history
The village was built between 1160 and 1217 on the Royal Road leading from the national gate near Dolní Žandov . The founders of the Rundling, which originally consisted of eight estates, were Slavs from the Lutschanen tribe (?).
The first mention of the Teplá belonging village Vulcouici took place in 1273. Originally to Habakladrau gepfarrte village belonged since the 13th century the parish Pístov. During the Hussite Wars , radical Hussite preachers who preached in Pístov also gained influence on the population of Vlkovice.
In the course of the 15th century the population structure had also changed, the majority of the inhabitants of Wilkowitz were Germans.
In 1530 the Wilkowitz Monastery sold together with most of its villages to the Pflugk von Rabenstein. As a result, the monastery lost its influence on the population and the place became Protestant. In 1549 the monastery got its old property back and began to recatholicize .
In 1680 peasant unrest broke out against the growing obligations towards the authorities. During this time the Tepler highlands were also hit by a great plague epidemic.
At the beginning of the 18th century, the monastery and its villages recovered from the years of decline. In 1784 Wilkowitz was after Pistau ( Pístov ) the second largest village under the monastery rule.
In 1818 the Abbot of Tepler Karl Reiterberger founded the place Marienbad . Franz Josef Seidl (1781–1849), born in Wilkowitz, was the first court mayor of Marienbad.
After the replacement of patrimonial Wilkowitz / Vlkovice formed with Stanowitz and Wischezahn from 1850 a municipality in the judicial district of Tepl and in the political district of Tepl . In the 1890s the community was reclassified to the judicial district of Marienbad .
When the railway from Marienbad to Karlsbad started operating , Wilkowitz received a railway connection in 1898. Before that, a 380 m long tunnel had been created under the hill Hůrka in a two-year construction period. It was also planned to build a railway cross at Wilkowitz and the Falkenauer Bahn through the Kaiserwald via Sangerberg and Lauterbach to Falkenau , the construction of which was delayed and was finally discarded after the outbreak of the First World War.
In 1931, the Marienbader Zoo opened on the Klinger ( Výhledy ) in Wilkowitzer Flur . After a fire in 1951, the zoological garden was closed.
In 1930 233 people lived in Wilkowitz, in 1939 there were 227.
After the Munich Agreement in 1938, the village was incorporated into the German Reich and until 1945 belonged to the Marienbad district .
On April 20, 1945, a death march of around 800 concentration camp prisoners from Saxony to the Flossenbürg concentration camp led through Wilkowitz. Approx. 8 prisoners died in Wilkowitz, their bodies were found in May 1945.
After the Second World War, Vlkovice came back to Czechoslovakia; the German residents were expelled. The repopulation of the village was problematic, until 1946 only about 100 Czech settlers came to Vlkovice.
Since 1961 Vlkovice has belonged to Okres Cheb . In 1961 Martinov was incorporated. In 1976 Vlkovice lost its independence and became part of Marienbad . The community has existed again since 1990.
