List of German exonyms for places in the Czech Republic

Below are links to subpages with more detailed listings of the German language names of towns and villages in different regions of the Czech Republic. Many of these German names are now exonyms, but used to be endonyms commonly used by the local German population, which was invited into the less-populated regions as colonists by Czech rulers and lived in many of these places from the early modern period until after World War II. Some German place names were often "Germanised" versions of the original Czech/Slavic names, as seen e.g. from their pronunciation, while some of the "new" Czech place names had to be found/created after the transfer of majority of the German population following the World War II, since there was no traditional Czech/Slavic name for the place.

Readers searching for the current name of the former village of Schneiderhof should be cautioned that the reference to Mysliv shown below can be misleading. Germans were expelled from Schneiderhof after World War II and the village was briefly resettled by Czechs and apparently was then called Mysliv for a brief time. Later the Czechs were forced out and the village was destroyed. Neither village, Schneiderhof or Mysliv, exists today at that location (1.5 km west-northwest of Vseruby u Kdyne). However, there does exist today a village named Mysliv which is 43 km east-northeast of Vseruby u Kdyne; this village is not the location of the former Schneiderhof.
