Question ok, but..

I just read this and I am a bit confused;
Quote:
Welcome to the double bass workshop "ALFRED MEYER" in the heart of the musictown Markneukirchen!
Quote:

You will find the town Markneukirchen in the middle of the beautiful Vogtland, the centre of the german production of orchestra instruments.
Once here created bohemian violin maker the tradition of the construction of music instruments in our region.The first double bass maker guild in Bohemian had been founded 1677 in Markneukirchen. Since then generations of families have been involved in making musical instruments.

We are following this tradition and we see the making of master-instruments as our life´s work.


Markneukirchen Germany is IN Bohemia?
I thought Bohemia was on the Czech side on the border across thru Prague.

In the Historical map with Bohemia in red, Markneukirchen is just on the border but doesn't look to be IN Bohemia, just next to it with Prague being smack in the middle as I had believed it to be. I would expect any Guild of Bohemia to be more centered like in Prague rather than in Germany just on their western border or outside of it. Strange I think.
