In the second half of the 1950s they were transferred to the newly established District Archives in Kadaň (called the district archives from 1960 and the state district archives since 1992). The collection was arranged and inventoried in 1972.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The first record of Prunéřov is from 1261. It was a serf village, belonging to various estates (Perštejn, Nový Šumburk, Hasištejn and Ahníkov-Prunéřov) before the abolition of patrimonial administration. From 1849 it was an autonomous community and, since 1850, part of the judicial and political district of Kadaň.
