Horšovský Týn (German Bischofteinitz ) is a town in Okres Domažlice in West Bohemia in the Czech Republic with around 5000 inhabitants. The historic city center was declared an urban monument reserve in 1953 .
Geographical location
The city is located in western Bohemia at 376 m above sea level. M. on the Radbuza ( Radbusa ), about 40 km southwest of Pilsen .
history
From the middle of the 13th century, a merchant's settlement was built on the right bank of the Radbuza in the settlement area of the West Slavic Chods , which belonged to the property of the Archbishops of Prague . Opposite her, Archbishop Jan z Dražic had a castle, the Horšovský Týn Castle , built in the Gothic style, next to which his successor Tobias von Bechin 1286-1296 had another settlement of new settlers built in inheritance . Together with the original settlement, which is now called Velké předměstí ( Great Suburb ), this formed the later town of Bischofteinitz. In the years 1422 and 1431 the city, which remained Roman Catholic, successfully defended itself against an army group of the Hussites under Andreas Prokop the Great under the leadership of the burgrave Zdenko Drštka, known as Kolwin von Ronsperg (von Ramsperg) . During the relief in 1422, the besieged city Count Palatine Johann von Pfalz-Neumarkt came to the rescue.
After the archbishops of Prague had owned Bischofteinitz and the associated villages for several centuries without interruption, the rule and town of Bischofteinitz belonged to members of the Lobkowitz von Hassenstein family in succession from 1539 to 1620 . After the Thirty Years' War , the large estates went to the Counts Trauttmansdorff , who owned the castle until it was expropriated in 1945. Prince Ferdinand Trauttmansdorff-Weinsberg (1803-1859), ruler of Bischofteinitz, married to Princess Anna von und zu Lichtenstein (* 1820) promoted the development of the city. In the course of the 17th and 18th centuries, the previously bilingual city gradually became almost entirely German-speaking through extensive trade relations from Prague to Regensburg. Bischofteinitz was the capital of the Bischofteinitz district of the same name in the Kingdom of Bohemia in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy .
After the First World War , the region was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 . Czech immigration began as early as the late 19th century and especially after the end of the war in 1918 . According to the 1930 census, the city had a total of 2,663 inhabitants, of which 484 were Czechs. According to the Munich Agreement , Bischofteinitz belonged from 1938 to 1945 to the district of Bischofteinitz , administrative district of Eger , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland of the German Empire . Residents of Jewish faith were persecuted, expropriated, deported to assembly camps or fled abroad.
- Expulsion of the Germans
After the Second World War , the German-speaking population was expelled from Bischofteinitz . Her property confiscated based on Beneš Decree 108 and the Catholic Church expropriated . The Czech Republic made no compensation for the confiscated assets. Most of the expellees came to Bavaria and formed the Bischofteinitz home district in Furth im Wald . V.
The city was taken over by Czech-speaking new settlers. From the Horšovský Týn Castle , which was rebuilt in 1547 by Agostino Galli in the Renaissance style, the originally Gothic castle has preserved massive foundation walls, deep vaults, the palas , portals and splendidly vaulted halls. In addition, two Gothic churches and the former Capuchin monastery have stood the test of time in the city .
Demographics
Until 1945 Bischofteinitz was predominantly settled by German Bohemia , which were expelled.
