The place was first mentioned in connection with the founding of the monastery in Kladrau by Duke Vladislav I in 1115. Kladrau was named as a town as early as 1212, and in 1233 the monastery church was consecrated in the presence of King Wenceslaus I. In 1334 the Benedictines of the monastery leased the Wossy farm to a Kladrau citizen . A parish church in Alt-Kladrau was mentioned for the first time in 1344. In 1441 Abbot Bussek of Vrtba gave the subjects of the manorial rule of the monastery as a result of the attacks of the Hussites under the general Andreas Prokop a letter of freedom, through which the subordinate population received relief in their duties and compulsory services. In 1566 a hospital was mentioned for the first time in a document.

In 1616, Emperor Matthias granted the citizens of Kladrau the right to seal them with red wax , and expanded the city's coat of arms, as it is still used today. In 1618 the citizens and subjects of the manor rebelled against the Roman Catholic monastery authorities. In 1771 the houses were given consecutive house numbers. In 1787, after the abolition of the monastery under Josephinism , an administrator of the religious fund was appointed to manage the large estates. In 1790 the city, located on the old Golden Road from Nuremberg to Pilsen , had its own magistrate until the revolutionary year of 1848 . In 1793, the holding of cattle and weekly markets was permitted. In a major fire in 1843, two thirds of the houses and craft businesses fell victim to the flames. The town church was badly damaged. The city was rebuilt with a new floor plan.

After the establishment of a parish in 1875, the towns of Benischmühle, Brod, Laas, Mühlhöfen, Tinchauermühle and Wrbitz were included in the Kladrau town church. In 1888 the post office was connected to the general telegraph network. Built in 1895 Bürgerschule was created using the existing primary school united under a single management. In 1911 there was an official permit to hold ten Monday markets a year.

After the First World War , Kladrau was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 . In 1923 the city received an electrical connection through the West Bohemian Electricity Association.

Due to the Munich Agreement , Kladrau belonged to the district of Mies , administrative district of Eger , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland of the German Reich from 1938 to 1945 . In 1945 the German-speaking inhabitants of Kladruby were expelled . In 1960, after a severe population decline and economic decline, Kladruby lost its town charter . Kladruby has been a city again since April 12, 2007.

Kladrau Monastery

Culture and sights

monastery

The Kladruby Monastery , which was founded by Duke Vladislav I in 1115 as a monastery of the Benedictine Order , is of great importance for the development of the city . The monastery church is now a national cultural heritage. The church was built as a Romanesque basilica during the 12th century and received its current appearance in the Baroque Gothic style in the years 1712 to 1726 by the Italian architect Johann Blasius Santini-Aichl .

After the dissolution of the monastery in favor of a religious fund by Josephinism , Prince Alfred I zu Windisch-Graetz bought the monastery and the associated lordship of subordinate villages for 275,500 gold pieces in 1825 , although part of the purchase price was not paid because of his services to the Austro-Hungarian monarchy had to become. He promoted the development of agriculture and the trade relations of the town of Kladrau. In Kladruby, a brewery was built in the former monastery in 1864. In 1918, when the princes Windisch-Grätz lost the family headquarters in Tachov as part of a land reform in Czechoslovakia , Ludwig Aladar von Windisch-Grätz moved to Kladruby and built a library there until the property was expropriated in favor of Czechoslovakia in 1945 and a family archive.
