Ruins of the Abandoned Village of Zosum (Ždánov)
Highlight • Historical Site
In Zosum there was an inn, a shop and a shoemaker. From 1868 the village belonged to the Schüttenhofen district. In 1869 the Hotel Winkelbauer was built on the main road leading to Bergreichenstein. At the beginning of the 20th century the place had the Czech name Žďánov, which was changed to Ždánov in 1924. In the 1921 census, 86 people lived in Zosum's 17 houses. The inn “In der Schwebe” (“V Předpeklí”), which sold bottled beer and tobacco products, closed in the 1920s, but was still inhabited until 1961. At that time, a TB epidemic was raging in Zosum, from which several people died. In 1937, a bunker line of the Czechoslovak Wall was built along the pass road from Zosum to Rindlau (Žlíbek). After the Munich Agreement in 1938, Zosum was separated from Nezdice and added to the German Reich as a district of Bergreichenstein. Between 1939 and 1945 the village belonged to the Bergreichenstein district. After the end of the Second World War, Ždánov returned to Czechoslovakia and was again assigned to the municipality of Nezdice as a district. Shortly after the end of the war, five children died in Ždánov while playing with found ammunition. As part of the expulsion of the Germans from Czechoslovakia, most of the residents of Ždánov were taken to the Dlouhá Ves internment camp on June 29, 1945, from where they were later deported by train to Bavaria. The repopulation of Ždánov was unsuccessful and the houses in the village fell into disrepair. By 1950 it had ceased to exist as a village. In the course of the abolition of the Sušice Okres, the Ždánov desert was assigned to the Klatovy Okres in 1960. Zosum number 12 was inhabited by a family until 1961. This was relocated because it was allegedly too dangerous due to the nearby military training area. After the resettlement in 1961, it was leased again to a Prague family. In the 1970s, the house burned down completely during a New Year's Eve celebration.
