history

The village, founded in the 13th century, was located below Landstein Castle and belonged to the Landstein lordship. The place was first mentioned in a document in 1232. The village was then known as "Markt Landstein", which was later only recorded as "Markl". This "Markl" appeared in 1588 in the holdings of the Landstein estate. During the Thirty Years' War the place was plundered and the castle itself was starved. The castle survived this siege relatively unscathed and only burned down almost completely in 1771 after a lightning strike. The registers have been kept at Altstadt since 1668. In the 19th century, the village was incorporated into the village of Wittingau, where it remained until 1924.

One of the successor states of Austria-Hungary after the First World War was Czechoslovakia , which claimed the German-speaking areas of Bohemia , Moravia and Austrian-Silesia that had been German Austria (later Austria ) since the end of 1918 . The Treaty of St. Germain awarded these disputed territories to Czechoslovakia against the will of the German population there. With this, Markl, whose inhabitants were 94% German Moravians in 1910, also fell to the new state. In the interwar period , high unemployment among the German population, measures such as the land reform in 1919, the language ordinance in 1926, resettlements and new appointments to civil servant posts by people from the Czech ethnic group, led to increased tensions throughout the country. When the autonomy demanded by the Sudeten Germans was not negotiated and armed conflict threatened, the Western powers induced the Czech government to cede the peripheral areas to Germany. This was regulated in the Munich Agreement . Thus, on October 1, 1938, Markl became part of the German Reichsgau Niederdonau .

After the end of the Second World War - which claimed 7 victims - the territories transferred to Germany in the Munich Agreement were reassigned to Czechoslovakia . Czech "partisans" took over the place seamlessly and on May 28, 1945 drove all local residents wildly across the border into Austria. 29 people were able to stay in Austria, the others were transferred to Germany. According to the Beneš Decree 108, the property of the German residents of Markl, as well as German public and church property, was confiscated and placed under state administration. In 1961 Pomezí was incorporated into Staré Město pod Landštejnem .

Seal and coat of arms

A community seal is still unknown today. However, after 1924 the village had an image-free community temple. It was bilingual and almost completely matched the Dobroten stamp .
