Settlement development in selected area in the border region
MATYŠ, Ondřej
Hardly anybody would search for a village Pohoří na Šumavě in the Gratzen Mountains. This place is a memorial of an eventful fate of many villages in Czech-Austrian or Czech-German borderlands. A development, which was practically identical for many villages in the re-gion, is represented through example of the defunct village. Once an impassably afforested area, only sporadically settled by only a few glassmakers or woodmen until 18th century, experienced its greatest prosperity in a period when it was a property of a noble family Bucquoy. The Bucquoys were interested in the economic use of the area, they founded some settlements, from which over time became vil-lages with thousands of inhabitants. The common peaceful life of the inhabitants of the Czech and German na-tionality was disrupted by events of the 20th century. The relations were disrupted first by the formation of the state border after the First World War, subsequently by the Second World War and the post-war order. The emergence of the Iron Curtain and the frontier zones in the 1950s was already only a final factor which drove the last inhabitants out. The defunct village was reopened only in the 1990s, since then several enthusi-asts, together with Bucherser Heimat Verein association, have been trying, to a certain extent, to run in.
