geography

Stoupa was located below the road to Česká Ves (Bohemian village ) on a small stream that flows into the Celní potok ( Zottbach ) not far from there .

history

Stoupa was created in connection with the manufacture of glass. A stamping mill for crushing quartz for the glassworks in Stará Knížecí Huť was built there probably around 1710 and Doninikal houses were added in the second half of the 18th century. The village is entered on the map of the Josephinian land survey from the years 1764–1768. It is always listed with Česká Ves (Bohemian village) in the residents' lists.

The families lived mainly by chopping wood. Some of the men were stonemasons, others worked as unskilled workers in the Flossenbürg granite works . Until 1938 there was a convenience store on site and until recently an inn.

The hamlet Josefovo Údolí (Josefsthal) with 14 residents in two houses was below the village and was having Stoupa (Altpocher) konskribiert . At the census in 1930 173 inhabitants lived in 29 houses in the village. The German population was expelled after the end of the Second World War .

The cause of the downfall was the location at the Iron Curtain . The houses were destroyed between 1945 and 1950; The village officially disappeared in 1952 on the basis of an ordinance of the Interior Ministry of Czechoslovakia dated July 30, 1948. This concerned border crossings, all paths near the border and the liquidation of buildings in a strip about two kilometers wide along the state border.
