history

Magnificent was located at the foot of the Ore Mountains , about two kilometers south of the city of Ossegg . The forests, rich in game, clean water and arable soil led to a settlement in the early Stone Age. In 1203 the village was mentioned in a treaty of the Bohemian Duke Ottokar . The further historical development is closely connected with the place Neudorf. Both places were dominated by agriculture, mostly spared from the chaos of war. In 1680 many residents died of a plague epidemic. From about 20 farmers at the beginning of the 17th century, the population grew to 200 in the next 200 years, mostly German settlers who colonized the area during the rule of the Lords of Riesenburg . In 1831, Herrlich consisted of 37 houses with 202 residents. There was an inn in the village. The parish was Alt-Ossegg. Until the mid-19th century was Herrlich the Good Ossegg servants.

In the middle of the 19th century, lignite was found in the area and mining began. The first Czech resident arrived in 1850. In 1870 the first shaft was put into operation, the Nelson mine , in 1871 Pokrok (progress) and 20 years later Alexander . Mining attracted more people. After the merger with Neudorf, the community had 856 inhabitants in 1885. On February 20, 1899, the villages were released from the rule of the Osek Monastery . The economy flourished, in 1919 there were already 2,866 Czechs and 937 Germans in both towns. A workers' house was opened in 1920 and the mining settlement was completed in 1926. The originally dominant agriculture had lost its economic weight, but not its importance; because she had to take care of the miners.

In 1927 the double village Neudorf-Herrlich was renamed Herrlich. In 1930 the population almost doubled to 5,357, 3,562 of them Czech. On January 3, 1934, 142 miners were killed in a mining accident. After the Munich Agreement was signed , most of the Czech population withdrew inland. The end of the Second World War was marked by Allied air raids . After the war, mining was intensively expanded. In the 1950s there were still around 3,300 residents in the village. In 1969 the National Committee of Ústí nad Labem (Aussig) district decided to demolish the village. The residents were moved to a new settlement in Osek . In the years 1970 to 1980 Hrdlovka was sacrificed to the brown coal mining in the Brüxer pan . The area of ​​Hrdlovka was added to the town of Duchcov , that of Hrdlovka-Nový Dvůr (Neuhof) to the town of Osek.
