history

Meinhardesdorf was first mentioned in writing in 1281, when Chotěboř von Retschitz left the Krimove estate , including the associated villages, to the Teutonic Order in Komotau . The village is said to have been originally laid out as a charcoal burner settlement to the west of the Herrnsteinberg and then relocated to the valley due to lack of water. After lengthy disputes with the Bohemian Crown, Wenceslaus IV took advantage of the order's weakness after the Battle of Tannenberg in 1410 and confiscated its property. In 1411 Wenceslaus expelled the order from the country. Subsequently, the village became part of the Chomutov rule. When they were ransomed from their subservience, the city of Komotau also bought the village of Meinhardesdorf in 1605. From then on, its residents were obliged to do military service at Gut Schönlind , which belonged to the Free Royal City . In the berní rula of 1654, 11 farms, four Chalupners and one day laborer are shown for Meinhardesdorf. Two other farms have desolate. Over time, the place name changed to Merzdorf . In the middle of the 18th century a single class village school was established. In 1787 Merzdorf consisted of 32 houses.

After the abolition of patrimonial Merzdorf formed from 1850 a political municipality in the judicial district of Sebastiansberg and Komotau . In the same year the chapel of St. Consecrated to Florian. In 1875 the Komotau-Reitzenhain railway was put into operation by the Buschtěhrad Railway . The halt in Märzdorf (later: Menhartice ) was not opened until May 15, 1933, after the community had pushed for a railway connection at the beginning of the 1930s. By 1895 Merzdorf had grown to 41 houses. The inhabitants of the village lived from cattle breeding and agriculture, which was not very productive due to the harsh climatic conditions on the Ore Mountains ridge. That is why lace making and sewing were carried out at home. In 1882 a memorial for Joseph II was erected in Märzdorf . In the first half of the 20th century, the community name set Märzdorf by 1924 and the Czech name was Menhartice introduced. Until 1918 the village was inhabited exclusively by members of the German ethnic group, after the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1921, Märzdorf also had five Czech residents. After the Munich Agreement , the community was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Komotau district until 1945 . In 1939 the community had 152 inhabitants. At the end of the Second World War, the place was bombed. After the war ended, Menhartice came back to Czechoslovakia and the German residents were expelled . The repopulation of the village was only possible to a limited extent. In 1948 Menhartice was incorporated into Křimov . The operation of the train stop ended when the passenger traffic to Hora Sv. Šebestiána on May 9, 1948. Between 1953 and 1958 the Křimov drinking water dam was built below Stráž. Since the villages of Stráž and Menhartice were in the catchment area of ​​the dam, they were evacuated in 1958.

At the site of the village there is now a bush in which there are wall remains and ponds. To the north-west of the desert on the Kraví hora lies an abandoned barracks of the Czechoslovak army .
