history

The uninhabited mountains along the old Zwiesler Weg, which led through the Stubenbach valley to Bohemia, were part of the royal Waldhwozd until the 18th century . In 1725 Karl Richard Ritter von Schmidel bought the Künischen free courts of Stachau and Stadln ( Stodůlky ) from the Counts Kolowrat . Schmidel, who had bought property all over Bohemia with borrowed money at this time, was insolvent a year later. In 1726 he sold lots on the Křemelná to settlers who founded the place Großhaid ( Velký Bor ). A little later, other settlements emerged, including Rehberg , Waid ( Paště ) and Hohenstegen ( Vysoké Lávky ). In 1731 Eleonora von Mansfeld acquired the Stachau and Stadln courts at auction of Schmidel's property for only 19,500 guilders. She had numerous other settlements built. As a result, the tasks of the court in Stadln grew considerably. Heinrich Paul von Mansfeld, who had come into power in the meantime, had a second court set up in Stadln for the new settlements, which was called Neustadln. In 1749 Heinrich Paul von Mansfeld sold the Künischen dishes Stachau, Altstadln and Neustadln to the glassworks master Laurenz Gattermayer. He had two mirror glass works built in the uninhabited forest area in the Finsteren Stube am Stubenbach. The Gattermayerhütte glassmaking settlement was built around it. The new settlement with the surrounding forests was separated from the Waldhwozd and formed an independent allodial property with its own jurisdiction, which was called Stubenbach from 1750. The Künischen courts of Stachau, Altstadln and Neustadln were merged with the Stubenbach estate in an association that is subject to protection. A manorial brewery was operated in Gattermayerhütte since 1754. In 1756 a chapel was built. After Gattermayer's death, Count Josef Kinsky bought Stubenbach as a Kridargut in 1763 and also gave the Gattermayerhütte settlement the name Stubenbach . His nephew Philipp Josef Graf Kinsky expanded the Stubenbach estate in 1788 to include the small Gutwasser estate . In 1798 he sold the Stubenbach and Gutwasser estates for 400,000 guilders to Joseph II zu Schwarzenberg ; Philipp Josef Graf Kinsky kept the mirror hut with the two mirror grinding shops to himself. Two years later, Joseph II zu Schwarzenberg acquired the Langendorf estate and combined all three estates to form the allodial rule of Stubenbach and Langendorf. In 1803 the St. Prokop Church was consecrated in Stubenbach. In 1819 the JK Eggert paper factory was established, producing handmade paper for exclusive purposes. In addition, the place was the seat of a Schwarzenberg forestry office. In 1824 the Counts Kinsky had the Spiegelhütte in Stubenbach shut down. In 1833 Johann Adolf II. Zu Schwarzenberg inherited the allodial rule of Stubenbach and Langendorf.

In 1838 the Stubenbach estate, including the Gutwasser estate, the royal Waldhwozdes II. Part and the royal Stachau and Stadlner courts, comprised a usable area of ​​38,698 yoke 1181 square fathoms . Of these, 26,934 Joch 1383 square fathoms were accounted for by forests, which were divided into the Stubenbacher, Neubrunner, Schützenwalder, Philippshütter, Moderer and Bürstlinger forest districts. The wood was sold via the princely floodplain, for which almost all the streams were used and for whose operation the Chinitz-Tettau alluvial canal was created. For Good Stubenbach included the villages Stubenbach, Obersteindlberg ( Horní Žďánidla ) Untersteindlberg ( Dolní Žďánidla ) Gsänget ( Pomezí ) Neubrunn ( Nová Studnice ), green mountain lodge or cabins ( Zelenohorská Huť ), green Berghof ( Zelenohorský Dvorec ) Zeckerberg or Seckerberg ( Horky u Srní ), Schötzenreiter or Schützenreuter ( Schätzova Mýť ), Schützenwald ( Schätzův Les ), Chinitz ( Vchynice ), Tettau ( Tetov ), Moder , Fischerhütten , Bürstling , Philippshütten , Preisleiten and Gutwasser ( Dobrá Voda ) as well as the Stubenbacher share from Seeberg ( Jezerní ). With the exception of the Dominikaldörfer Chinitz, Tettau and Gsänget, all the localities belonged to the Stubenbach court. 1516 German-speaking people lived in the area of ​​the Stubenbach estate, whose main sources of income were logging, rafting, spinning and weaving. The official village of the allodial rule was Langendorf.

The place Stubenbach at that time consisted of 168 houses with 1134 inhabitants; this also includes all of the villages belonging to the Stubenbach court. The local church of St. Prokop and the school were under stately patronage. Stubenbach was the seat of a princely forest office. There was also a manorial brewery in the village, a brandy house, two paper mills, a grinding mill, a board saw, two taverns and an Imperial and Royal Customs Office on the road to Zwiesel . Stubenbach was the parish for Obersteindlberg, Untersteindlberg, Gsänget, Hinterhäuser ( Zadní Chalupy ), Hohenstegen ( Vysoké Jávky ), Formberg, Gruberg ( Hrubá ), Sonneberg ( Slunečná ), Seeberg, Mühlspreng and Großheid ( Velký Bor ) and part of Neubrunn ( Velký Bor ) Maderhäuser ( Modrava 1.díl ). Until the middle of the 19th century, Stubenbach remained subject to the allodial rule of Stubenbach and Langendorf.

After the lifting of patrimonial formed Stubenbach or Stadlern II. Share / Prášil t. Štadlovských podílů část II from 1850 with the districts Untersteindlberg, Obersteindlberg, Gsenget, Mader , Neubrunn, Seckerberg, Grünbergerhof, Grünbergerhütten, Josefstadt , Formberg, Philippshütten, Preisleiten, Pürstling and Rachelhütte a municipality in the judicial district Bergreichenstein. From 1868 Stubenbach / Prášil belonged to the Schüttenhofen district , in 1873 the community was assigned to the newly formed Hartmanitz judicial district . The wind breaks of 1868 and 1870 destroyed a large part of the old trees in the Bohemian Forest. After the First World War, Stubenbach developed into one of the most important winter sports areas in the Bohemian Forest. In 1924 the Czech place name was changed to Prášily . In the same year Philippshütten, Preisleiten, Pürstling, Mader and Rachelhütte broke away from Stubenbach and formed their own community, which was initially called Preisleiten. The glass factories stopped production in 1924. In 1933 the paper mill that had supplied the office of the Czechoslovak President, among other things, burned down. Tourist accommodation was built in the Schwarzenberg brewery in 1928. In the community of Stubenberg, including the districts of Gsenget, Neubrunn, Seckerberg and Unter Steindlberg, there were 1018 people in 1930 who were mostly Germans. In 1938 the place consisted of 161 houses and had 1022 inhabitants. After the Munich Agreement , the community was added to the German Reich and belonged to the Bergreichenstein district between 1939 and 1945 . In 1946 most of the German-speaking residents of Stubenbach were expelled . Their property would be confiscated by Beneš Decree No. 108 . The place could only be repopulated to a small extent. In 1948, wire barges were built in the woods along the border with Bavaria in order to prevent the increasing movement of refugees across the green border after the Communists came to power. The sparsely populated area was declared a restricted military area in 1950 and relocated. In the same year the community Prášily was abolished and the military training area Dobrá Voda was built, whose seat was Prášily. Around Prášily lanes for armored personnel carriers and tank firing ranges were built. The surrounding villages became artillery targets and in this way razed to the ground. In Prášily, the buildings that were not used for military purposes were demolished. On January 4, 1979, St. Prokop's Church was blown up.

After the Dobrá Voda military training area was closed in 1991, the municipality of Prášily was rebuilt on January 1, 1992. After the withdrawal of the army there were only 25 houses in the village and there was neither a school nor a church. Since then, the creation of an infrastructure in Prášily to regain its former reputation as an important tourist and winter sports center has started again. The shooting ranges that were built on the site of the former Jezerní and Stodůlky are closed because of the ammunition that is still stored there and have been forested since then.

In 1997 the Gsenget border crossing opened and the restoration of the Czech Tourist Club's building was completed. A year later, the observation tower on Poledník opened. During the months of July to September, the border hiking trail between the Frantův most, the Poledník and the Javoří pila , which leads through the capercaillie reserve of the national park, is accessible .

In November 2017, discussions were held about expanding the old German cemetery with a Czech part and thus helping to promote reconciliation between Germans and Czechs.
