Preschen was a purely agricultural village until the 19th century . The opening of the brick clay deposit between Ugezd, Preschen and Briesen led to the founding of the Eduard Nehse pottery and artificial stone factory in the 19th century.

In 1831 Preschen consisted of 22 houses with 123 German-speaking residents. The rectory was Ugest . Preschen remained subject to Gut Ossegg until the middle of the 19th century .

Müller building block factory was established. In the second half of the 19th century, the emerging lignite mining changed the character of the rural German village in the fertile Grundbach valley. The railway was built in 1860. From 1868 the village belonged to the Teplitz district and from 1896 to the Dux district . In the 1870s Preschen broke away from Lang Augezd and formed its own community. In 1880 the community consisted of 37 houses and had 199 German-speaking residents. In 1894 a post and telegraph office was set up in Preschen. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Czech place name Přešťany was used as an alternative . After 1900 the place received a drinking water supply and was connected to the electricity network. The boom in mining allowed Preschen to grow further. In 1921 Preschen including the Heide settlement consisted of 66 houses with 562 inhabitants. In 1930 634 people lived in the community. As a result of the Munich Agreement , Preschen was added to the German Reich in 1938 and initially belonged to the Dux district . From May 1, 1939, the village was part of the newly formed district of Bilin . In the census of May 17, 1939, the community had 715 inhabitants.

In 1950, the meanwhile grown together communities Břežánky and Břešťany were merged to one municipality Břežánky. In the course of the abolition of the Okres Bílina, the municipality Břežánky was assigned to the Okres Teplice in 1961. Between 1964 and 1970, Břešťany was relocated in the course of the opening of the large open-cast mine důl Maxim Gorkij and on November 1, 1970, it was incorporated into Bílina together with Břežánky. Two years later the village was devastated.
