History

The first written mention of Dolní Podluží is from 1485, as a village named Grunt. The village was later divided into two parts, Dolní and Horní Grunt ("Lower Grunt" and "Upper Grunt"; today Horní Podluží). Dolní Grunt is first mentioned in 1566. Between 1681 and 1850, it was a property of the Liechtenstein family as a part of Rumburk manor.[2]

Until 1918, the municipality was a part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), in the Rumburg (Rumburk) District, one of the 94 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Bohemia.[3]
