Frauenberg Castle

Hluboká nad Vltavou , until 1912 Podhrad (German: Frauenberg ), is a city in the Czech Republic . It is located in the South Bohemian Region on the Vltava River .

geography

To the south of the city, near the district of Bavorovice, the Bezdrevský potok flows into the Vltava.

history

The area around Hluboká was already settled in the older Bronze Age, which is attested by burial mound finds in the city area. At the beginning of the 1st century, permanent fortifications were built on the Baba and Hradec hills to protect the surrounding villages. In the 7th century the area was settled by Slavic tribes.

On a headland above the Vltava River, Frauenburg Castle was built on the site of a former guard post (at that time "Froburg", later also called "Frohnburg"). The Czech name was not mentioned until the 14th century. The castle had to protect the transport of goods on the Vltava and was the military and administrative center of the region. It belonged to the domain of King Ottokar II. Přemysl , after his death it was part of the Witigones family , and later back to the Bohemian crown. It was only after the acquisition by Wilhelm II of Pernstein in 1490 that the castle and the nearby settlement flourished; new farms, fish ponds and animal enclosures were built. The acquisition of the estates by Johann Adolf I. zu Schwarzenberg in 1661 and the economic fortunes of the Schwarzenbergs brought further prosperity to the region. During the Thirty Years' War , the French occupied the castle, which was then besieged by the Austrians. In 1742 the entire lower castle burned down. Joseph Adam von Schwarzenberg had the fortifications torn down after the occupation ended so that they could no longer serve as a military base. Nevertheless, the area was the seat of the Russian staff in the battle against Napoleon's troops from 1799–1800 . The renovations turned the castle into a palace.

In 1840 the Podhrad market consisted of 117 houses with 1817 inhabitants. These included seven Israelite houses with 20 families, the castle district consisting of nine houses with 55 inhabitants, the Podskal, Hammer and Zamost settlements, the Hřibecny and Neu Thiergarten single layers, the Neu Thiergarten hunter's house and the stately brick kiln. Podhrad had the privilege of holding three annual fairs and was the seat of the administrative district for the Frauenberg rule with 72 villages and shares in a further seven. In the market town there was a farm, a brewery, a distillery, a potash boiler, a mill with a board saw and eleven inns. Podhrad was the parish for the villages of Baurowitz (Bavorovice) and Kronfellern and the farms of Wondrow and Křesin. Until the middle of the 19th century, Podhrad was always subject to the Frauenberg rule.

After the abolition of patrimonial Podhrad formed from 1850 with the districts Podskalí (Podskal) and Zámostí (Zamost) a market town in the Budweis district . Podhrad was the seat of a district court. In 1888 Johann Adolf II. Prince zu Schwarzenberg died there . On October 4, 1907 Podhrad received city rights. The majority of the population in the village was Czech-speaking. In 1910 the community had 2835 inhabitants, of whom 2788 were Czechs and 43 Germans. The city of Podhrad had 1,462 inhabitants, 1,419 of them Czechs and 39 Germans. 780 Czechs lived in Zámostí, 589 Czechs and four Germans in Podskalí. After the name of the castle Hluboká (Frauenberg) had been used as an alternative to Podhrad since the end of the 19th century , it was officially renamed Hluboká (Frauenberg) in 1912 . The official name addition nad Vltavou was introduced on November 19, 1923.
