History

[edit]

The first written mention of Malšovice is from 1515, when the Děčín estate was sold to the Lords of Salhausen. It belonged to the Děčín estate until the establishment of independent municipalities in 1849. In 1849–1911, Malšovice was a part of Vilsnice (today a city part of Děčín). Since 1911, it has been a separate municipality.[3]

Until 1945, Malšovice had a German majority. In 1945, the German-speaking inhabitants were expelled and the municipality was resettled by Czechs.[3]
