history

The village probably originated in the 13th century. Proseczne or Proseczna was first mentioned in writing in 1437. The place name is derived from prosekat (cut out). In 1522 the place was called Proseczny , 1578 Proschwietz , 1597 Proschwitz , 1615 Prosecznau and 1659 Proschwicz . In 1834 Proschwitz / Prosswice consisted of 102 houses, including a school and a mill, in which 650 people lived. The parish was in Arnau . Home weaving was an essential sideline. Until the middle of the 19th century, the village remained subject to the Arnau lordship.

After the abolition of patrimonial Proschwitz / Prosečné formed from 1850 a municipality in the judicial district of Arnau or in the Hohenelbe district . With the advent of industrialization, home weaving died out in the 19th century. Some of the residents earned their living by wage labor in the local flax yarn spinning mill, others in Arnau. The railway between Pelsdorf and Trautenau was built between 1868 and 1869 and started operating in 1870. A train station was built in the Elbe valley below the village. Between 1898 and 1904 a church was built in the center of the village. In 1930 the community had 907 inhabitants, in 1939 there were 933. As a result of the Munich Agreement , Proschwitz was annexed to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Hohenelbe district until 1945 . After the Second World War, the place came back to Czechoslovakia and the German population was expelled. After the Okres Vrchlabí was abolished, Prosečné was assigned to the Okres Trutnov at the beginning of 1961.

Today there is a 9-hole golf course in Prosečné.
