history

Mühlbach originated in the 11th century. The first written mention of the village "Muelpach" in the Egerland dates from the year 1322. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the village was devastated by Hussite and imperial troops who moved on the Kaiserstraße between Nuremberg and Eger that ran through Mühlbach . In 1575 an important, income-generating slate quarry was built. The registers with records of birth, marriage and death since 1610 and a parish memorial book from 1837 are preserved in the State Regional Archives in Pilsen. Since 1714 the writing form of the place was Mühlbach. In 1785 an alum factory was founded, which existed until 1833. Between 1841 and 1922 took place sinking of several coal mines.

After the abolition of the manors , Mühlbach formed a community in the judicial district of Eger and district of Eger from 1850 with the districts Liebeneck, Rathsam, Fischern, Markhausen, Pirk, Ober- and Unterkunreuth and Zettendorf . With the opening of the Schirnding - Eger line in 1883, the village received a railway connection. Construction of the Markhausen Bridge began in 1900. Until then there was a ford through the Eger (river) in Mühlbach . Between 1906 and 1907 a smaller concrete arch bridge was built, which was destroyed during the Second World War. Markhausen , Fischern and Rathsam broke away in 1920 and formed the community of Markhausen. In 1930 631 people lived in the community, on May 17, 1939 there were 626 and 1947 263. After the Munich Agreement in 1938, Mühlbach was occupied by troops of the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the district of Eger in the Reichsgau Sudetenland . The school and four residential buildings were badly damaged in fighting in the last days of the Second World War. The Wehrmacht blew up the Eger Bridge and interrupted the connection to Pirk and Zettendorf. After the war ended, the community came back to Czechoslovakia. In 1946 Mühlbach consisted of 99 houses. On July 10, 1946, 423 Germans and 53 Czechs lived in the village. The municipality was renamed on August 1, 1947 in Pomezí nad Ohří . After the Germans were expelled from Czechoslovakia , 256 Czechs and Slovaks lived in Pomezí. 1950 Pomezná was incorporated. The erection of the Iron Curtain from 1948 to 1990 hampered Pomezí's development. The place was in the cordoned off border zone, the fields were within the wire fences and the forests were partially closed and secured by ground mines. The districts of Pomezná , Rybáře , Hradčany and Horní Pelhřimov were completely demolished.

The Eger was dammed in the years 1962 to 1965 . The Skalka dam was initially used to supply Cheb with drinking water and energy . After the completion of the Horka dam , the reservoir was opened for recreational purposes. In 1965 the previous districts of Bříza and Cetnov, cut off by the dam, were incorporated into the town of Cheb and Pomezná and Rybáře in the municipality of Libá . In 1973 the relocation of State Road 6 began because of the increased truck transit traffic across the Schirnding border crossing . In 1976, Pomezí lost its independence and became a district of Cheb . The community has existed again since 1990. It belongs to the Chebsko microregion . In 2008 the railway station in Pomezí nad Ohří , which had been closed since 1945, was put back into operation; it was added to the timetable from June 15, 2008 as a demand stop for trains between Marktredwitz and Cheb .
