Stříbro (Czech pronunciation: [ˈstr̝̊iːbro]; German: Mies) is a town in the Pilsen Region of the Czech Republic, some 25 km (16 mi) to the west from the region capital of Pilsen.
Stříbro is also the seat of the Municipality with Extended Competence.
The Czech name derives from silver (Czech: stříbro), which used to be mined there. The German name Mies comes from the name of the river Mies/Mže (Latin: Misa) flowing through the town.
History
Stříbro was a mining settlement, first documented in 1183. It became a town in 1263.
Until 1918, MIES IN BÖHMEN (previously MIES) was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), head of the district with the same name, one of the 94 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Bohemia.[1]
