history
Modlany was first mentioned in a document in 1328 as the property of Otto von Bergow on the Geiersburg . There is evidence of a parish church since 1352. After the castle was abandoned in the first half of the 16th, Modlany came under the Soběchleby manor. In 1584 Albrecht Kekulé sold Mariaschein including Soběchleby to Georg Popel von Lobkowicz . Its property was confiscated after the battle on White Mountain . In 1665 the Jesuits von Schönfeld acquired the Soběchleby estate with all its accessories. In 1692 the parish was renewed. After the abolition of the Jesuit order , their property fell to the emperor in 1773. 1779 came Modlany in the course of the transfer of the Soběchleby estate by Maria Theresa to the church in Mariaschein. The church of Modlany became a subsidiary church of Mariaschein in 1786, the villages Zalužany, Věšťany, Drahkov, Srbice, Kvítkov and Suché were assigned to it.
In 1839, the mining of lignite began in Modlan. After the abolition of patrimonial Modlan / Modlany became an independent municipality in the judicial district of Karbitz or in the district of Außenig in 1850 . Due to the increasing mining, the population grew strongly in the last quarter of the 19th century. After the Munich Agreement , the annexation to the German Reich took place in 1938 and parts of the Czech population were expelled into the interior of the country. In 1939, 807 people lived in the community in the Aussig district . After the Second World War, the German population was expelled and the Czechs settled in 1946 . Modlany has been part of Okres Teplice since 1950. In 1960 Věšťany and Suché were incorporated, including its districts Drahkov, Kvítkov and Žichlice.
With the opening of the large open-cast mine Chabařovice, the development of the village stagnated since 1978. There was no construction investment, as the location was in the designated mining area that Modlany was to reach between 2000 and 2005. Between 1988 and 1989 the village of Žichlice was cleared, which had to give way to an overburden dump for the Milada opencast mine. After the Velvet Revolution, the Chabařovice lignite mining stopped in 1997. The Milada opencast mine, which had reached the outskirts of Roudníky, was closed. After the end of the recultivation work, the Chabařovický jezero (Chabařovice Lake) will be built there.
