Tisá (German: Tyssa) is a municipality and village in Ústí nad Labem District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,000 inhabitants.
Etymology
The name is derived from the Proto-Slavic word tes and the Czech word tis, meaning 'yew'.[2]
Geography
Tisá is located about 12 kilometres (7 mi) north of Ústí nad Labem, on the border with Germany. It lies mostly in the western tip of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and the eponymous protected landscape area. The southern part of the municipal territory belongs to the Ore Mountains. Tisá is known for a group of rocks within the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, the Tisa Rocks, which are protected as a nature monument.
History
Around the year 500, a group of the Slavs came to the area of today's village. In the 14th century the Vantenberk family usurped an extensive area around Děčín and built a stronghold named Šenov. Under the region of knights of Bünau (Czech: Bynov) there was a major economic expansion. In 1554–1557, Günter I developed a castle with a Lutheran church, presbytery, school and brewery, and the name of the village was changed due to the castle into Schönstein. In 1631, Croatians and Swedes burned all of the objects in Tisá and Schönstein, and Schönstein lost its importance. From 1750, several factories were built, and the municipality became a centre of the button industry.[2]
