Horní Výšina (German: Ringelberg , also Oberringelberg ) is a district of the municipality Halže in Okres Tachov , Czech Republic . It is located west of the town of Tachov (Tachau) in the Upper Palatinate Forest (Český les).
To the south-east of the village, in the area of the former municipality of Lučina (Sorghof), the Mies is dammed in the Lučina dam .
history
Ringelberg emerged after the Thirty Years' War in the border forest west of the city of Tachau, together with other scattered settlements such as Galtenhof . The first "Waldhäusl" settlements were already established during the reign of Tachau under Baron Johann Philipp Husmann ( Jan Filip Husmann in Czech ), but the actual settlement of Ringelberg only began long after his death, around 1670. The name Ringelberg - the houses were built "around the mountain" - is mentioned for the first time in the Theresian cadastre from 1713. At that time the place consisted of 33 houses.
Ringelberg belonged to the former Austrian monarchy under the rule of the Habsburgs. The border with Bavaria ran a few kilometers from the village in the west. It stayed that way even after the fall of the Austrian Empire in 1918 and the establishment of the first Czech Republic.
The pastoral care for the residents was initially carried out from Tachau. After the dissolution of the Paulaner monastery in Heiligen bei Tachau by Emperor Josef II, a separate parish was established in Hals due to an imperial decree of February 15, 1787 for the former western part of the Tachau parish. Galtenhof and Planer Brand belonged.
A new school house was built in 1881. Apart from the school, the Ringelberg community had no real estate worth mentioning.
The number of inhabitants in 1930 was 576 in 110 houses and by 1939 it had fallen to 513. 23 farmers with more than 5 hectares were active in agriculture, as well as 39 “ cottagers ” who owned between 2 and 5 hectares. The small farmers were often dependent on a second income, for example as forest workers or factory workers in the neighboring Galtenhof. A shoe last factory founded in 1866 was later leased as a wood turning shop by the Träger brothers.
After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Empire and until 1945 belonged to the Tachau district .
The Second World War ended for the population with the invasion of American troops from Galtenhof, who moved on to Hals. In the autumn of 1946, all of the forcibly evacuated Germans had left the village.
After the war, the municipality lost its independence and became part of Halže. The current development corresponds to only a small part of the former place. In 1991 the place had 13 inhabitants. In 2001 the village consisted of 8 houses in which 15 people lived.
