history

The first mention of Hora, which was also referred to as Harachy or Horachy , took place in 1272. At that time it belonged to the Rosenberg rule and was given as a fiefdom to the Vladiken von Hora / Harachy / Horachy. That is why it is regarded as the ancestral seat of the Harrach family , which later branched out into a Bohemian and an Austrian line. It was probably owned by Benesch von Harachy ( Beneš z Harachu / Horachu ), who is documented as a burgrave at Rosenberg Castle from 1259 to 1261 . In 1272 he and his brothers Jan and Bohuslav attested a document with which Heinrich and his brother Witiko VI. Rosenberg the monastery Hohenfurt the patronage of the Church of Raabs an der Thaya transferred. For the years 1291 to 1325, three other von Horach brothers are documented

  • Albert / Elblin [us], burgrave ( maršálek ) von Rosenberg
  • Budilaus / Budilov, who used the predicate ze Slavkova from 1305 and
  • Jakob / Jakub, who presumably died without descendants.

They confirmed among witnesses with in the May 13, 1306 Krumlov ( Chrumpnaw issued) certificate that Henry I of Rosenberg the Schlägl the Church of Friedberg had transferred and these provided with further donations.

While these three brothers and their descendants stayed in Bohemia, their three other brothers Dietrich Benesch / Dětrich Beneš, Buzek and Bohuněk / Bohunek, all of which are recorded for 1309, also acquired properties in Upper Austria .

According to the Rosenberger Urbar, Hora / Harachy belonged to the Harrachers until at least 1541, who then moved their headquarters to Nespoding ( Mezipotočí ) near Gojau . Ecclesiastically, Hora / Harachy belonged to the Ottau parish . In 1598 it consisted of three farms, each with more than 20 hectares, owned by Hans Woitsche, Lorenz Khönig and Jörg Watsche. According to the Theresian cadastre , it consisted of eight farmsteads around the middle of the 18th century. Two of them were mills, and a weaver is documented among craftsmen. Until the abolition of patrimonial rule in 1848, Hora belonged to the Rosenthal rule.

From 1850 Horachy formed a district of the municipality Ziering ( Čeřín ) in the district administration Kaplitz . Since 1877 the place was officially referred to as Harachy and from 1921 as Hora . In 1930 Hora consisted of 17 houses in which 93 Germans lived. After the Munich Agreement in 1938, Hora was incorporated into the newly established district of Kaplitz , which was part of the Reichsgau Oberdonau . After the Second World War, the exclusively German residents were expelled in 1946 . During the time of communist rule, Hora belonged to the border area of ​​the so-called Iron Curtain . 1950 Hora was incorporated together with Čeřín to Rožmitál na Šumavě. At that time the village consisted of 16 uninhabited houses, which were subsequently destroyed or left to decay.
