history
The first written mention of Tuschkau as the property of the Kladrau monastery from 1115 has proven to be a subsequent forgery of the monastery. The village arose on the old trade route from Prague to Nuremberg and was only acquired by the cladrau abbot Rainer in 1243 from a knight Dřizislav. There was already a parish church in the village in 1383, but today's parish church of St. John the Baptist was not built until 1765 by the Benedictines of the Kladrau monastery. In 1543 Tuschkau was raised to the rank of city by Ferdinand I.
In the 19th century, Tuschkau became the seat of a district court and received a railway connection to the state railway line Vienna - Gmünd - Eger with a train station in Tuschkau-Kosolup. At the beginning of the 20th century, the agricultural town had a beer brewery , glove factory and a mill.
In order to avoid confusion with the village of Tuschkau, which is located near the city and which had 486 German inhabitants in 1900, the place name Tuschkau Stadt has recently been used for the city and the place name Tuschkau Dorf for the village .
After the First World War , the region with the town of Tuschkau Stadt was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 . Due to the Munich Agreement , the place came to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the district of Mies , administrative district of Eger , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland until 1945 . After the end of the Second World War , the German-speaking inhabitants of Tuschkau were largely expropriated and expelled .
Demographics
Until 1945 Tuschkau was mostly populated by German Bohemia , which were expelled.
