the St. Wolfgang Chapel. The parish was Jechnitz . On July 6, 1846, a large fire destroyed eleven houses, nine barns and the chapel. Until the middle of the 19th century, Drahuschen remained subservient to the Fideikommiss rule in Petersburg.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Drahuschen / Drahouš 1850 with the districts Hubertiwald and Smrk and the monolayer Plawitsch and writer mill a municipality in the district Saaz and judicial district Jechnitz. In 1868 Drahuschen was assigned to the Podersam district . During a storm in 1872, lightning struck the 500-year-old fir in the Hubertuswald, causing the tree to die. In 1900 Drahuschen consisted of 33 houses, two of which were uninhabited, and had 218 inhabitants. St. Huberti consisted of six houses, half of which were uninhabited, and had ten residents. 54 people lived in the ten houses of Smrk. Plawitsch consisted of two houses and had ten residents. In 1901 the Drahuschen school association opened its own school in the village, before the children were taught in Jechnitz. In 1930, 252 people lived in Drahuschen with Smrk and St. Huberti, compared to 240 in 1932. After the Munich Agreement , the community was added to the German Reich in 1938 and until 1945 belonged to the Podersam district . In 1939 the community had 243 inhabitants. After the end of World War II, Drahouš returned to Czechoslovakia and the German-speaking residents were expelled . The Okres Podbořany was abolished in 1960, since then Drahouš has belonged to the Okres Rakovník . In 1961 Tlestky was incorporated and at the same time Smrk was reassigned to Nová Ves. On January 1, 1976, it was incorporated into Jesenice. At the beginning of 1993 Drahouš, Svatý Hubert and Tlestky broke away from Jesenice and formed the Drahouš community. The municipality has been a member of the Čistá-Senomaty microregion since 2011.
