history

Strážov was first mentioned in a document in 1352. At that time, the single shift belonged to the Opálka fortress . After a silver find in the middle of the 15th century, the place grew rapidly and was granted city rights by Ludwig II in 1524 , including high jurisdiction , market rights , coat of arms law and the right to self-government.

After the silver deposits were exhausted and the mines closed and the smelters closed, a decline set in in the 16th century that affected all life in the city. The Thirty Years War brought further suffering when the Swedes invaded in 1641 and burned the town down. In the 18th century the lace making was established in Strážov . Until the middle of the 19th century, Drosau remained subordinate to the Opalka estate.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed STRÁŽOV / Drosau from 1850, a township in the judicial district Klatovy. From 1868 the city belonged to the Klattau district . The Czech place name Strážov has been used since 1880. In 1896 a lace school was founded in the village, which was closed in 1953. In 1954, Strážov together with Rejštejn and Nalžovské Hory lost the town charter. In 1961 Krotějov (with Hájek, Patraska and Splž), Lukavice (with Kněžice), Opálka (with České Hamry), Rovná (with Lehom and Malá Rovná) and Zahorčice were incorporated. At the beginning of 1976 Viteň was incorporated (with Božtěšice, Brtí, Horní Němčice, Javoříčko and Mladotice). The application for city status after the Velvet Revolution dragged on for a long time and finally became obsolete due to the amendment of the legal basis, as Strážov did not have the minimum number of 3000 inhabitants required at that time. Since January 23, 2007 Strážov is a town again.
