history

The place Lohma can be traced back to the 12th century. In a document from the diocese of Regensburg from around 1143 there is the first documented evidence with "Ulricus de Luma" as a witness of the certification; In 1194 a “Udalricus de Luma” was mentioned on a deed of donation from Gottfried von Falkenberg ( Falkenberg Castle in the Upper Palatinate ). In 1316 the abbot of the Waldsassen monastery confirmed the donation of the place by the Eger citizen Hermann to the Lords of the Teutonic Order in Eger, today's Cheb . 1322 was Oberlohma on the list of pledged Egerland places .

In the 14th century Oberlohma developed into a profitable farming village. Five courtyards were owned by the castle in Eger, two by the Poor Clare Monastery and twenty-seven by the city council of Eger. The claw tax book , the muster book of the Egerland peasantry and the Egerer Urgichtenbuch contain the first family names and other legal events. In 1545 part of the village burned down, in 1625 during the Thirty Years War Swedish troops looted the place, in 1657 Oberlohma burned down again and in 1793 the church, a locality of Eger, was looked after by priests of the Teutonic Order. In 1390 "Loman das ober" belonged to a manorial estate of thirteen villages, which ended in 1848. The Catholic faithful were looked after by the Eger Jesuits until 1700 and then by chaplains from the city of Eger. There was an Israelite denomination whose cemetery has been preserved.

Since 1711 Oberlohma was its own parish. In 1744 the church was rebuilt, with a parsonage for the local chaplain. A schoolhouse is mentioned for 1557, when the place had adopted the Evangelical Lutheran Confession from 1554 to 1648. In the Counter Reformation this school died again. The baptism registers have been preserved since 1628, the trauma registers from 1626 and the death registers from 1656. In 1831 a trivial school (parish school) was established for Unterlohma, Sirmitz, Stadl, Kropitz with Kammerdorf and Tanneberg, the catchment area of ​​which changed again in 1904.

In 1849, Oberlohma was the seat of an extensive community on a busy connecting road from Adorf / Vogtl. and Asch via Schlada to Franzensbad and Eger. It had a rapid economic development due to the influx of professionals and gradually became a district of the emerging spa town of Franzensbad. The New World district was built between the railway line and Friedhofsallee. Pensioners settled there and founded numerous associations. After the First World War in 1918 and the establishment of Czechoslovakia , Oberlohma had a social democratic majority. The spelling of the place name was now Czech Horni Lomany . There were disputes with local farming families and noble families.

After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the Nazi state . Until 1945 it belonged to the district of Eger .

After the end of the Second World War, in May 1945, the German-speaking population was expropriated and forced to leave the place.
