Mílov , previously also Rozhraní (German Halbmeil ), was a district of Ryžovna (Seifen) in Okres Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic , which is now incorporated into Boží Dar (Gottesgab).

Geographical location

Mílov was right on the border with the Free State of Saxony at an altitude of 900 m. The border line separated the place from the Saxon half mile , today a district of Breitenbrunn / Erzgebirge .

history

By assignment of the southern part of the Barony of Schwarzenberg by Duke Maurice of Saxony after 1546 the area came to the Kingdom of Bohemia , but the actual frontier was still not fixed. In 1548, a mine on the Mückenberg is mentioned for the first time in the mining regulations of King Ferdinand of Bohemia. The mining was quite productive, so that there was a dispute between the rulers about this area. A straight connecting line between the sources of the Mückenbach and the Großer Ortbach was established as the new border. This cut the mining settlement on the Mückenberg into a Bohemian and a Saxon part.

In 1582 the name “uf der halben Meil” is found for the first time , because the place was about half a Saxon mile (approx. 4.5 km) from Platten and the 1st Prague treaty stipulated the demarcation of boundaries: and the Rein and Granitz von the Schonberg fiefs on behind the Platna a half-mile way and therefore straight and straight through to the end of the rule .

In 1847 the village had 7 houses with 55 inhabitants, 1 vitriol mine and 2 chemical factories, which employed a total of 8 workers. Until the abolition of patrimonial rule in 1848/49, Halbmeil lay in the kk Montanwalddominium Joachimsthal , which was under the administration of the kk Bergoberamt Joachimsthal. Half mile was parish to the parish church of St. Anna in Gottesgab. Around 1830, Christoph Glaser had a chapel built that was dedicated to St. John of Nepomuk . In 1890 there were 8 houses with 66 inhabitants in Halbmeil. There was a one-class school, a forester's house, and Anton Günther's inn.

After the First World War , Halbmeil was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 . Due to the Munich Agreement , the place belonged from 1938 to 1945 to the district of Sankt Joachimsthal , administrative district of Eger , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland of the German Empire . The German population was expropriated and expelled after the Second World War. All buildings were completely demolished by 1953.

tourism

A hiking border crossing at the Himmelswiese enables hikers, cyclists and skiers to cross the border. A popular destination is the “Roter Fuchs” (U Červené lišky) restaurant in Streitseifen , a district of Potůčky . The Erzgebirgszweigverein Breitenbrunn put up historical explanatory boards in 2004.
