Kuhländchen: typical landscape near Neutitschein

Historic capital Neutitschein

The Kuhländchen ( Czech Kravařsko ) is a historical landscape in Moravia in the east of the Czech Republic . The Czech name Kravařsko is derived from the aristocratic family Krawarn ( Páni z Kravař ), who owned extensive property in the area, while the German translation was derived from Kráva = cow.

The Kuhländchen had around 100,000 German residents in 1930 . The capital was Neutitschein . Famous personalities like Johann Gregor Mendel from Heinzendorf and Sigmund Freud from Freiberg in Moravia come from the Kuhländchen. The vast majority of the German-speaking population of Kuhländchen and other parts of Czechoslovakia was expropriated after the end of World War II due to the Beneš decrees and expelled between 1945 and 1947 .
