history

Silberbach was first mentioned in a document in the Graslitzer Bergbuch in 1601, when Balthasar Haidt was awarded two treasure troves. The Silberbachtal was probably settled much earlier, because the old trade connection from Erfurt to Prague ran below the valley along the Zwodau through Graslitz . The village belonged to the Graslitz rule, with which the Schönburgers had been enfeoffed since 1575 .

Around 1601, Wolf Heinrich Geissler ran a smelter in the Silberbachtal that processed the ore extracted from the pits on the Eibenberg . The water of the stream was used for tin soaps and the wood of the forests was used to fire the smelting furnaces. In addition to miners , woodcutters and charcoal burners also lived here in the beginning .

In 1666 Johann Hartwig von Nostitz-Rieneck bought the rule. At that time the village consisted of 25 houses and had about 250 inhabitants. Franz Anton von Nostitz-Rieneck sold the Silberbacher Hütte in 1771 to the Plattner blue paint factory owner Johann Moorbach, who had cobalt blue produced here . In 1786, copper was also processed into wires and brass in Silberbach . In 1793 Johann David Starck built a vitriol factory .

After his marriage to Anna Periez de Burdett, Friedrich Johann Chrysogon von Nostitz-Rieneck had a hunting lodge and forester's lodge built for his wife in the valley of the Rájecký creek . Anna Periez named the valley Nancy .

After the abolition of patrimonial , Silberbach formed from 1850 a district of the community Grünberg ( Zelená Hora ) in the Graslitz district. At that time, 2050 people lived in Silberbach. Silberbach achieved its independence in the 1880s. The most important source of income for the residents in the 19th century was embroidery and lace making as well as the manufacture of mother- of- pearl goods .

Nancy grew into a rather independent town in the 19th century. In the elongated part of the village there was a glassworks , a cutting mill, a spinning mill, a school, the inn “To the end of the world”, other taverns and the Adolf Dörfler soda factory. Even today ( as of 2014 ) you can still find a tree at the former location of the “To the End of the World” inn, in the trunk of which a sheet of metal with a reference to the former hostel has grown. The writer and local researcher Paul Apitzsch also stayed there. The Silberbach district of Nancy itself was almost completely demolished after the Second World War and is now a desert .

In 1895 a separate cemetery was established in Silberbach. The church was consecrated in 1909. Silberbach had a total of four schools. With 4414 inhabitants in 1910, Silberbach was the largest municipality in the Karlovy Vary district. The municipality included the 18 districts of Farbmühle, Neuhof, Hof, Bau, Karrengrund, Bleizeche, Baumatzengrund, Annagasse, Hansenhäuser, Grund, Glashütte, Tobisenberg, Matzenwinkel, Peterwinkel, Pumawinkel, Berg, Hofwiese and Leopoldgasse. Between 1901 and 1910 Franz Anger built a large textile factory. Anger got involved in the construction of the church and founded the church building association in 1901. After the Munich Agreement in 1938, Silberbach was added to the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the Graslitz district . In 1939 Silberbach had 3872 inhabitants. After the end of the Second World War Silberbach came back to Czechoslovakia; the German residents were expelled. In 1948 Silberbach only had 1044 inhabitants. In the same year the village was renamed Stříbrná . In 1953 Nová Ves was incorporated. In the course of the territorial reform of 1960, the Okres Kraslice was dissolved; Stříbrná came to Okres Sokolov on January 1, 1961 . In 1976 622 people lived in the community. In 1978 the last school in town was closed.
