Horní Folmava (German Ober-Vollmau ) is a district of the municipality of Česká Kubice in Okres Domažlice in the Czech Republic .
geography
The village is located on the left side above the valley of the Teplá Bystřice ( Warm Pastritz ) in the Cham-Further valley ( Všerubská vrchovina ) and is about 500 meters from the Bavarian border.
history
In the Middle Ages, the residents had freedom like the royal pawns in the Künischen Mountains . Vollmau was ceded by Bavaria in 1707 to Bohemia, which was then part of the Habsburg monarchy . The village church of St. Anthony of Padua was consecrated in 1797. Ober-Vollmau formed its own parish with the parish villages Unter-Vollmau, Fichtenbach, Plassendorf, Böhmisch-Kubitzen and Deutsch-Kubitzen from 1837 until the expulsion of the German population in 1946.
The residents lived from the shingle production and the summer freshness . In 1930 Ober- and Unter-Vollmau and Fichtenbach had 1,141 inhabitants (915 Germans, 191 Czechs and 35 foreigners).
Many of the houses in Horní Folmava have disappeared due to the Iron Curtain . The church was renovated with the nearby cemetery. Casinos, gas stations and “Vietnamese markets” have settled in the village since the opening of the border. Horní Folmava is now part of the municipality of Česká Kubice . In 2001 around 60 people lived in Horní Folmava. The former glassmaker's settlement Bystřice ( Fichtenbach ) is today a desert .
