history

The place was founded in the 12th century on the area of ​​a dissolved Meierhof. The layout of Kunas and the Ui dialect (Northern Bavarian) spoken until 1945 with its special Bavarian passwords indicate a settlement by Bavarian German tribes from the Upper Palatinate region, as they did after 1050, but especially in 12/13. Century took place. Over the centuries the name of the place changed several times. In 1487 they wrote “Kunniegow”, 1555 “Kuniow”, 1696 “Gunnesz” and finally in 1790 “Gunas” or “Kunas”.

Originally, the land boundaries of the place against Tieberschlag and Hosterschlag were the national borders between Austria and the Kingdom of Bohemia. After an agreement between Rudolf I and the Bohemian King Ottokar II Přemysl , the place came to the Kingdom of Bohemia. The place was part of the Neuhaus rule until the 17th century. Then it came to the rule of Neubistritz, with which Kunas remained until 1848. After the 17th century, Kunas was part of the freedom of Adam and from 1787 in Hosterschlag. From this year the registers of the place were also kept. The inhabitants of the place lived from cattle, forestry and agriculture. The Kunas also made weaving and embroidery at home. In addition to agriculture, there were also small businesses in the Kunas.

One of the successor states of Austria-Hungary after the First World War was Czechoslovakia , which claimed the German-speaking areas of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia that had been German Austria since the end of 1918 . The Treaty of St. Germain awarded the disputed territories against the will of the German population there, in 1910 this was 88% in Kunas, Czechoslovakia. Measures in the interwar period such as the 1919 land reform , the 1926 language ordinance, the resettlement and replacement of civil servants' posts by members of the Czech ethnic group led to tensions in Kunas, but also in the country in general, and the so-called Sudeten crisis . The Munich Agreement , which determined the cession of the Sudetenland to Germany, should resolve this situation. Accordingly, from October 1, 1938, Kunas belonged to the German Reichsgau Niederdonau .

After the end of the Second World War - which claimed 23 victims - the territories transferred to Germany in the Munich Agreement were reassigned to Czechoslovakia . On May 28, 1945 the place was occupied by a motorized group of Czechs, at the same time and system as the surrounding communities. They took some hostages and drove the German residents and finally the hostages across the border into Austria. There were four civilian deaths. 13 people remained in the place. According to the Beneš Decree 108, the property of the German residents was confiscated and placed under state administration.

In accordance with the original transfer goals of the Potsdam Communiqué , the Red Army demanded the deportation of all Sudeten Germans from Austria to Germany. Only a few families of the displaced could remain in Austria.

On June 14, 1964, the village was incorporated into the northern neighboring municipality of Člunek. In 2001 the village consisted of 33 houses in which 51 people lived.

Coat of arms and seal

The only known community seal was from the 19th century. It is a picture-less community stamp that was bilingual from 1919. The report shows that before that all legal matters were sealed by the village judges in Zinolten or Grambach.
