history

Nothing is known about the origin of Hohenofen. At the end of the 18th century, a blast furnace with accommodation for ironworkers is said to have been located on the site of today's village on the Schimberg land register. At the beginning of the 19th century a settlement emerged which, separated by the Kunnersdorfer Bach, belonged partly to the corridors of Neundorf and Schimberg and was subject to the Seeberg-Neundorf rule. A blast furnace no longer existed at the time.

After the abolition of patrimonial Hohenofen formed parts of the communities Schimberg / Schimberk and Neundorf / Novosedly in the Komotau district from 1850 onwards . In 1864 Josef Pietschmann founded a match factory in Hohenofen, which existed until 1884. During this time, a textile factory was built in the former mill, and the Zenker wood goods factory was later operated in the building. In 1868 both parts of Hohenofen were combined and assigned to the community of Neundorf. On June 10, 1924 the political community Hohenofen / Vysoká Pec was established. It had 705 inhabitants, of which 640 were Germans, 38 Czechs and 27 foreigners. After the Munich Agreement , the community was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Komotau district until 1945 . In 1939 Hohenofen had 686 inhabitants. On May 7, 1945, Soviet troops occupied the mill in Schimberg. On May 8, 1945, on the way to Türmaul , there was a battle between Soviet tanks and the Wehrmacht, in which three people died on both sides. After the Second World War, the place came back to Czechoslovakia and 550 of the German residents were expelled . Some German anti-fascists, mixed-language families and specialists were able to stay in the place. The resettlement took place with Slovaks and Czech re-emigrants from France. In 1947 the municipality of Vysoká Pec had 485 inhabitants. In 1960 Drmaly and Podhůří were incorporated. The municipality of Vysoká Pec was named a model village in 1960. In 1963 the Podkrušnohorský přivaděč was created as part of the service water pipeline from the Eger to the Dřínov reservoir . Since the 1970s, the area around the village has changed due to lignite mining. The state road I / 13 leading through Kundratice and Dřínov was relocated in autumn 1971. The Kundratice municipality was dissolved on July 1, 1974 and its corridors were connected to Vysoká Pec. Between 1973 and 1976, 44 single-family houses were built in Vysoká Pec for the residents of the evacuated villages. In 1976 Pyšná, which had previously belonged to Boleboř , was reassigned to Vysoká Pec. The village of Podhůří, at the foot of the Ore Mountains, had to be evacuated in 1979 due to landslides. Individual houses from Podhůří were preserved and connected to Vysoká Pec. On September 1, 1990, the Podhůří district was declared extinct.
