history

The Kdyně ironworks belonging to the Popovice manor has been documented since the middle of the 14th century. At the end of the 15th century, King Ladislaus Jagiello left the Popovice estate together with Koněprusy to Vaněk von Svárov. In 1544 Jan Karel von Svárov ( Karl von Swarow ) was entered in the land register as the owner of the Popovice and Koněprusy estates. The place name Karlova Huť is probably derived from him. He was followed by his only daughter Katharina and her husband Zdeněk Otto von Loß. This sold the goods Popovice and Koněprusy in 1586 to Johann the Elder. Ä. Boogers from Lobkowicz to Točník . His son Georg lost all property in 1593 because of an intrigue against Emperor Rudolf II . In 1594 the confiscated Točník lordship was combined with the Zbiroh lordship and the royal court to form a cameraman whose captain had his seat in the Zbiroh castle. In 1595 the first blast furnace in Bohemia was built in Karlova Huť. The ore was supplied by the iron ore mines on the Krušná hora near Neujoachimsthal . Further processing took place in the iron hammers from Popovice and the Karlshütte hammer. The blacksmiths' settlements Schmiedberg and Karlsberg were built south of Karlshütte at the beginning of the 17th century . The administration and income of the Königshofer share of the cameraman Zbirow were assigned to the kk Montan-Aerar in 1834 as the kk Montan-Herrschaft or Berg-Cameralherrschaft Königshof. It remained subordinate to the kk Oberamt Zbirow, but was given an administrator.

In 1846 the village of Karlshütten or Karlowé Hutě in the Berauner district consisted of 15 houses with 231 inhabitants, including a Protestant Helvetic Confession . The lordship maintained a blast furnace and an iron hammer with a total of 80 workers. There was also a kk shift office , an ore pounding mill and an inn in Karlshütten . The one-layer Karlsberg ( Na Vršku ) , which consists of four houses, lay apart . The 30 Metzen eleven Massl great Karl Hüttener pond was drained and used as arable land. Two quarries were operated on Mount Kosow, one of them at the Litohlaw mill. The parish was Počapl. Until the middle of the 19th century, the village remained subordinate to the Imperial and Royal Montan rule.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Karlova Huť / Karl huts after 1850 a district of the municipality Králův Dvůr in the judicial district Beroun. In 1860 the princes von Fürstenberg bought the coal and steel lordship of Königshof and began to expand the ironworks. Ores from the iron mines in Nučice and on the Hrouda near Zdice were also used for smelting . The ores from the Krušná hora and the Hrouda were transported to the ironworks by lorry cable cars. In 1868 the village was assigned to the Hořowitz district . Max Egon II zu Fürstenberg sold the ironworks in 1880 to the Bohemian Mining Society, which expanded it to include a large rolling mill in Popovice at the beginning of the 20th century. A cement factory was built next to the iron and steel works in 1898. In the same year, the Königshof – Beraun – Koněprus railway ( Drobná dráha Králův Dvůr - Beroun - Koněprusy , KBK), which connected the cement factory with the limestone quarries in the area, started operations. In 1905, a villa settlement for the hut officials was built in Karlshütten. A wooden bell tower was also erected at the same time. In 1909 the Prague Iron Industry Company took over the ironworks and rolling mill.

In 1936 Karlova Huť was assigned to the Okres Beroun. After the end of the Second World War, the Prague Iron Industry Company was nationalized in 1945. The Karlova Huť cement factory was expanded to become the largest in Czechoslovakia. In 1960, the Suchomasty reservoir was built southeast of Karlova Huť and the Litohlavy mill was demolished. The 760 mm small railway Králův Dvůr - Beroun - Koněprusy was shut down in 1962 and the line was later dismantled. The lorry cable car operation from Krušná hora and Hrouda to the hut was discontinued in the 1960s. The bell tower was also demolished during this time. On January 1, 1980, the place was incorporated into Beroun as the district Beroun-Karlova Huť . The blast furnace operation in the Karlova Huť ironworks was stopped in the 1980s. On November 24, 1990, Karlova Huste broke away from Beroun and became part of the Městys Králův Dvůr again. In 1991 the village had 365 inhabitants, in the 2001 census there were 348 people in the 54 houses of Karlova Huť.
