history

The place name is - like many in the area - probably of West Slavic origin. Mühlessen was an old noble seat and in 1219 belonged to Poppo von Milosz, who paid interest to the city council of Eger. The first written mention of the place Milocz comes from the year 1219, when in a document of King Friedrich II for the Waldsassen monastery a Poppo von Milhozt is mentioned.

The old church consecrated to St. Nicholas can be traced back to 1300 ; 1306 it is mentioned as a branch of Frauenreuth. 1322 Mylosen is on the list of places of the pledged Egerland . During the reign of Charles IV , the property was distributed over 24 farms and made subordinate to the city of Eger (until the end of the manors in 1848). In 1429 the Hussites burned the village down. During the Reformation , when the whole of the Egerland was Evangelical-Lutheran, the first village school was built. Ecclesiastically Mühlessen belonged to the parish of Frauenreuth until 1722 , then to Nebanitz . In Mühlessen No. 28, a farm the size of 100 hectares, Johann Georg Sölch (1832–1873), the father of the writer Irmgard Höfer von Feldsturm, was born.

Mühlessen had been its own parish since 1905. From the middle of the 19th century, the place belonged to the judicial district Wildstein and district Eger in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy . After the end of the First World War in 1919, the place fell to the new Czechoslovakia , from 1938 to 1945 it was part of the Sudetengau of the German Empire. Around 1940, a section of a Reichsautobahntrasse was built between Watzgenreuth and Trebendorf , which remained unfinished and whose dam is still clearly visible in the area of ​​the Fleißenbachtal .

In the spring of 1945, at the end of the Second World War, American troops occupied the village, but withdrew in accordance with the treaty in October 1945; the Czechoslovak authorities returned. In the course of the expulsion of the Germans from Czechoslovakia , the exclusively German population of Mühlessen was forced to leave the place and made room for new settlers.
