Hostomice (German: Hostomitz) is a market town in Teplice District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,200 inhabitants.
Etymology
The name is derived from the personal name Hostoma, meaning "the village of Hostoma's people".[2]
Geography
Hostomice is located about 5 kilometres (3 mi) south of Teplice and 17 km (11 mi) southwest of Ústí nad Labem. It lies no the border between the Most Basin and Central Bohemian Uplands. The highest point is at 284 m (932 ft) above sea level. The Bílina River flows through the market town. The Bouřlivec Stream joins the Bílina in Hostomice.
A notable feature of the market town's panorama is the hill Husův vrch at 266 m (873 ft) above sea level. The hill is protected as a nature monument with an area of 4.7 ha (12 acres).[3]
History
The first written mention of Hostomice is from 1225, when the village was donated to the newly established monastery in Světec.[4]
Until the mid-19th century, Hostomice was an agricultural village. In the second half of the 19th century, glassworks and brickworks were established, and the village was industrialised. Coal was mined in the vicinity of Hostomice and a railway line was built, which led to an influx of population. In 1905, Hostomice was promoted to a market town by Emperor Franz Joseph I.[4]
