history

The place was founded in the first quarter of the 14th century in the course of the German colonization of the Eger area . Jeczengrun was first mentioned in writing in 1312, when the farms were assigned to the Waldsassen monastery . Later, the gentlemen von Hartenberg, the Eger bourgeois family Kager, Nikolaus Arnolt and the Gätzgrüner family were named as owners. The Gätzgrüner gave their property to the Waldsassen monastery. From 1383 Heinrich von Reißengrün tried unsuccessfully to buy back half of the village for the parish in Kulm, which was established by the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star .

In 1470 the Pergler von Perglas family acquired the Gätzgrün rule. Götz Pergler made Gätzgrün his seat. After 1500 Wolf Pergler expanded the village, which now expanded on both sides of the Leibitschbach . During this time the place had just over 100 inhabitants. The Reformation reached Gätzgrün in the second half of the 16th century. The Pergler family and many of the subjects became Protestant. The parish in Kulm remained Catholic despite the pressure exerted by the evangelical noble families. This prompted Johann Fabian Pergler and his brother Johann Matthias Pergler on Littengrün, together with Nikolaus Stolz von Simsdorf, to kidnap the Catholic priest Matthäus Pantaleon Schlosser on October 4, 1618 and arrest him at Elbogen Castle in order to appoint a Protestant pastor. After the Battle of White Mountain , the Lords of the Cross reinstated a Catholic priest. The Lords of Gätzgrün and Littengrün were confiscated and the Perglers were punished with the loss of a third of their property. After converting to Catholicism, they were pardoned in 1628. In 1651 Gatzengrün had 102 inhabitants and consisted of 26 houses, a manorial mill, a sheep farm and a brewery. The place formed a middle center and the estate also had the privilege of embarrassing jurisdiction . In 1687 Wolf Kaspar von Pergler acquired the Rauenkulm estate ( Drsný Chlum ) in addition to Gätzgrün . His successors expanded the property in 1747 to include Pochlowitz ( Pochlovice ), Leibitsch ( Liboc ) and the Neuhof ( Nový Dvůr ). In 1680 and 1742 there was an uproar among the subjects. At the beginning of the 18th century the name " Katzengrün" became common. With the construction of the road from Erfurt to Prague , an important trade route led through Katzengrün from the first half of the 18th century. At the end of the 18th century, Karl Anton Pergler sold Katzengrün to four subjects and, like his descendants, devoted himself to his military career. In 1843 the place had 583 inhabitants. In 1846 the businessman Josef August Hecht from Cheb bought all of Katzengrün's shares.

After the abolition of patrimonial Katzengrün / Kaceřov formed from 1850 a district of the community Maria Kulm in the district Falkenau / Falknov . Hop and flax cultivation shaped the place until the 19th century. The Katzengrün community was established in 1874. In the second half of the 19th century, lignite mining began in the Barbara mine northeast of Katzengrün. In 1913 operations at the Barbara-Josef colliery took place.

After the Munich Agreement in 1938 Katzengrün was added to the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the district of Falkenau an der Eger . After the war ended, the city returned to Czechoslovakia and the Germans were expelled. In July 1960, Horní Pochlovice was incorporated.
