history
The first written mention of Habry was in 1101 by Cosmas of Prague in the Chronica Boemorum . It reports that Ulrich von Brünn and his troops moved through the town to Prague in order to assert his claims to the succession there. The place on Haberner Steig, the main connection from Prague via Deutschbrod to Moravia , was raised to a market town by Charles IV in 1351 and received a coat of arms.
In 1835 a local chronicle was created. After the replacement of patrimonial Habern became the seat of a judicial district in the political district of Časlau in 1850 . At that time, 2,136 people lived in the market town. In 1909 Habern received city rights. But the importance of the city was already declining at this time, as no major companies settled there due to the lack of a railway connection.
After the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918, the city lost its functions as a regional center through the abolition of the tax office and after the Second World War through the abolition of the district court as part of the Kaschau program and sank into insignificance. In 1950 Habry had 1145 inhabitants and after the loss of city rights, other authorities were relocated from the place. Since 1990 Habry has been a town again; the building office and registry office returned to the city.
