history
The village was first mentioned in 1370. The surrounding villages of Grün, Kohling, Schwand and Steinbach were parish into the St. Laurenzi Church of Lobs. From 1850 Lobs formed a political municipality in the district of Falkenau with the districts Grün, Kohling, Schwand and Steinbach. After the Munich Agreement in 1938, the community was incorporated into the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the district of Falkenau an der Eger . After the end of the Second World War, the place came back to Czechoslovakia. In 1946 the Germans were expelled. The village was not repopulated and was incorporated into the Císařský les military training area, later the Prameny military training area (VVP). In 1947 the entire village was razed to the ground. After the VVP Prameny was abolished in 1954, the Lobzy corridors from the military area were incorporated into the municipality of Březová. Subsequently, a state farm was established in Lobzy. A new settlement was to be built for their employees in the 1960s, but interest in settling in the remote location in the mountains was only very moderate. In 1991 there were 14 people living in the village. In the 2001 census, eight residential buildings and 22 residents were counted.
