history

According to the Chomutov city archivist Václav Kůrka, the clearing settlement of Šerchov was created during the times of Načeratec from Chomutav. Načeratec and his son Friedrich divided and sold their property successively. Scharhaw was first mentioned in writing in 1382 in the folios of the Coming Komotau of the Teutonic Order . The name of the village, which was popularly called Schercha , is said to be derived from Scherung. Over time, the name forms Sserycha , Sserych and finally Schergau emerged . The Czech form of the name Šerchov has been documented since 1561. After lengthy disputes with the Bohemian Crown, Wenceslaus IV took advantage of the order's weakness after the Battle of Tannenberg in 1410 and confiscated its property. In 1411 Wenceslaus expelled the order from the country. Subsequently, the village became part of the Chomutov rule. In 1563 there was a customs post in Schergau on the trade route from Görkau to the Mark Meissen , which was passed by 1,000 four-in-hand horses every year . Mainly the carts traveling over the Bernauer Pass to Saxony came from Alaunhütte St. Christoph in Görkau. After the town of Komotau was ransomed in 1605, Schergau became part of the Rothenhaus dominion . The village survived the Thirty Years' War quite unscathed. In 1651 the village had 47 inhabitants. In the berní rula of 1654, eleven properties with fifty residents are listed for Schergau. The residents lived from agriculture, which was not very productive because of the mountainous location, as well as from timber haulage services to Komotau and tension services for the carts passing through. In 1843 the village had 73 inhabitants and consisted of 30 houses. A few small iron ore mines were operated between Schergau and Rodenau , which delivered their ore to the steelworks in Hohenofen . The residents made shingles at home. Halfway to Quinau there was a board mill by the stately pond. The school and pastor's location was Platten .

After the abolition of patrimonial Schergau / Šerchov formed with the Teichmühle from 1850 a political municipality in the Komotau district administration. In 1868 Schergau was incorporated into Platten and became independent again in 1880. In 1930 Schergau consisted of 14 houses. After the Munich Agreement , the community was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Komotau district until 1945 . In 1939 the community only had 66 inhabitants. After the end of the Second World War, Šerchov came back to Czechoslovakia . The German residents were subsequently expelled . In 1951, eleven people lived in the 21 houses in the village. On May 14, 1954, Šerchov was again incorporated into Blatno . The migration continued. In 1970 only five houses were permanently inhabited and the village had eleven inhabitants. In 1991, 15 houses were used as holiday homes. In 2001 the village consisted of 5 houses in which 15 people lived.
