history

The first written mention of the village, which was founded in the course of the colonization activities of the Goldenkron monastery , took place in 1300. Later the village was attached to the Netolice dominion . With the creation of the Vlhlavský rybník fish pond, parts of the fields of Mahouš were flooded in 1384. In 1723 Mahouš was added to the newly formed parish Němčice . In the major fire of 1784, 36 burned down. In 1835 Mahausch consisted of 39 houses with 312 Czech-speaking residents. The single layer Hlodačka to the southwest belonged to the village . The parish and school location was Němčice. Until the middle of the 19th century, the village remained subject to the allodial rule Nettolitz belonging to the Prince Schwarzenberg.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Mahouš / Mahausch with the district Němčice and the monolayer Hlodačka 1850 a municipality in the district administration Prachatice / Prachatice. In 1878 Němčice broke away from Mahouš and formed its own municipality. After the Munich Agreement and the resulting separation of the Prachatitz district, Mahouš remained with the "remaining Czech Republic" in 1938 and was added to the Písek district. In 1948 the community was assigned to the newly formed Okres Vodňany. After its abolition, Mahouš was assigned to the Okres Prachatice in 1960 and incorporated into Mahouš. In 1976, the large municipality Němčice was formed with the incorporations of Babice , Chvalovice and Mahouš. After a referendum, Mahouš broke up again in 1992 and has since formed its own community. In 1995 Mahouš was declared a National Monument Reserve of Folk Architecture.
