Administrative parts
[edit]The villages of Brůdek, Chalupy, Hájek, Hyršov, Kosteliště, Maxov, Pláně, Pomezí and Studánky are administrative parts of Všeruby.
Geography
[edit]Všeruby is located about 12 kilometres (7 mi) south of Domažlice and 52 km (32 mi) southwest of Plzeň, on the border with Germany. It lies in the Cham-Furth Depression. The highest point is at 574 m (1,883 ft) above sea level. The Chamb River flows through the eastern part of the municipal territory and then forms a part of the Czech-German border. The brook Hájecký potok (a tributary of the Chamb) originates here and supplies Všerubský Pond, which is a large pond in the centre of Všeruby.
History
[edit]The first written mention of Všeruby is from 1570, when it was promoted to a market town. It was then a part of the Rýzmberk estate, owned by Lords of Gutštejn. The owners of Všeruby often changed and included various less prominent noble families. From 1697 until the establishment of a sovereign municipality in 1848, Všeruby was property of the Stadion family.[2]
At the end of World War II, on 4 May 1945, the German 11th Panzer Division under command of General Wend von Wietersheim surrendered to the US 90th Infantry Division at Všeruby.[3]

Sights
[edit]
The main landmark of Všeruby is the Church of Saint Michael the Archangel. It was built in the Renaissance style in 1628–1650. A chapel was added to the church in the 18th century. The present appearance of the church is a result of the reconstruction in the second half of the 19th century, after it was damaged by a fire.[6]
The Church of Saint Anne is located in Hájek. It was built in the Baroque style in 1712–1717 on the site of an old wooden chapel. It is a pilgrimage site.[7]
