history

Hammern was probably created at the beginning of the 13th century during the settlement of the Künischen Mountains under Albrecht III. of arch . After the dynasty of the Counts of Bogen died out, the village fell back to the Bohemian Crown in 1273.

Hammern was first mentioned in a document in 1429. The village was located on the iron road leading along the Úhlava from Bohemia to Bavaria and belonged to the area of the Künischen free farmers . In the vicinity of the village iron ore was extracted and iron hammers were operated on the Úhlava. In 1617 Hammern , which belonged to the Deschenitz lordship , was one of the eight Künish court villages. At this time, the first glassworks can be found in the Hüttstatt, which was followed by more until the beginning of the 19th century. To meet the needs of the glassworks for flux, the Muckenhof and Donnerwinkel were built as a settlement for ash burners and river boilers . In 1731 the Church of the Holy Cross was built in Kreutzwinkel. From 1773, some families from Hammern emigrated to North America and Brazil. In 1830, several farmers joined together to form a cooperative and in 1833 acquired the Gerlwald, which was part of the Gerlhütte. The jointly managed forest was divided into 302 parts and covered a total area of 805 hectares. In 1837 the Kreutzwinkel was outsourced to the cadastre of Eisenstrasse and its assignment to Hammern.

In 1850, 1225 people lived in the municipality of Hammern, the cadastral area was 3530 ha. In 1852 Anton Ziegler set up a mirror glass grinding shop. In 1874 the kk privileged railway Pilsen – Priesen started building the railway from Neuern to Markt Eisenstein . After the completion of the Spitzberg tunnel , the first train arrived at Hammern-Eisenstrasse station on October 22, 1877. In 1884, the Pezold paper factory, a larger wood processing company, was established. The last glassworks closed in 1890. In 1930, 1450 people lived in Hammern. After the Munich Agreement , Hammern was annexed to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the district of Markt Eisenstein between 1939 and 1945 . In 1939 the community had 1,386 inhabitants.

After the Czechs settled in the village, many of the German residents began to move their belongings to Bavaria and some of them stayed there. In the summer of 1946, most of the German residents were expelled to Bavaria via the Železná Ruda camp. Around 400 Germans stayed behind in Hamry and mostly fled across the Bavarian border in 1948 after they were supposed to be relocated to the interior of the country.
