Komořany (German Kommern or Kimmern , formerly also Chomoran, Komoran, Komorzany, Komržany ) was a village four kilometers west of the city of Brüx (now Most ) in the Czech Republic .

With increasing deterioration of the habitat due to the operation of a coal power plant and a coal processing plant near Kommern, the place lost a large part of its population. The village was incorporated into Most and most of the houses were demolished in 1986.

history

The village was located on the lake of the same name, which was already settled in the Stone Age (around 8,300 years before our era). Excavations also indicate that it was inhabited until the time of Roman rule. The first written record dates from 1250 when King Wenceslas the monastery Ossegg parts of the site and the associated lands donated. This donation was confirmed in 1341 by Johann von Luxemburg . In the second half of the 15th century, the place finally had three masters. In addition to the Ossegg monastery, part of the Landeswarte castle and part belonged to the lords of Rothenhaus . The latter part went to Bohuslav von Michalowitz in 1621, to whom it was confiscated in the same year and to Wilhelm the Younger von Lobkowicz . The lands of the Landeswarte Castle were sold to the city of Brüx in 1595. In 1654 Kommern held the Lords of Lobkowitz , Martin Michna and the city of Brüx. From 1689 until the land reform in 1848, Kommern belonged to the reign of Neusattl-Eisenberg.

The village, which made its living from fishing and agriculture, had 17 agricultural settlements, 25 cottagers and 5 villagers in the 17th century. In 1861 the number of farmers grew to 49, and 3 tailors, a blacksmith, butcher, shoemaker and 1 Jewish cloth merchant lived here. Kommern has a total of 464 inhabitants, whose number increased to 1,512 (1893) and 2,920 (1930) after the start of coal mining in the Jupiter and Germania mine opened in 1875, later Fortuna (1883). The proportion of the Czech population was around 50 percent.

As a result of mining, the well-known mineral spring was closed in 1878. The chapel, built in 1701, was demolished in 1838. The pseudo-Gothic chapel from 1846 was lost in the 20th century. Only the plague column from the 17th century that was moved to Wteln remained . In 1991 the place had no residents. The remnants of the settlements are largely abandoned today (2009), some houses are ruined, and some of the regionally based small businesses have moved away.
