history
The village of Elphusen was first mentioned in writing in 1290, when the German King Rudolf I enfeoffed the state judge Otto von Machwitz with the Sorg estate . A fortress was later built in Sorg, which was acquired by the Knights of Neipperg in the 14th century and attached to Neuberg Castle . In 1394, after the death of Konrad von Neuberg, ownership of this line of the Neippergers, who last called themselves "von Neuberg", passed to the Lords of Zedtwitz as heir . In the course of time the village was called Uphusen , Aufhawsen , Ailffhausen and Eilfhausen . At the beginning of the 17th century, the street village of Steinpöhl was created west of Eilfhausen . After the death of Hans Georg von Zedtwitz in 1690 an inheritance was divided among his three sons, with the care part going to Karl Joseph von Zedtwitz. Although the shares were given their own jurisdiction, they were still jointly administered as Herrschaft Neuberg, later as Herrschaft Asch . The largest village of the Sorger share was Eilfhausen ; in addition, the stone rubble settlement belonged to the share. When house numbering was introduced in 1771, Elfhausen, Steinpöhl and Steingeröll consisted of a total of 21 properties, which were listed as house numbers 97–117 in the Neuberg community . In 1845 Eilfhäuser or Eilfhausen was listed with "some houses" as an accessory to the Neuberg community . Parish was Asch or Niklasberg; In Neuberg there was a Protestant branch church "Zum Guten Hirten" . Until the middle of the 19th century Elfhausen was subject to the Asch lordship.
After the abolition of patrimonial Elfhausen formed a part of the community Neuberg in the judicial district of Asch from 1849 . In 1866 a school with two classes was opened in Steinpöhl, which the Elfhausen children also attended. From 1868 Elfhausen became part of the newly formed Asch district . In 1885, traffic on the Asch-Roßbach local railway began, and the Neuberg stop was built at the foot of the Finkenberg between Steinpöhl and Elfhausen. In the 1918 census, a total of 708 inhabitants were counted in Steinpöhl and Elfhausen . After the district road from Asch to Roßbach between Sorg and Elfhausen, which previously ran east of Elfhausen through the valley of the Elfhausener Bach, was relocated to the west in order to bypass the valleys of the Sorgbach and Elfhausen brook, the house became the former carpenter's shop Lederer converted into the "New Inn". Another inn existed with the inn "Zum Finkenberg" at the Neuberg stop, which was demolished in the 1960s. After the Munich Agreement , Elfhausen was added to the German district of Asch in 1938. At that time most of the residents worked in the Ascher factories; the poorly productive agriculture only played a subordinate role. The cemetery was in Steinpöhl. After the end of World War II, Elfhausen came back to Czechoslovakia. The German population was expelled in 1946 . In 1948 Elfhausen and Sorg were merged under the name Smrčina ; the evacuated villages became part of the Kopaniny municipality together with Neuberk . In the 1960s, Smrčina almost completely died out. Since 1961 Smrčina belongs to the Okres Cheb . Between 1976 and 1990 Smrčina belonged to the town of Aš, since then the settlement has been part of the Podhradí municipality again. One of the few preserved houses is the former "New Inn", which is now used as a residential building. In the place of the former village there is a wood. Individual houses to the west of the state road, which forms the municipal boundary to Krásná and belong to the district of Kamenná, have also been preserved.
Culture and sights
- Crossroads, on the district road
- Former Smrčina Castle ( Sorg Castle ); the building erected in 1690 for Karl Joseph von Zedtwitz was owned by the family until 1911 and then had to be sold to the Ascher entrepreneur Wilhelm Fischer due to over-indebtedness. After 1945 the castle deteriorated, in 1963 it was demolished due to the risk of collapse. Only the dilapidated farm buildings have been preserved; today there is a silage pit on the site of the castle.
