history

The first written mention of Grasengrün comes from 1409. From the beginning of the 16th century until the abolition of patrimonial rule, the village was subject to Schlackenwerth . The owners of the village included the Schlicken and the dukes of Saxony-Lauenburg . In 1690 the Margraves of Baden acquired the property by marriage. Later the goods came to Ferdinand III.

From 1850, Grasengrün and the Fuchsloch district formed a political municipality in the Karlsbad district. With the completion of the railway from Schlackenwerth to Karlsbad, Grasengrün was connected to the railway network in 1871. In 1930 the community had 597 inhabitants. As a result of the Munich Agreement , it was annexed to the German Reich in 1938. In 1939 543 people lived in Grasengrün. From 1938 to 1945 Grasengrün was part of the German district of Karlsbad and came back to Czechoslovakia after the end of the Second World War. From 1946 to 1960 the municipality, which was renamed Hájek in 1948, belonged to Okres Karlovy Vary-okolí and since 1961 again to Okres Karlovy Vary. In 1961 Nová Víska was incorporated. Between 1978 and 1990 Hájek was a part of Sadov .
