history
The area was settled by Eastern Charvates in the 10th century. The border point of the settlement areas of the Slavic tribes of the Czechs , Zlitschans and Charvats was on the Elbe .
Telčice
In the course of the establishment of the Sedlec Monastery , the village Telčice was first mentioned in 1143 as a monastic property. The Telčice fortress, which was owned by Hugo von Teltschitz at that time, was also handed down from 1199. The fortress was located on an important trade route that led through the Elbe.
After the destruction of the monastery by the Hussites in 1421, Emperor Sigismund seized the monastery property and pledged it several times to creditors. In 1436 Kunes Voděrad von Sekeřice became the owner of Telčice in this way. From the Sekerský of Voděrady ownership fell to Vladislav II , who in 1507 gave it to Nikolaus Trčka of Lípa as a pledge. Two years later, after the Bohemian estates protested against the pledge of the royal property in Zdechovice , the king redeemed the pledge. 1515 came the rule Zdechovice with the villages Zdechovice, Telčice, Chvaletice, Trnávka, Řečany, Labětín and Spytovice in the course of a settlement with Zdeniek Lev von Rosental to these as debt settlement .
In 1521 Václav Lorecký of Elkouš acquired the rule, followed in 1558 by Charles of Žerotín and from 1585 on Hynko Vrabský of Vrabí. Since Telčice was annexed to Zdechovice, the Telčice Fortress lost its importance and the stones were used to build the Zdechovice Castle. Remnants of the building were preserved until the 19th century.
From 1642 the lords of Věžník became the owners of the estate. In 1720 Telčice became part of Chvaletice. In 1722 Karl Josef Graf von Paar bought the Zdechovicer estates from Leopold von Věžník.
After the abolition of patrimonial Telčice was part of the municipality of Chvaletice in the Pardubice district . In 1869 there were 206 people living in Telčice, in 1900 there were 186. The owners of the estates until 1889 were the Counts of Paar.
In 1950 the village had 231 inhabitants. Between 1950 and 1952 623 apartments were built in the place. In addition to cottages and homes, 13 apartment blocks were built in the new settlements south and east of old Telčice. In 1951 a mining vocational school was inaugurated. In 1954 the place got its own school. This turned out to be too small even before construction. Although the plans since 1952 provided for a future population of 7,000, a school was built that would have been enough for 300 residents. In 1953 Telčice was separated from Chvaletice and became a separate municipality.
A cultural center opened in 1958. After the dissolution of the Okres Přelouč Telčice came back to the Okres Pardubice in 1961. The place now had 2380 inhabitants.
Chvaletice
The first mention of the farm, the fortress and the village of Chwaleticz ' comes from 1393. The owner was Hereš from Chwaleticz.
Iron ore mines existed around Chvaletice and Zdechovice, which the chronicler Václav Hájek z Libočan also mentioned since the time of Ottokar II Přemysl . Mining ceased during the Thirty Years War. He was resumed at the end of the 18th century, but this was limited to the exploitation of the Chvaletitz iron hats . The village of Chvaletice was moved from the banks of the Elbe south to a higher location in the second half of the 18th century. After the tolerance patent was issued in 1781, a Protestant community was formed. The church, the rectory and a school were consecrated on the new village square in 1783.
In 1858, the Kuttenberg Mining Court awarded a mine field of four dimensions under the name Hedwig to Count Jan Kinský . In 1869 612 people lived in the place. In 1882 the church, which until then had no tower and bells, was expanded to include a church tower. The Joachimsthaler Bergbaugesellschaft marshaled the Karl and Hope mine fields in 1886 and began systematic mining. After the discovery of a large manganese iron ore and pyrite deposit in the vicinity of Chvaletice and Zdechovice, the mining industry in Chvaletice flourished at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1900 Chvaletice had 581 inhabitants. The Bohemian Mining Company in Joachimsthal processed the iron ore from Chvaletice in its ironworks in Králův Dvůr . In 1909 the mining company merged with the Prague Ironworks Company. At that time, mining took place in 24 mine fields and four underground shafts.
After the abolition of patrimonial Chvaletice formed with the districts Mlýnky and Telčice a municipality in the Pardubitz district . In 1916 72 miners were working in the pits. They were transported on horse- drawn carts to the Řečany nad Labem train station . In 1930 Chvaletice had 586 inhabitants. After the Prague Ironworks Company was nationalized in 1945, the mine in Chvaletice belonged to the Central Bohemian coal and iron ore mines as mine No. IX. 15 single-family houses were built in 1948. In 1949 Mine IX became the state-owned company Manganorudné a kyzové závody Chvaletice . In 1950 the population was 547. At this time the place came to Okres Přelouč. Pyrite was of great importance for Czechoslovakia, as it was imported from Spain, Sweden and Cyprus before the war. In 1953 the Telčice district became its own municipality. Due to the expansion of the mining industry, most of Chvaletice below the church was demolished as a result of mining damage in the 1960s. Only the upper houses around the church have been preserved. By 1961 the population had dropped to 262.
Construction of the power plant
After a large pyrite deposit was discovered in Poland in the 1960s , it was decided to stop mining and to build a coal-fired power station on the site of the mine . The construction work for the 800 MW power plant began in 1971. For the delivery of lignite from Ústí nad Labem , the Elbe was deepened to 2.80 m and a port for coal handling was built. On January 1, 1975, the communes Telčice and Chvaletice were merged. The original village Chvaletice was named Chvaletice I and the mining settlement Telčice was named Chvaletice II. Mining was stopped in the same year.
In 1977 shipping on the Elbe began on the section between Týnec nad Labem and Chvaletice II, and the power plant was completed in 1979. The completion of the port construction took place at the beginning of the 1980s with the final work for the Elbwasserstraße.
On March 1, 1980, Chvaletice I was renamed Hornická Čtvrť, which now had 134 inhabitants, and Chvaletice II, which had 2897 inhabitants, became Chvaletice.
Chvaletice has been a town since 1993, with the district Chvaletice counting 3165 inhabitants and the district Hornická Čtvrť 92 inhabitants.
In 1995 a new railway station was built and a year later the coal deliveries by water were stopped.
