history

Town view from 1910

The first written mention of the place comes from the year 1346 in connection with the parish , which belonged to Freiberg .

The village belonged to the Ossegg castle of the Lords of Riesenburg , who sold the rule to the Margrave Wilhelm I of Meissen in 1398 . After the Riesenburg rule became part of the Kingdom of Bohemia again through the Treaty of Eger in 1459, various pledges took turns as owners. After 1488, Prince Paul Kaplirz de Sulewicz moved the seat of power to the Duchcov fortress . In 1523 the rule was transferred to Diepold von Lobkowicz , followed in 1538 by Wenzel von Lobkowicz. Later the widow Polyxena Marie von Lobkowicz took over the land. She married Maximilian von Waldstein . After her death in 1651, her husband inherited the Dux estate. Over time, the village was referred to as Flew , Fflagie , Ffley , Fleja and Floe .

In 1583 there were nine families in Fleyh. In view of the fact that the soil did not produce any yield, but there were large areas of forest, the majority of the population occupied themselves with the processing of wood. The Saxon electors were also interested in this wood for the needs of the pits and huts in the Freiberg mountain area. And so from 1624 to 1629 a raft ditch, the Neugraben rafts , was built from the Flöha via Georgendorf to Clausnitz , which led there to the Freiberg Mulde , the remains of which can still be found today.

Former church in Fláje, now in Český Jiřetín

Most of the town's residents switched to Protestantism under the influence of nearby Saxony. In 1653 they built a Protestant prayer house. After 1668, the Protestant part of the population was forcibly Catholicized by the Capuchin Brothers . About half of the residents left Fleyh and fled to Saxony. The school was renovated by the Catholic clergy, a rectory built and the church expanded. It was a wooden church on a stone slab, dedicated to Saint John the Baptist . The Protestant chapel that had been built earlier probably formed the core.

In the 18th century there were 34 farmers, two millers, two tailors as well as a butcher, a carter, village shepherd and a teacher with their families in the village . In 1831 Fley , also called Floyh or Flöha or Blžaný or Fleja , consisted of 88 houses with 491 German-speaking residents, including 22 traders. The parish church of John the Baptist and the school were under stately patronage. There was also a forester's house, three grinding mills and three board mills in the village . Offside was the tee box where the water from the Flöha was channeled into the Neugraben rafts. Fley was the pastor for Willersdorf and Motzdorf . Until the mid-19th century was Fley of Fideikommissherrschaft servants Dux.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Fleyh / Fláje 1850 with the districts Langewiese , Motzdorf and Willersdorf and the single customs house Bette leak and the forester's house Georgshöhe ( Jiřík ) a municipality in Leitmeritzer county and judicial district Dux. From 1868 the community belonged to the Teplitz district and from 1896 to the Dux district . As a result of the Munich Agreement , Fleyh was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Dux district until 1945 . In 1939, 1052 people lived in the municipality and its districts. After the end of the Second World War, the place came back to Czechoslovakia and the German-Bohemian population was expelled .

Reservoir of the Fláje dam

The Fláje dam was built between 1958 and 1960 . The village of Fláje and the districts Mackov and Vilejšov in the catchment area were dissolved for this purpose. Below the dam, a small settlement was created for the dam construction workers, to which the name Fláje was transferred. In the course of the dissolution of the municipality, the cadastre Fláje was added to the municipality of Český Jiřetín in Okres Most in 1960 and the cadastres Dlouhá Louka, Mackov and Vilejšov to the municipality of Osek in Okres Teplice . The former village of Fláje was then partially flooded by the reservoir, the wooden church of John the Baptist from the 17th century stood on the eastern bank. In 1969 the church including the statue from the 15th century was moved to Český Jiřetín and restored there in 1995. In 2001 Fláje consisted of 3 houses, in which again 20 people lived. From the old village, the foundations of the converted church and houses are still visible in the eastern bank area of ​​the reservoir.
