history

Well house of the Eugenienquelle
Statue of the Madonna (1699) from the demolished town of Preßnitz , moved to Klösterle around 1974

In the 12th century members recruited from the House of Přemyslid by locators German settlers in the almost uninhabited border region. The settlers were granted privileges and the landowners promised themselves economic benefits through their services. The place was first mentioned in writing in 1352. At the time of the built Benedictine Order from the monastery Postelberg of a provost , which was disbanded in the 13th century. After the end of the Saxon Fratricidal War , Apel Vitzthum the Elder was expelled from Roßla in 1452 and found a new basis for life in Bohemia in 1453 as a council of the local king and also acquired the manors of Klösterle and Neuschönburg .

As a result of the changed political situation after the Battle of the White Mountain in the Thirty Years' War in 1621, the Thun and Hohenstein family were able to acquire Klösterle Castle and other lands and they kept these until the middle of the 20th century until the end of World War II in May 1945. The last owner of Schloss Klösterle was Matthias Graf von Thun-Hohenstein. Under her rule, the baroque church "The Most Holy Trinity" was built, the castle was rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style and the castle park was completed as an English landscape garden with a sala terrena .

After the establishment of the first porcelain factories in Bohemia in 1792 in Schlaggenwald and in 1794 by Johann Nikolaus Weber (1734–1801), chief forest master and chief director of the Count Thun's lordship in Klösterle an der Eger, the city gained in economic importance. The factory was leased from Christian Nonne (1733–1813), founder of the porcelain factory Gießhübel near Luditz, and made beautiful porcelain, decorated and decorated. a. from the porcelain painter Anton Nabichl (* around 1840), that it became known throughout the Habsburg monarchy . The son of Johann Nikolaus Weber, Josef Weber, born on February 3, 1855 in Klösterle, took over the Sauerbrunn from the municipality on lease and made sure that the "Klösterle Sauerbrunn" became known on the markets, acquired the "Weberschaner Sauerbrunn" and the "Bitterwasserquelle Pullna" and began to turn Klösterle into a health resort.

In 1918 Klösterle became part of the newly created Czechoslovakia . As part of the Munich agreement , the city was the German Reich awarded, and it belonged from 1938 to 1945 for the district Kadan , Region of Eger , in the Reich District of Sudetenland . After the Second World War , the German-speaking residents were expelled as part of the Beneš decrees . The railroad transports of the displaced went via the Cheb (Eger) train station to Bavaria.

Porcelain is still produced in the city today under the “THUN” brand, based on the Thun-Hohenstein founding family.

Felixburg Castle in the Rašovice district (Roschwitz)

In 1576 Bohuslaw Felix von Lobkowitz near Roschwitz built the Renaissance Felixburg Castle, which was named after him. His wife Anna, née von Vitzthum , used the castle as a widow's residence and also died here. In 1588 Bohuslaw Joachim von Lobkowitz sold the castle to Wolf Soldan von Steinbach (Štampach). When the latter was unable to raise the purchase price, the castle immediately returned to the Lobkowitz's possession. In 1593 the castle was transferred to Magdalena von Salm . In 1596 she sold it to Leonhard von Steinbach , master of Egerberg Castle . In 1623 the Counts of Thun and Hohenstein received the rule of Klösterle with the castles of Klösterle and Felixburg. The Felixburg renaissance castle was used as a civil servant's residence until 1777. In 1777 the renaissance castle burns down. It is then partially restored, apparently in the baroque or late baroque style. In 1870 it was already uninhabited. In the square courtyard there were arched arcade galleries on three sides . The walls in the courtyard were decorated with frescoes depicting women and rabbits. Therefore the people called the castle "Hasenburg". In 1874 the event took place that sealed the end of the castle: the Thun'sche official administration in Klösterle sold the castle's roof and woodwork. After that, the stones were apparently transported away for building purposes or stolen. Around 1900 there were only minor ruins left. Viktor Karell also tells the legend "The Felixburg Castle".
