In 1812 the Abbot of Teplá Monastery K. K. Reitenberger de- clared Marienbad a town in its own right. On the 6.11. 1818 Marienbad became a public spa by government decree issued by High Burgrave F. A. Libštejnský. And so began the wonderful story of this new spa town… 4 HISTORY: A young town with a rich history 1820 – 1870 - itenberger, the landscape gardener Václav Skalník, Supported financially by Abbot Karel Kašpar Re transformed an inhospitable, marshy valley into aarchitect beautiful Jiří spa Fischer town andsporting builder neo-Classical Anton Turner and Empire facades, gazebos, pavilions and colonnades. Skalník’s urban design has mostly survived intact to this day. Many important personalities of the day from the worlds of culture, science and politics paid the town a visit. These included Goethe, Chopin, Wagner, Bruckner and Prince Friedrich of Saxony to name just a few. On 29. 5. 1865 Emperor Franz Joseph I granted Ma- rienbadGOLDEN ERAofficial town status. Marienbad’s heyday came between 1870 and 1914 and this can still be seen in the numerous neo-Clas- sical and Art Nouveau spa buildings, hotels, colon- nades and churches, many the work of architects such as Zickler, Schaffer, Heymann and Forberich. The spa parks were expanded and idyllic viewing points created in the surrounding hills. In 1872 the town was linked by railway to Cheb, Vienna and Prague (via Pilsen) and in 1898 with Carlsbad. It was at this time that the number of illustrious guests reached its peak. These included Mahler, Nietzsche, - ward VII of England and Emperor Franz Joseph I.

Tens of min- eral-rich springs bubble to the surface in a relative- ly small area within the town’s borders. However, their chemical composition differs considerably, an interesting geological phenomenon. This means that Marienbad can offer a range of treatments for a wide variety of conditions –kidney and urinary disease, respiratory complaints, musculoskeletal problems, metabolic disorders, digestive system complaints and nerve and skin conditions. The wa- ter temperature ranges from 7° to 10° C, making these officially ‘cold’ mineral water sources. 6 MARIENBAD’S SPRINGS: Curative power of the springs CROSS (KŘÍŽOVÝ) SPRING This spring water is used to treat digestive system disorders and allergies associated with digestive problems. Possesses a high mineral content and has a laxative effect. FERDINAND SPRING This spring water is suitable for treating diges- tive system ailments and metabolic problems. Has a strong salty taste and a high mineral content. AMBROŽ SPRINGS This water has a low mineral content but does contain high iron levels.

KAROLÍNA SPRING The water from this spring contains high amounts of magnesium and is used to treat urological illnesses and kidney stones. FOREST SPRING Suitable for easing various digestive problems, upper respiratory problems and used to treat cer- tain urological conditions.

  • The Youngest Inactive Volcano Komorní Hůrka
    Points of interest in close surrounding: - the youngest inactive volcano Komorní h ůrka – in 3 km walking distance from Apartment. Despite its history this isn't a particularly prominent landmark, just a low, partly wooded hill between Cheb and Františkové Lázn ě. The striking crater-like formation found there isn't actually a crater but an old quarry. Records suggest its last activity was no more than a small amount of ash being blown out here and there and one small gush of lava, which is not surprising given that the volcano was born in the final closing phase of volcanic activity in the Czech Republic. It also has a sister, practically a twin, in the nearby Železná H ůrka. The name Železná meaning 'iron' probably comes from the fact that both of these small volcanoes were later found to be sites that contained mineral rarities – sheets of pure natural iron. - Chateau and castle Starý Rybník - 5 km, Gothic castle standing between two was built in the mid 14th century. A part of the castle tumbled down in the 18th century. Nonetheless, the entrance building had remained in use up to the early 20th century when it was finally abandoned. Apart from cellarage, a major part of the western wall has been preserved while the eastern wall and the inner curtain are hardly noticeable. Two half-cylindrical towers supported the palace from the south of which only the western section remains standing. Renaissance and Baroque elements along with half-timbered structures have also been preserved.The castle ruins are freely accessible.

There are not only one of our most famous spas Karlovy Vary but also Mariánské Lázně, Františkovy Lázně, Lázně Kynžvart and Jáchymov in the Region. The spa in Kyselka is not currently in operation.

Among the cultural aspects it is mainly the International Film Festival Karlovy Vary that offers the meeting of domestic and foreign creators. The Karlovarský Region is located in the west of the Czech Republic and was formed by the split of the Západočeský Region to form the Karlovarský and Plzeňský Region. In the north and west there is the state border with Germany, in the east its neighbour is the Ústecký Region and in the south the Plzeňský Region. Along with the Ústecký Region it forms the Northwest cohesion area, the so-called NUTS 2. The mountains Krušné hory are stretching along the national borders across these two regions. The highest point is Klínovec (1 244 m above sea level) in the Karlovy Vary District as well as the lowest point of the region (320 m above sea level), which is on the river Ohře on the borders of the region.

  • Nové Osídlení Chebska Po Druhé Světové Válce
    1 Prohlašuji, ţe jsem bakalářskou diplomovou práci vypracoval samostatně a uvedl všechnu pouţitou literaturu a prameny. V Brně dne 29. května 2009 Miroslav Šollar 2 Bibliografický záznam ŠOLLAR, Miroslav. Nové osídlení Chebska po druhé světové válce. Brno: Masarykova univerzita, Filozofická fakulta, Historický ústav, 2009. 76 s. Vedoucí diplomové práce Mgr. Tomáš Dvořák, Ph.D. Anotace Diplomová bakalářská práce „Nové osídlení Chebska po druhé světové válce“ pojednává o osídlování politického okresu Cheb v období let 1945 aţ 1948, kdy proběhla rozsáhlá výměna jeho obyvatel. Asi 65 000 německých starousedlíkŧ bylo během roku 1946 odsunuto do okupačních zón Německa. Tyto osoby nahradili zejména vnitrozemští Češi ze západních a jiţních českých okresŧ. Jejich počet však nebyl dostatečný. Další část slovanských osídlencŧ přišla ze Slovenska. V roce 1947 se na osídlování Chebska podíleli volyňští Češi a rumunští reemigranti. O rok později ţilo v chebském okrese asi 35 000 obyvatel. Annotation Diploma thesis „Nové osídlení Chebska po druhé světové válce“ deals with a settlement of the district of Cheb from 1945 till 1948 when there was realized a large swapping of its inhabitants. In 1946, approximately 65 000 ethnic Germans were transfered to allied-occupied Germany. These persons were above all replaced by inland Czechs from West and South Bohemia. Number of these settlers wasn't sufficient. Another part of Slavonian people were coming from Slovakia. Czech and Slovak re-emigrants from Volhynia and Romania settled down in Cheb region in 1947. In 1948 there were about 35 000 inhabitants in Cheb district. Klíčová slova Chebsko, osídlování, odsun, Němci, vnitrozemští Češi, reemigranti.
