history
The village was probably a fortified priory after acquiring the rule Chodov by the monastery Waldsassen at the junction of the 12th and 13th centuries. After the monastery got into economic hardship in the middle of the 14th century, it relocated the possessions in Münchhof, Chodov, Perglas and Scheben to Trost von Winkler, who had previously acquired the Falkenauer goods from the Nothaff .
The village was first mentioned in a document in 1437. In 1460, Johann and Nikolaus Hofmann can be verified as the owners of the fortified farm. In the meantime, the Münchhof came to the Schlicken from 1489 , but in the 16th century it was again owned by the Hofmann family. In 1599 Johann Friedrich Lochner von Dallwitz acquired the village and festivals from Adam Hofmann. During the Thirty Years War, Wolf Christoph Lochner supported the Saxons in 1631. His goods were confiscated and sold to Alexander von Boren in 1633. It was briefly followed by Count Nostitz auf Falkenau , from whom Julius Libštejnský of Kolovrat acquired it in 1652 .
The water festivals and the manor house ceased to exist at the end of the 18th century with the start of mining by the Antonius of Padua alum works, which extracted the gravel from the hanging wall of the brown coal seams. Until mining began, Münchhof was a purely agricultural village. After the abolition of patrimonial, Münchhof formed a political municipality in the Falkenau district from 1850 . In 1881 the village was connected to the railway network by the Chodau – Neudek local railway. By 1898 the place expanded to the northwest to the train station. In addition, the miners' colony of the Montan- und Industrialwerke AG was built in the south . JD Starck . At that time Münchhof consisted of 84 houses and the colony of 12.
From 1920 Münchhof / Mnichov belonged to the Elbogen district . In 1930 the community had 989 inhabitants. As a result of the Munich Agreement , Münchhof was annexed to the German Reich in 1938. In 1939 there were 931 people in Münchhof. From 1938 to 1945 the community was part of the German district of Elbogen and came back to Czechoslovakia after the end of the Second World War. From 1949 to 1960 Mnichov belonged to the Okres Karlovy Vary-okolí.
After the communists came to power, a discussion about the place name began. The place name commission had come to the conclusion that there were too many "Mnichov" in the country and that the name was also historically burdened by the Munich Agreement. The local national committee (MNV) did not agree and referred to the historical origin from the time of the monastery rule. In response to pressure from the district national committee, which proposed a renaming to "Větrná" (= wind) and saw a risk of confusion with Mnichov in Slavkovský les , which kept his name, the MNV finally proposed the new name "Mnichovanka". On May 9, 1955, after long negotiations, the name was changed to Mírová. Since 1961 the municipality belongs to the Okres Karlovy Vary. From 1976 to 1990 Mírová was a district of Karlovy Vary . The community has existed again since 1990.
