History
In the X century , a fortress appeared here. The first mention dates back to the same century. During the reign of Przemysl Ottokar II, the fortress received the status of a city, fortifications were built to protect the Czech-Bavarian border.
In the 15th century, the Hussite wars swept the Czech Republic. On the side of Hus came the Czech population of Domazlice; Germans were forced to leave the city. In 1431, in the vicinity of Domazlice, Hussite troops defeated the imperial army.
At the beginning of 1547, Domažlice joined the rebellion against the rule of the Habsburgs , under whose authority he came along with the whole Czech Republic. In the Thirty Years War, the city sided with Friedrich of Pfalz and was badly damaged. Domazlice recovered from the consequences of the war only towards the end of the 17th century.
In the XVIII - early XIX centuries , although very slowly, industry began to develop in the city, public buildings appeared. City fortifications were demolished.
In 1939, thanks to the predominance of the Czech population, Domažlice remained in the protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia . In 1945 he was liberated by the American army. During the expulsion of the Germans from Czechoslovakia in the summer of 1945, 200 Germans were killed.
After the fall of the communist regime in 1989, the city began to develop dynamically: the influx of tourists increased. In 1990 - 2000, the buildings of the historic city center were restored.
