Story

Construction of the city and castle began in the first half of the 13th century, near the ford across the Vltava, through which an important trade route in Bohemia ran. The city is located on both banks of the Vltava, which forms a sharp bend in this place. The first documentary mention of Krumlov Castle dates back to 1240. Initially, the city was owned by the feudal Vitkovic family from Krumlov, and then by the related Vitkovic family from Rozmberk (Rosenbergs). The Rosenbergs (in Czech – Rožmberkové, Rozmberki) owned Krumlov from 1302 for about 300 years. The red rose from the family coat of arms of this family is still part of the city coat of arms of Cesky Krumlov.

After the suppression of the Rozmberk (Rosenberg) family, the city was owned by the emperors Rudolf II (Rudolf’s mad son Julius Caesar of Austria lived in Krumlov), Ferdinand II, the Eggenberg family and, finally, the Schwarzenberg family, which owned the castle until 1945.

Already in the middle of the 13th century, there was a settlement on the right bank of the Vltava, whose inhabitants were immigrants from Bavaria and Austria. On the left bank of the Vltava, a settlement called Latrán also arose somewhat later (currently the Latrán district is part of the historical center of the city, protected as a world cultural heritage site). Both settlements were connected by a bridge in 1347 and formed a city. In 1336, a city council was formed in Krumlov, at which time crafts and trade developed in the city, the city’s fortifications were strengthened by the construction of a new city wall.

In the 20s of the 15th century, as a result of the reform of city government, a purkmister was placed at the head of the city, heading the city council (rada). The post of mayor was held by one of the members of the city council for a month in order of rotation. The position of city mayor was also introduced, performing police and judicial functions. In addition, a small city council was established, whose members were called city elders. As a rule, only wealthy citizens were elected to city government bodies. In 1494, Krumlov received the status and privileges of a royal city. Silver mining in the surrounding mines gave a new impetus to the development of the city’s economy and trade. At the end of the 15th century, Krumlov Castle, originally built in the Gothic style, was rebuilt by Italian architects Antonio Ericera and Balthasar Maggi into a representative castle of the Renaissance.

The last owner of the castle from the Rozmberk family was forced to sell it in 1602 due to accumulated debts to Emperor Rudolf II.

During the Thirty Years’ War the city was sacked several times. At the end of the war, many secular and religious buildings were rebuilt in the Baroque style.

The city became part of the Austrian Empire in 1806 and Austria-Hungary in 1866. In 1910, the city had a population of 8,662, including 7,367 Germans and 1,265 Czechs.
