history
Bražec was first mentioned in 1289 when Benda von Brasecz appeared as a witness. In 1316 the fortress was mentioned for the first time as the seat of Hynek von Brasecz, a feudal man of the Lords of Riesenburg on Beschau and Castel Sant'Angelo , who was charged with collective murder before the regional court. The festival was located one kilometer north of the village on the ridge between the Pergler Bach and the Lamnitzbach on the southern slope of the Kirchberg, next to it was the Church of St. Apostle Bartholomew. The time of the construction of the church is not known, it is documented for the first time in 1336 and was already a parish church at that time. In 1408 the lords of Steinbach acquired the estate, from 1410 it belonged to Johann von Schweinichen ( Jan Svinovec ze Svinavy ). In the Hussite Wars , the area was devastated by Catholic troops during the Second (1421) and Fourth Crusade (1427), and in 1428 the troops of Jakob von Wrzessowitz invaded . During this time, both the church and the fortress were probably burned down during a battle, while excavations revealed large amounts of metal crossbow arrowheads.
From 1431 Heinrich von Schweinichen ( Jindřich Svinovec ) can be proven as the owner of the Pyrgleyns estate . On the Kirchberg only the destroyed church was rebuilt using the stones from the old fortress. The Lords of Schweinichen had the New Fortress built in the village of Pyrgleyns . It was probably a water festival, about whose shape and exact location nothing is known. Around 1480, Heinrich III. von Plauen the property Pyrgleyns and connected it to the rule Neuhartenstein . On March 17, 1493, he granted the village various privileges, including the right of inheritance. In 1510 Georg Plick bought from the estate Plickenstein Pergles so the estate was again separated from Neuhartenstein. The parish of Pergles had become Protestant in 1555. In 1568 the Lords of Zedtwitz inherited the estate and the fortress. Georg Wilhelm von Zedtwitz and his brothers sold the Pergles fortress with the court and the villages of Pergles and Ohorn in 1581 to Anna Caroline, widowed Colonna von Fels, née Countess Schlik , who added the estate to her lordship in Engelsburg. This was also the last mention of the fortress of Pergles; it can be assumed that it became extinct after losing its importance as a manor house. After the Battle of the White Mountain , the goods Engelsburg, Gießhübel , Buchau and Schönau left behind by Leonhard Colonna von Fels were confiscated in 1621 and sold to Hermann Czernin von Chudenitz . This hit Pergles in 1622 to the Gießhübel estate. In the course of the re-Catholicization, the parish of Pergles went out in 1624 and the church became a branch church of the parish of Buchau. From 1641 registers were kept. In the berní rula of 1654, eleven peasants, seven Chalupners and five other serfs are listed for Pergles . Two of the farmers owned a pond, one farmer owned a line of forest and one of the Chalupers owned a tavern. In addition, two mills belonged to the village; the Upper Pergleser Mühle was located below Langgrün on the Lamnitzbach, the Lower Pergleser Mühle stood on the embankment of the mill pond ( Zelený rybník ). In 1783, a separate parish was created in Pergles , and the villages of Langgrün, Ohorn and Olitzhaus also belonged to the district. Two years later the new baroque parish church, built between 1778 and 1781, was consecrated on the Kirchenberg. The cemetery stretched on both sides of the church and on the site of the old fortress. The school for the parish places was located in the rectory next to the church. In 1847, 427 people lived in the German-speaking village. Until the middle of the 19th century, Bergles remained subordinate to Gießhübel.
After the abolition of patrimonial Bergles / Brazec formed from 1849 with the district Am Berge a municipality in the judicial district of Buchau . From 1868 the community belonged to the Luditz district . At the end of the 19th century, school expositions were set up in Olitzhaus and Ohorn. In 1880 the community had 395 inhabitants, in 1921 there were 428. The Czech place name was changed in 1924 to Bražec . In the 1920s, a small schoolhouse was set up in the village of Bergles for the children of the first to third grades, the older pupils received their lessons in the old school Am Berge . In 1921 there were 428 people living in the 79 houses in the village, including a Czech. On June 25, 1921, children playing with the fire caused a major fire that destroyed five farms. During the fire in the rectory on June 4, 1923, numerous important documents were lost. In 1927 Pergles was electrified, the power supply came from the city of Kaaden . In the elections in the 1920s, the farmers' union received the majority, after which the Sudeten German Party gained influence and became the strongest force in the town. In 1930 the community had 380 inhabitants, in 1939 there were 378. In 1938 there were 1344 Catholics and nine Jews in the Bergles parish. As a result of the Munich Agreement , the municipality was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Luditz district until 1945 . At the end of the Second World War, a trek of Silesian refugees with 80 horses arrived in Bergles . On May 11, 1945, the Red Army occupied Bergles, after the war the community returned to the re-established Czechoslovakia. Most of the mostly German-Bohemian residents had previously fled the village to the west.
In 1945 only 119 people lived in the 86 houses in Bražec. After most of the remaining German residents were driven out in 1947, it was not possible to repopulate the place with Czechs. A JZD was founded in 1950 , at that time Bražec still had 90 inhabitants. The cooperative was dissolved again in the spring of 1953 due to mismanagement and the agricultural land was assigned to the Vintířov military assets. At the same time the village was evacuated and in 1953 it was added to the Hradiště military training area . Between 1953 and 1960, Bražec and Kostelní Hůrka were demolished, with the exception of the church and three houses. In 1958, the Bražec corridors were transferred to the Velichov military forest and property . The dilapidated church has used the military goods as a warehouse since the 1960s. After the church was set on fire by pioneers after a maneuver in 1963, its ruins were removed a little later as part of an exercise.
Afterwards, instead of the village, a military housing estate with four apartment blocks, several semi-detached houses, a school, a kindergarten, a cultural center and a library as well as several restaurants was built. The school was closed again in the mid-1970s, and the kindergarten ten years later. In 1992, 260 people lived in the Bražec military settlement. At the census of March 1, 2001, there were 266 people in Bražec. In 2004 Bražec consisted of 17 houses and had 263 inhabitants. In 2011, 241 people lived in Bražec and two in Dolní Valov.
At the beginning of 2016, Bražec was separated from the military area in the course of the downsizing of the military training areas and a new municipality was formed. At that time the community had 233 inhabitants, of whom 231 lived in Bražec and one each in Dolní Valov and Javorná. Of the 42 house numbers, 40 were in Bražec and one each in Dolní Valov and Javorná.
