history

The village of Lambs was first mentioned in a document in 1339, when Nikolaus Winkler was enfeoffed by Johann von Luxemburg with the place that had previously belonged to the noble family Notthracht . In 1407 the parish was established in Lambs. A year later, the place was the seat of the knight Wenzel von Thein. In the 16th century the village had brewing rights and a brewery. The Schlicken later became the owners of Lanz. In 1633 a plague epidemic broke out in the village.

After the Thirty Years' War the evangelical silts lost their property; the gentlemen von Nostitz bought it . Lanz remained Protestant for a long time; Not until 1661 was the inauguration of a Catholic pastor. The road from Falkenau to Graslitz was built around 1840 . Until the middle of the 19th century, when the St. Josephi-Zeche lignite mine was sunk, Lanz was a farming village whose residents lived from growing hops. Around 1840 the village had 451 inhabitants and consisted of 61 houses.

After the abolition of patrimonial Lanz formed a district of the community of Zwodau in the Falkenau district from 1850 . The municipality of Lanz was established in 1875.

After the First World War , the region was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 . In the 1920s, the Jiří mine began mining. 1930 the community had 2,099 residents who were mostly German, in 1939 there were 1913. Because of the Munich Agreement the community Lanz was incorporated into the German Reich and was from 1938 to 1945 for the district of Sokolov , Region of Eger , in the Reich District of Sudetenland . After the end of the Second World War the place was taken over by Czechoslovakia and the expulsion of the Germans began .

Around 1950 the incorporation of Týn including Lesík took place. Due to the advancing lignite mining of the Jiří mine, the districts Lesík and Lvov including the road from Sokolov to Kraslice were demolished in the 1960s. At the end of the 1960s, the mining operations on Jiří ended. In 2005 the demolition of the old municipal office began; In 2006 a new building was built in its place.
