history

Statues from Holtschitz, now on the bridge in Maria Ratschitz (Mariánské Radčice)

Archaeological finds indicate that the area was inhabited as early as the early Middle Ages. The first written mentions come from the 14th century. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Holtschitz was owned by the Hněvín Castle in Brüx . In 1595 the castle and the place were sold by Rudolf II to the city of Brüx, who sold it to Kaspar the elder Bellwitz von Nostitz in 1604, who sold it to the Lords of Eisenberg ( z Jezeří ) in 1631 . Ferdinand Wilhelm von Lobkowicz acquired Holtschitz in 1689 and his descendants held it until 1848.

27 farmers and their families lived in the village in 1620, most of them growing corn and raising cattle. After the Thirty Years' War and a great fire in 1659, the number was decimated to three farmers and six cottagers with their families. In 1759 the number of houses grew to 30, in 1846 there were 262 inhabitants.

The Robert shaft was opened in 1860, and at the end of the 19th century another shaft of the same name was added, in which 283 miners were employed. The number of inhabitants continued to grow and peaked in 1930 with 1,140 citizens, around a third of whom were Czech, with the municipality belonging to the judicial district of Görkau and Komotau from the middle of the 19th century .

The statues of the stone bridge from the 16th century and the baroque parish from the 18th century were brought to Maria Ratschitz .

From 1955 the place had a stop on the railway line Ústí nad Labem – Chomutov .
