After the siege of Aussig by the Hussites , the decisive battles of the Battle of Aussig took place on June 14, 1426 on Na Běhání . The beat of Andreas Prokop and Zikmund Korybut out Hussite one under the command of Boso of Vitzthum standing Meißnisches army of knights that the relief was indented from Aussig to Bohemia. About 4,000 men were killed on the German side, the number of Hussites who fell is not known.
To commemorate the battle, a stone column was erected on the Bihana in the 17th century. After the establishment of Czechoslovakia , an association was formed to erect a memorial to the important battle. The plans envisaged the construction of a museum memorial hall and an 18 m high tower in the shape of a Hussite shield with a chalice. However, the monumental project failed due to lack of funds, so that only the memorial hall could be realized. The memorial hall, made of stones from historically significant places, was inaugurated on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Aussig in 1926. After the German occupation, the memorial hall was blown up on June 21, 1941 by order of the Aussig District President Hans Krebs . The ruins of the memorial hall lay on the hill until 1953, after which they were removed and a simple memorial was erected from the remains of the hall.
The monument was dismantled in 1986 because the Chabařovice open-cast lignite mine began with the mining of Na Běhání. Then the individual parts of the monument were deposited in the Museum of Ústí nad Labem . In 2000 the monument was moved to a new location at St. John's Church near Chabařovice at the north-western foot of the hill.
There were several legends about the hill, including a. from the blood hole and from the pear tree on the Bihana.
