Ruins of Böhmisch-Fischern Village

The community of Fischern had a turbulent fate. It is an old village that was already mentioned at the beginning of the 14th century. It was divided into the Czech and German parts after the formation of the final border between Austria-Hungary and Bavaria in the mid-19th century. The Czech part of the village consisted of only 7 homesteads, including an inn and a mill with a hydroelectric power plant. A bridge crossed the border river Eger. The inhabitants of both parts of the community were exclusively German. In 1945 all residents of Bohemian Fishermen left their homes and fled across the bridge to Bavaria. Shortly thereafter, the bridge was demolished. The abandoned Bohemian part stood until 1950. In 1951 all the remaining buildings were blown up. The foundation walls of the houses can still be seen today.

Fischern used to be a village that lay on both sides of the Eger and the two districts were connected by a bridge. When the Eger became the border between the Kingdoms of Bavaria and Austria - Hungary in the 19th century, the village was divided into Bavarian Fischern and Bohemian Fischern.
After the Second World War, the eastern side became a restricted border area, the Czech part of the village was demolished and the bridge was destroyed. Today you can only see the foundations.
Recently, information boards have been put up that refer to the past. The acidulous well has also been redesigned and you can enjoy the water from the ferruginous acidulous water again.

On the way here you can still find numerous remains of walls in the forest. In addition to the generally very eventful history, the village suffered the typical fate of border-side development after the Second World War. The German population was expelled and the villages razed to the ground.
