history

Oberschneedorf was probably founded in the first half of the 17th century by the Goldenkron monastery. The first written mention of the village took place in 1654 in the Berní rula . Together with the other monastery estates, Oberschneedorf also became the property of Prince Schwarzenberg in 1785 as a result of the abolition of the Goldenkron monastery and became part of the allodial rule of Krumlov .

In 1840 the Dominikaldorf Ober-Schneedorf consisted of 30 houses with 231 German-speaking residents. The Neuhäuser or Neubauer ( Dvojdomí ) and the snow houses ( Nové Chalupy ) were off the beaten track . The parish was Wallern . Until the middle of the 19th century, Ober-Schneedorf remained subject to the allodial rule of Krumlov.

After the lifting of patrimonial formed upper Schneedorf / Šnedorf 1849 with the districts under Schneedorf , Neuhauser or snow houses ( Nove Chalupy ) and two stores ( Dvojdomí ) a municipality in the jurisdiction Prachatitz . From 1868 the community belonged to the Prachatitz district . On November 3, 1874, Oberschneedorf was assigned to the newly established judicial district of Wallern . At the end of the 19th century Horní Šnedorf and Horní Schneedorf were used as Czech place names. In 1900 the core town consisted of 20 houses and had 125 inhabitants. Ten years later, 146 people lived in the 30 houses in Oberschneedorf , and there was a school and an inn in the village. In 1921 the village consisted of 30 houses and had 182 inhabitants. The Czech place name Horní Sněžná was introduced in 1924. In 1930 the community Oberschneedorf had 464 inhabitants; 157 people lived in the 32 houses of the core town. In October 1938, as a result of the Munich Agreement , the village was added to the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the Prachatitz district . In 1939 there were 448 people in the community of Oberschneedorf. After the end of World War II , Horní Sněžná came back to Czechoslovakia. The German Bohemian population was expelled until 1946 on the basis of the Beneš decrees ; in October 1946, the social democratic Guschlbauer family, the last Germans were evacuated from the community. The repopulation of the village with Czechs did not succeed; In 1947 the community only had 57 inhabitants. In 1948 it was incorporated into Chlum. Most of the new residents left the village after a short time; In 1950, only seven people lived in Horní Sněžná's 30 houses. Almost all of Horní Sněžná's houses were demolished in the 1960s. At the 1970 census, Horní Sněžná had no permanent residents. Today Horní Sněžná only consists of a few ruins, overgrown orchards and stone walls. The mountain meadows around Horní Sněžná are used as pastureland. A transmission tower for mobile communications was built to the west of the desert.
