history

The Želénský Kopec ( Rother Mountain ), which overturned with the overburden from the Konkordia mine since the 1930s, was one of the most important archaeological sites in Bohemia, whose finds date from the Paleolithic to the 9th century. On it were u. a. a settlement site of the Knovíz culture as well as an early Christian burial mound with rich and extraordinary gold jewelry additions discovered.

The village was first mentioned in writing in 1393. The ferruginous slate of the Rothen Berg was mined since the Middle Ages; the rock with gray or white veins was u. a. used for the castle walls of the fortress Dux as well as for markers and gravestones. In 1492 King Vladislav II Jagiello released the Zielenky estate from the feud and left it to Jiří Želénský of Sebuzín as free property. Jiří Želénský bought a second estate in Zielenky from the feud in 1529 . His heirs sold both goods between 1530 and 1545 to Wenceslaus von Lobkowicz , who added them to his rule Dux . In 1642 the Counts of Waldstein inherited the property. From the Berní rula of 1654 it can be seen that Želénky was one of the wealthiest villages of the rule at that time. In 1680 Johann Friedrich von Waldstein raised the lordships of Dux and Oberleutensdorf to a family affide . A wooden festival is said to have stood in Schelenken until the 1740s . In 1787 there were 28 houses in Schelenken .

In 1831 Schelenken consisted of 30 houses with 167 German-speaking residents. There was an official farm and a sheep farm in the village . The parish was Sobrusan . Until the middle of the 19th century, Schelenken remained subordinate to the Fideikommissherrschaft Dux.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Schelenken / Želénky 1850 a district of the municipality Sobrusan in Leitmeritzer county and judicial district Dux. From 1868 the village belonged to the Teplitz district. Because of excessive expenses for maintaining the joint administration with Sobrusan, the local representative Schellenken decided on February 20, 1883 to separate the village, which had 37 houses with 317 inhabitants, from Sobrusan. The application was rejected by the Dux district council as well as the Teplitz district administration and the Imperial and Royal Lieutenancy; Due to the small size of Schellenken and the high liabilities, the fulfillment of the obligations associated with self-employment was called into question. In 1884 the state parliament also rejected the separation. Since 1896 the place belonged to the district Dux .

The emerging lignite mining in the area led to a population explosion at the turn of the century. In 1890 the village had 527 inhabitants, in 1900 there were 1016 people in Schellenken , including 161 Czechs. In 1901, the "Trust in God" ( Důvěřuj v boha ) and "Aspern" mines opened in Schellenken . In 1903 a Czech school opened. The proportion of the Czech population continued to grow. In the 1910s Schellenken / Želénky broke away from Sobrusan and formed its own community. In 1930 Schellenken had grown to 1,229 inhabitants, including 806 Czechs and 413 Germans. At this time the open pit "Konkordia" including the associated power station became the largest mining operation in the area.

As a result of the Munich Agreement , Schellenken was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Dux district until 1945 . In 1939 the community had 993 inhabitants. During the German occupation, a forced labor camp for French prisoners of war and Eastern workers was set up on the outskirts. On April 1, 1943 Schellenken was merged with Sobrusan to form a community of Neubergen , which had around 2500 inhabitants. After the end of the Second World War, the place came back to Czechoslovakia. Neubergen was again divided into the communities Zabrušany and Želénky. The German-Bohemian population was expelled after the war. In 1950 Želénky had 749 inhabitants, in 1960 there were 698. After the dissolution of the Okres Duchcov, Želénky was assigned to the Okres Teplice in 1961 and incorporated into Zabrušany in the same year. In 1970 there were 523 people living in the village. In 1991 Želénky had 353 inhabitants. In the 2001 census, 339 people lived in the village's 92 houses. In total, the place consists of 111 houses.

Želénky has had a coat of arms since 1997.
