History
According to archaeological research, Slavic tribes lived here before the 10th century, and there was an important Slavic gord on the nearby Rubín hill. Some researchers even identify Rubín with the mythical Wogastisburg, which was the scene of the Battle of Wogastisburg. The first written mention of Podbořany is in a deed of the monastery in Postoloprty from 1362. The village was owned by the monastery until 1426, when it was bought by the Lords of Gutštejn. During their rule, Podbořany became a market town. In 1575, as a property of the Schlick family, Podbořany received town rights. During the 16th century, the Germanisation of Podbořany started. After the Thirty Years' War, Germans became a majority. In 1945–1946, the German population was expelled and they were partially replaced by Czechs from Volhynia.
Geography
Podbořany is located about southwest of Louny and east of Karlovy Vary. It lies mostly in the Most Basin, but a small western part of the municipal territory extends into the Doupov Mountains and includes the highest point of Podbořany at above sea level. The stream Dolánecký potok flows through the town.
