The story

The first written mention of Svatava is in a document of King Wenceslaus IV from 1391. Until 1789, it was an insignificant agricultural village. From 1789, lignite mining began to develop. In 1903, Svatava was promoted to a market town.

During World War II, Svatava was occupied by Germany. In 1943, the occupiers established a slave labour camp, which in September 1944 became a subcamp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp. 1,350 women of various nationalities were imprisoned there. In April 1945, over 1,000 women reached the subcamp following death marches from other subcamps. The surviving prisoners were liberated by American troops on 7 May 1945.

The lignite mining ceased in 2000 and the Medard mine was reclaimed to the lake.
