history
In the second half of the 12th century the settlement of the border forest of the Přemyslids began by the Premonstratensians of the Mühlhausen monastery , who established a provost house in Toužim. 1420, the Convention had fled from the Hussite from Milevsko to Toužim, and at times of Abbot Peter I pledged the Order of 1423 some of his goods to Henry X of Petschau , who his rule Petschau struck.
In 1427 Jakoubek z Vřesovic Toužim conquered and expelled the Premonstratensians. The area was depopulated by the plague epidemic of 1380 and the Hussite Wars . The bailiffs of Plauen brought German settlers into the country. The old settlement of Schiekenplos (Schickenplatz) had a chapel that was expanded into a church in 1464. After the Plauen bailiffs had destroyed their economic center Útvina during the fighting with the warring Vřesovice in 1469, Georg von Podebrady had the town of Toužim built two kilometers south-east under the protection of the Tausim castle. When Útvina, located on the main road from Prague to Eger , was rebuilt in the 1470s , Heinrich III. von Plauen founded a town by the Bohemian King Vladislav II in 1488 on the state road in the area of the Bečov rule in the direct vicinity of Útvina. He wanted to create an antipole of his rule Bečov and Königswart on the border to the territory of his archenemy Jan II of Vřesovice, in order to damage it economically. The king granted the town of Schönthal , which was founded in the area of the Schiekenplos settlement , extensive privileges, including holding a yearly and weekly market. Heinrich von Plauen settled German Catholics in the new town, which was given a German name, in order to create a counterpoint to Toužim, whose population at that time consisted of 70% Czechs. A little later, Jindřich von Vřesovice sold the Toužim estate to Henry III. from Plauen.
Heinrich III died in 1519. He was followed by his son Heinrich IV von Plauen . In 1520 the parish in Schönthal became Protestant and remained so until 1623. In 1538 Heinrich IV. Acquired the rule of Toužim as hereditary property. He reassigned the goods in Schönthal to Toužim. After Heinrich V died in 1565 without heirs, Heinrich Nikolaus Lobkowicz von Hassenstein inherited the rule. His son Christoph lost his property as a rebel after the battle of the White Mountain and went into exile in Saxony as a Protestant. The rule was acquired in 1623 by the imperial general Julius Heinrich von Sachsen-Lauenburg . In the Berní rula , Schönthal was referred to as a town and consisted of 10 farmers, 13 sit-ins and 17 gardeners. On February 1, 1656, a fire destroyed the entire town, consisting of 52 residential buildings, including the town hall, brewery, malt house, salt house, meat bank, inn and school. After the death of Prince Julius Franz von Sachsen-Lauenburg , Schönthal inherited his daughter Franziska Sibylla as part of the Schlackenwerther share and brought her goods into the marriage with the Türkenlouis . He was followed by his son August Georg Simpert , with whom the house of Baden-Baden became extinct in 1771 in the male line. His Bohemian estates fell to the Bohemian Crown . The Bohemian Queen Maria Theresa contractually agreed with August Georg Simpert's niece Elisabetha Augusta that the Bohemian goods would be used for life.
Elisabetha Augusta leased the Toužim estate to her cousin Johann I von Schwarzenberg († 1789) for 15 years in 1783 . After his death, his son Joseph II entered the contract. In 1799 Schönthal fell to the Bohemian Chamber together with the Toužim reign . In the 18th century, three craft guilds were formed. In 1837 Alfred von Beaufort-Spontin acquired the rule. He was the last feudal owner of the town. The construction of the Kaiserstraße from Pilsen to Elbogen between 1845 and 1848 provided Schönthal with an important transport link. After the abolition of patrimonial rule, the town of Schönthal in the Karlsbad district was established in 1850 . In 1907 the city was assigned to the Teplá district .
After the First World War , Schönthal was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 . In 1930 Schönthal had 488 inhabitants. Due to the Munich Agreement , the city came to the German Reich in 1938 and until 1945 belonged to the district of Tepl , Eger district , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland . In 1939 Schönthal had 465 inhabitants.
Towards the end of the Second World War , on April 7, 1945, a death march of 1,500 Buchenwald concentration camp inmates led through Schönthal to Dachau concentration camp . On May 8, 1945, American troops occupied the southern part of the city and stopped on the demarcation line formed by the Pilsen-Karlsbad road. On May 21, 1945 Schönthal was occupied by the Red Army . After the war ended in 1945, the city was taken over by Czechoslovakia . Czech settlers came to the village from the villages of Křelovice , Jiřičky, Dobrá Voda , Benátky, Proseč , Libkova Voda , Obořiště and Vratišov near Pelhřimov .
The Germans were expelled between March 15 and July 15, 1946 . They were deported from the Teplá assembly camp to Germany in ten transports. It was possible to take clothes and laundry up to 50 kg with you. After the expulsion, all cultural traditions in the city died out. Four of the residents of Schönthal died during the deportation.
On April 23, 1947, a driverless American Douglas C-47 Dakota crashed in the fields southeast of the town. The pilot had lost his orientation in Germany and had flown into Czechoslovak territory. After the fuel ran out, the crew jumped over Karlovy Vary and left the machine to itself.
Krásné Údolí was incorporated into the Okres Toužim in 1949, and town charter was not renewed in 1948. Krásné Údolí has belonged to the Okres Karlovy Vary since 1961. In 1961 Odolenovice, Přílezy and Český Chloumek were incorporated. On January 1, 1981, Krásné Údolí was incorporated into Útvina. In 1990 the municipality of Krásné Údolí came into being again. On February 29, 2012, it regained city status.
