Přísečnice (German: Preßnitz) was a mining town in the Ore Mountains that was first noted in 1335, when John of Bohemia granted the inhabitants an exemption from customs.[1] It was disestablished in 1974 due to the construction of the Přísečnice Dam; though the region was already underpopulated due to the post-WWII expulsion of the German population.[2][3]
