history
The place was probably built between the 13th and 14th centuries. The village and the fortress Oknaw were first mentioned in writing in 1359 as the property of the knight Andreas von Duppau. He was followed by Erhard von Duppau between 1368 and 1410. A parish church can be found in Oknaw since 1363 . In the 15th century, the place was surrounded by a wide moat to protect it from game and predators. Over time, the village was called Oknov , Okunov , Okunow , Vokonov, and Okenau . In 1475 Nikolaus Žďárský von Žďár was the owner of the village, who together with Wilhelm von Duppau in 1492 established a customs post on the Eger. Later Wilhelm von Duppau became the sole owner, from 1499 he also levied a duty on the mill. In the first half of the 16th century, the Lords of Vitzthum acquired the village and added it to the rule of Neuschönburg . The fortress was mentioned for the last time when the Vitzthum inheritance was divided in 1540, when the Neuschönburg estates were divided into three. Owners of the share, which included Okounov, Hora ( Horn ), Tunkov ( Tunkau ) and Telcov ( Töltsch ), were u. a. from 1559 Peter Boryně von Lhota and Nezabylice , who was murdered the following year. His property was divided between his two daughters. Benigna von Lhota received Nezabylice and Margarethe von Lhota Okounov. Later the brothers von Stensdorf followed on Lubau, who sold the goods to Christoph Vitzthum on Klösterle . During the Thirty Years War, troops passing through attacked the village in 1621. Shortly after the pillage and pillage, the plague broke out and the survivors fled the village. Because of his participation in the class uprising of 1618 , Christoph Vitzthum was posthumously expropriated in 1623 and the rule of Klösterle was sold to Christoph Simon von Thun in the same year . After the end of the war, resettlement began and in 1649 there were 26 families in Okenau. Livestock and agriculture as well as wood processing formed the basis of life for the residents. In 1778 Okenau consisted of 35 houses. The first school was set up in the following year, and in 1825 it moved into a new school building. In 1846, 134 people lived in the 38 of the village. Until the middle of the 19th century, Okenau was part of the Klösterle lordship belonging to Counts Thun and Hohenstein.
After the abolition of patrimonial Okenau / Okúnov formed a community in the Kaaden district from 1850 . In 1863 a major fire destroyed the church, the rectory, the school and six other houses in Okenau. The schoolhouse was rebuilt in 1864, and in 1913 the school moved into a large new building. In 1869 Horn / Hora , Grupitz / Kruptice , Geigenmühle / Houslový Mlýn , Woslowitz / Oslovice , Krondorf / Korunní and Stengles / Kamenec were incorporated. The Kaaden - Eger railway started running through the Egertal after 1871. In 1875 a volunteer fire brigade was founded. A brick factory was built in 1888. In 1890 Krondorf and Stengles broke up and formed their own community. In 1917, the first Pürstein saw and tool factory Hermann Pickart moved its headquarters from Pürstein to Okenau. In 1924 the Counts of Thun built a lime distillery. In 1925 there were 440 Germans and 3 Czechs in the village of Okenau. In 1930 the community of Okenau had 786 inhabitants. After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Kaaden district until 1945 . After the end of World War II, the village came back to Czechoslovakia and the German population was expelled . The settlement of Czechs was only possible to a limited extent. 1953 Okounov had 140 inhabitants. In the same year the Pickart factory was shut down and the corridors of the community were divided. The southern part with the districts Hora and Houslový Mlýn was incorporated into the new military training area Hradiště . At the beginning of 1961 the community came to Okres Chomutov and at the same time Kotvina was incorporated.
At the 2001 census, the Okounov municipality had 320 inhabitants, 195 of whom lived in Okounov village, 104 in Kotvina and 21 in Oslovice. The district of Krupice is uninhabited and consists only of a few dilapidated houses.
