history

It is assumed that the valley of the Kleine Elbe was already settled at the beginning of the second wave of colonization between 1250 and 1260. The first written mention of Langnow and Langnaw took place in 1355. In 1359 the place was called Lognow . The village belonged to the royal district of Trutnov , whose goods were managed by various administrators under the supervision of a castle bailiff. Charles IV made use of his patronage rights himself in 1362 and appointed a pastor for the Church of St. James. At that time the place was one of the most important villages in the western part of the district. During the Hussite Wars , Lagnow was visited in 1424 by Jan Žižka's troops moving to Hostinné . The inhabitants of the village in the 15th century were miners who extracted iron ore, as well as lumberjacks, charcoal burners and blacksmiths - agriculture only played a subordinate role. Other forms of the name were Lanow (1437), Langenau (1564), Langnau (1620) and Langenaw (1626). In 1525 the area was separated from the Trautenauer fief and left to Johann Tetour von Tetov . He sold the property in 1533 to the royal chief miner Christoph von Gendorf , who established the Hohenelbe rule .

A differentiation into several parts can be demonstrated since the 16th century. The oldest mention of Horní Lánov ( horzeyssi wes lanow ) took place in 1519, that of Dolní Lánov in 1542 in connection with the Niederrichter zu Langnaw , that of Prostřední Lánov ( Middle Langnaw ) in 1654 and that of Malý Lánov ( Kleingemein Langenau ) in 1657 In the 18th century, the agricultural use of the slopes on both sides of the valley gained importance. However, since it was not very productive, home weaving spread as a sideline. Several factories were built in the village in the 19th century. Nieder Langenau was the parish for Ober-, Mittel- and Klein Langenau and Schmidtdorf; the parish also had the local church of St. Josef in Niederhof since 1806 . Until the middle of the 19th century, the localities of the Hohenelbe lordship remained subject.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed means Langenau / Prostřední Lanov and upper Langenau / Horni Lanov 1850 two independent municipalities in the district administration Hohenelbe / Vrchlabí . In 1902 a Protestant parish church was built in Mittel Langenau. As a result of the Munich Agreement , both communities were annexed to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Hohenelbe district until 1945 . After the Second World War, the place came back to Czechoslovakia and the German population was expelled by the end of 1946. In the course of the municipal reform, Prostřední Lánov and Horní Lánov were merged into one municipality Lánov at the beginning of 1961, at the same time this was assigned to the Okres Trutnov as a result of the abolition of the Okres Vrchlabí. At the census of December 1, 1970, the community had 1,369 inhabitants. The church in Prostřední Lanov was demolished in 1979.

Local division

The community Lánov consists of the districts Horní Lánov ( Upper Langenau ) and Prostřední Lánov ( Middle Langenau ) and the settlement of Peklo. The Bíner desert ( Bienerthäuser ) lies on the corridor .
