Ledvice (German Ladowitz ) is a town in Okres Teplice in the Czech Republic .
Geographical location
The city is located in the North Bohemian Basin on Ledvický potok ( Ladowitz Bach ), seven kilometers southwest of the city center of Teplice ( Teplice ). It is completely surrounded by mining landscapes and can only be reached via a cul-de-sac from Chotějovice. Southwest of Ledvice is the large open-cast brown coal mine of the Bílina mine, which extends to Mariánské Radčice . To the south is the Elektrárna Ledvice power plant, to the east is the drained residual hole of the Eleonora mine and to the north is an overburden dump at a height of 262 m.
Neighboring towns are Želénky in the northeast, Hostomice in the east, Chotějovice in the southeast, Chudeřice, Bílina -Teplické Předměstí and Bílina-Újezdské Předměstí in the south and Duchcov in the northwest. The neighboring villages of Břežánky , Břešťany and Jenišův Újezd , which used to be located to the south, as well as the western Liptice were excavated by the opencast mine.
history
Ledwic was first mentioned in a document in 1209. Until the 19th century, the place that belonged to the Dux rule was dominated by agriculture.
In 1831 Ladowitz consisted of 55 houses with 268 German-speaking residents. There was a public chapel in the village where mass was occasionally read. A grinding mill , a brick barn, a lime distillery, a potash boiler and lignite quarries lay aside . The parish was Dux . Until the middle of the 19th century, Ladowitz remained subject to the Fideikommissherrschaft Dux.
After the abolition of patrimonial Ladowitz / Ledvice formed from 1850 with the district Liptitz a municipality in the Leitmeritz district and judicial district Dux. From 1868 the village belonged to the Teplitz district . The discovery of large deposits of brown coal changed the place permanently from the second half of the 19th century. A lively mining activity began around Ladowitz, initially in small shafts. The Prague-Dux Railway Company built a coal railway from Osseg to Liptitz, with the extension of which Ladowitz was connected to the Ossegg – Dux railway in 1879 . In 1896 the church was consecrated to the Virgin Mary. In the same year the community was assigned to the newly formed Dux district . Ladowitz had grown into a large mining settlement at the end of the 19th century and was given the status of a market town in 1898. On December 25, 1911, Emperor Franz Joseph I elevated Ladowitz to the city. In 1930 Ladowitz reached the highest population in its history with 5,150 inhabitants.
After the Munich agreement was made in 1938 the annexation to the German Reich and the assignment to the district Dux , Region of Usti nad Labem , in the Reich District of Sudetenland . As a result of the emigration of the strong Czech minority, the number of inhabitants fell to 3,379 in 1939. After the end of the Second World War, the German population was expelled and city rights were not renewed in 1948 after the communists came to power. The district of Liptice became independent in 1950. In the course of the dissolution of Okres Duchcov, the municipality of Ledvice came back to Okres Teplice in 1961. In the 1960s, the opening of the large open-cast mine began, to which the Ledvice Church fell victim in 1964. On December 1, 2006, Ledvice received its town charter back. The city's largest employer is the Elektrárna Ledvice power plant , which belongs to the ČEZ .
Demographics
Until 1945 Ladowitz was predominantly settled by German Bohemia , which were expelled.
