Stonařov

Stonařov (German: "Stannern") is a village near city Jihlava in the Vysočina Region in Moravia, Czech Republic. It has 927 inhabitants (2004).

The village was established at the end of 12th century. First written document mentions Stonařov in 1347. In 1367 it received township privileges. In 1530 the owners of the town sold it to neighbouring Jihlava.

Peasant rebellions from 1712-22 were suppressed. In 1782 the town acquired important trade privileges. On May 22 1808 the place was hit by a Stannern meteorite shower.

The main trade and post road between Prague and Vienna built in 1750 went through Stonařov. In 1850 the village had 2,009 inhabitants; during the next decades the population decreased.

The village was damaged by large fires in 1900 and 1901. Before World War I the place was a target of tourists from Vienna. German-speaking inhabitants were expelled after the end of World War II.

Agriculture and small-scale textile production were the main sources of income, though at the end of the 19th century two textile manufacturies were built here.

Nazi official Arthur Seyss-Inquart was born in Stonařov in 1892.

The asteroid 61208 Stonarov was named in its honour on 1 June 2007.
