Všeruby (Domažlice District)
Summary
Všeruby (Neumark) is a market town in the Domažlice District in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 800 inhabitants.
Villages of Brůdek, Chalupy, Hájek, Hyršov, Kosteliště, Maxov, Pláně, Pomezí and Studánky are administrative parts of Všeruby.
Všeruby is located about south of Domažlice and southwest of Plzeň, on the border with Germany. It lies in the Cham-Furth Depression. The highest point is at above sea level. The Chamb River flows through the eastern part of the municipal territory and then forms a part of the Czech-German border. The Hájecký Brook (a tributary of the Chamb) originates here and supplies Všerubský Pond, which is a large pond in the centre of Všeruby.
The first written mention of Všeruby is from 1570, when it was promoted to a market town. It was then a part of the Rýzmberk estate, owned by Lords of Gutštejn. The owners of Všeruby often changed and included various less prominent noble families. From 1697 until the establishment of a sovereign municipality in 1848, Všeruby was property of the Stadion family.
At the end of World War II, on 4 May 1945, the German 11th Panzer Division under command of General Wend von Wietersheim surrendered to the US 90th Infantry Division at Všeruby.
The main landmark of Všeruby is the Church of Saint Michael the Archangel. It was built in the Renaissance style in 1628–1650. A chapel was added to the church in the 18th century. The present appearance of the church is a result of the reconstruction in the second half of the 19th century, after it was damaged by a fire.
The Church of Saint Anne is located in Hájek. It was built in the Baroque style in 1712–1717 on the site of an old wooden chapel. It is a pilgrimage site.
