Staré Město pod Landštejnem (German old town ) is a minority town in Okres Jindřichův Hradec in the Czech Republic . It is located 24 kilometers southeast of Jindřichův Hradec and belongs to the Jihočeský kraj region . The place was created as a Breitangerdorf .

geography

The place is located south of the Javořická vrchovina on Pstruhovec ( Taxenbach ) in the Česká Canada Nature Park near the Austrian border in South Bohemia. South-east of Staré Město, the tip of the Bohemian Saß , which belongs to Austria, protrudes into Czech territory. At the northern foot of the local Hohe Stein  ( 679  m ) lies the Dreiländerstein ( Trojmezí ), which marks the triangle between Bohemia , Moravia and Austria . The fortification lines of the Czechoslovak Wall run on the mountain slopes north of the village . At the deserted Košťálkov ( Gottschallings ) there is a border crossing for hikers to Klein-Taxen .

Neighboring towns are Stálkov in the northeast, Kadolec in the east, Maříž and Reinolz in the southeast, Klein-Taxen in the south, Veclov and Dobrotín in the southwest, Podlesí in the west and Pomezí and Landštejn in the northwest.

history

Staré Město was founded around 1170 on an old mule track leading from Italy via Raabs and Markl ( Pomezí ) to Bohemia by the Lords of Tierna from the Raabs house . In the 14th century, the place was expanded to the market village of the neighboring Landstein Castle and was called Landstein . In 1495 the town was raised to the status of the Old Town ( Staré Město ) and from 1568 as Old Landstein ( Starý Landštejn ). The first Jews can be traced around 1600 and a little later a Jewish cemetery was built outside the village. Registries have existed since 1668. In 1840, 1036 people lived in the place. Until the abolition of patrimonial rule in 1848, Altstadt was the main town of Landstein's rule. In the second half of the 19th century, the market town lost more and more of its importance. The lack of a connection to the railway network prevented the settlement of industrial companies. In 1880 a volunteer fire brigade was founded in the old town. Until 1918, many old townspeople in Vienna worked as bricklayers, which meant that the local dialect was partly similar to Viennese.

After the First World War and the Peace Treaty of Saint Germain in 1919, the place, of which 90% of the inhabitants belonged to the German language group in 1910, became part of the new Czechoslovak Republic . Settlers and newly filled civil servants have led to an increased influx of people with Czech identity. After the Munich Agreement , the place came to the German Reich in 1938 and became part of the Reichsgau Niederdonau .

After the end of the Second World War - which claimed 15 victims among the local residents - the territories transferred to Germany in the Munich Agreement were reassigned to Czechoslovakia . When the population of German origin began to be mistreated by the Revolutionary Guards, civilian deaths occurred. On May 29, 1945, the old town was occupied by militant Czechs at the same time as the surrounding towns. They took men hostage and then drove the local population and finally the hostages across the border into Austria. 13 people remained in the place. The property of the German residents was confiscated by the Beneš decree 108 , and the Catholic Church was expropriated during the communist era . The local residents in Austria were transferred to Germany with the exception of 13 families, in accordance with the original transfer goals of the Potsdam Protocol. Four people emigrated to Canada, three to the United States and one to Australia.

During the Cold War , Staré Město pod Landštejnem was on the Iron Curtain . In 1952 the official name Staré Město was changed to Staré Město pod Landštejnem to distinguish it from places of the same name . On December 6, 2017, Staré Město pod Landštejnem's status as Městys was renewed.
