Doubrava
Résumé
(, Dombrau) is a municipality and village in Karviná District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,200 inhabitants.
The name comes from the Slavic word dúbrava, which means "oak forest". Between 1920 and 1924, the municipality was named Dombrová.
Doubrava is located about west of Karviná and east of Ostrava. It lies in the Ostrava Basin lowland in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia. There are several ponds in the municipality.
It is not clear when the village was founded, according to historians, it could have been around 1150. The first written mention of Doubrava is in a document of Pope Gregory IX issued in 1229 among villages belonging to Benedictine abbey in Tyniec, as Dubrowa. In 1268 it was bestowed by Władysław Opolski to the newly established Orlová monastery.
Politically it belonged then to the Duchy of Opole and Racibórz and Castellany of Cieszyn, which was ruled by a local branch of Piast dynasty. In 1327 the duchy became a fee of the Kingdom of Bohemia, which after 1526 became part of the Habsburg monarchy. In 1573 it was sold as one of a dozen villages and the town of Freistadt and formed a state country split from the Duchy of Teschen.
An important milestone in the history of the village was the discovery of coal. Mining was started in 1822 by Baron Anton Mattencloit, the then owner of Doubrava. He sold the shaft to Salomon Mayer von Rothschild in 1845, who had second mining pit dug in 1854 and christened the pits Eleonora and Bettina. After World War II, they were merged under one mine called Doubrava Mine and became part of the OKD company.
After Revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire a modern municipal division was introduced in the re-established Austrian Silesia. The village as a municipality was subscribed at first to the political district of Teschen and the legal district of Freistadt, which in 1868 became an independent political district.
According to the censuses conducted in 1880–1910 the population of the municipality grew from 2,382 in 1880 to 5,660 in 1910.
