history

In 1169, the Order of St. John received approval to colonize the forest areas on Mount Chwogen . The village was probably laid out in the second half of the 12th century under German law on the site of a previous Slavic settlement. The other two villages on Chwogen and Chwoyen are likely to have emerged at the same time . The place was first mentioned in writing in 1352 as a parish village subject to Krupka . In 1389 the village was called Koyn , over the years the name Kahn and later Bohemian Kahn emerged from this . In 1580 Rudolf II sold the knight's seat and manor house to the Geisingen mining entrepreneur Adam Kölbel. His son Rudolf Kölbel, who had inherited the property in 1591, had a fortress built in Kahn and bought the village of Klein Kahn. He combined the property into an independent estate, which he passed on to Wenzel the Elder. Ä. Kölbel sold. After the battle of the White Mountain , the Kölbel von Geysing lost their property. In 1623, the imperial lieutenant Francois de Couriers bought the Kahn fortress with the associated villages on Schönwald . Presumably the festival went out during the Thirty Years' War. In the berní rula of 1654, 26 farms are identified for the Bohemian Kahn. After the de Couriers, Count Wratislaw von Mitrowitz succeeded as owners of Schönwald, and in 1717 they founded a school in Böhmisch Kahn. Böhmisch Kahn remained part of Schönwald until the middle of the 19th century. In 1832 a parish was set up again in Böhmisch Kahn, the patronage was taken over by the landlord Otto Graf von Westphalen . On August 31, 1842, a major fire destroyed 34 of the 37 houses in the village. In the following year the village was rebuilt, the parish and school followed in 1844. In 1847 a new cemetery was built.

After the abolition of patrimonial Bohemian Kahn / České Chvojno formed from 1850 a political municipality in the judicial district of Karbitz or in the district of Außenig . In 1921 the village consisted of 54 houses and had 265 inhabitants, most of whom were Germans. In 1930 there were 292 people in the community. After the Munich Agreement , Böhmisch Kahn was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Aussig district until 1945 . In 1939 the community had 265 inhabitants. In 1945 České Chvojno returned to Czechoslovakia and the German residents were expelled . In 1948 the community was assigned to the Okres Ústí nad Labem-okolí and was given the new name Velké Chvojno . Since 1961, Velké Chvojno has been part of Okres Ústí nad Labem again , while Malé Chvojno was added as a district. In 1976 Žďár was incorporated. Between 1980 and 1997, Velké Chvojno and its districts were incorporated into Libouchec . Since the beginning of 1998 the municipality of Velké Chvojno exists again and Arnultovice, Luční Chvojno and Mnichov were added as new districts.
