It has about 2,000 inhabitants.
Administrative division
Hrob consists of four municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):
- Hrob (1,331)
- Křižanov (140)
- Mlýny (127)
- Verneřice (355)
Etymology
The word hrob means 'grave' in modern Czech, but this is just a coincidence. The original German name was Grap, later modified to Grab and transcribed into Czech as Hrob. The word grap was probably a term for a prospector's trench for search of silver ores.
Geography
Hrob is located about 7 km west of Teplice and 21 km west of Ústí nad Labem. The southern part of the municipal territory with the built-up area lies in the Most Basin and the northern part lies in the Ore Mountains. The highest point is at 855 m above sea level. The Bouřlivec Stream flows through the town. Artificial lakes Otakar and Barbora are located south of the town.

Sights

The most notable building is the Church of Saint Barbara. The original Gothic church was founded in 1228, but was damaged during the Hussite Wars and destroyed during the Thirty Years' Wars. It was then renewed in 1637 and rebuilt into its current pseudo-Gothic form in the 19th century.
The Evangelic church was built in a style influenced by Jugendstil in 1900–1902. It was designed by the Schilling & Graebner firm. It has a massive tower decorated with Art Nouveau elements.
