history

Hořelice

Hořelice was first mentioned in 1052 in the deed of foundation Břetislav I about the church in Stará Boleslav as Zhořelec . In 1228 the village and Dušníky became the property of the monastery of St. George on the Hradschin . Five years later, Pope Gregory IX confirmed . the monastic property. In the 14th century, the monastery of St. Thomas on the Lesser Town of Prague became the owner of Hořelice.

The next owner of the castle Karlštejn , Wilhelm Dubský of Třebomyslice, who left the village to the royal chamber in 1406. Then Hořelice came back to the monastery of St. George. In 1436 the brothers Jeroným, Jan and Bušek von Čečelice received the village Hořelice from Emperor Sigismund for loyal service in the Hussite Wars. Since the establishment of the postal connection from Prague to Regensburg in 1558, this has led through Hořelice. Emperor Rudolf II sold Hořelice in 1607 as hereditary property to Zikmund Měsíček von Výškov. In 1612 the wife of Jan the Elder of Straka , Katharina von Nedabylice, bought the village. After the Battle of the White Mountain , the property was initially confiscated and returned in 1633. The daughters of Katharina von Nedabylice sold Hořelice to Andreas Erle von Erdstein. After that, the Karwinski von Karwin family owned Hořelice until 1730. In the middle of the 18th century, the Hořelice rule expired and was attached to Tachlovice . In 1771 and 1772, large parts of the population of Hořelice died during a pestilence epidemic.

After the abolition of patrimonial Hořelice formed from 1850 a municipality in the Smíchov district. From the beginning of the 20th century the village belonged to the Kladno district. After the end of the Second World War it was assigned to the Okres Praha-západ. On January 1, 1951, Hořelice merged with Dušníky to form the municipality of Rudná.

Dušníky

Dušníky was first mentioned in 1228 when the abbess of the Benedictine monastery Stará Boleslav, Dušníky and Hořelice together with other villages handed over to the monastery of St. George on the Hradschin. Wenceslas II handed the village over to the Prague Cathedral Chapter St. Vitus . In 1378 Dušníky came to the Archdiocese of Prague and in 1410 again to the cathedral chapter. During the Hussite Wars, Dušníky came into secular hands and was only returned to the Prague Cathedral Chapter in 1628. After the village was devastated in the Thirty Years' War, a plague epidemic followed in 1649, claiming numerous victims. In 1753 half the town was destroyed in a major fire.

In the winter of 1799/1800 Russian troops of General Suworow set up their winter camp near Dušníky. Suvorov himself kept his quarters on the estate of Count Kolowrat in Dušníky.

After the abolition of patrimonial Dušník formed from 1850 a municipality in the Smíchov district. After 1860 iron ore mining began on the Vinice hill between Dušníky and Nučice . Around 1880 the place name was changed to Dušníky. From the beginning of the 20th century the village belonged to the Kladno district. 1936 Dušníky was raised to Městys . After the end of the Second World War, the patch was assigned to the Okres Praha-západ. On January 1, 1951, the union of Dušníky with Hořelice to Městys Rudná u Prahy took place.

Rudná

After the merger of Dušníky and Hořelice into one municipality had been decided in 1950, there were various, sometimes bizarre, designs for naming the new municipality. The name "Rudná u Prahy", which is based on the hundred-year history of ore mining on the Vinice and was submitted by local students, was finally adopted.

Rudná has had a coat of arms and a banner since 1995. On October 27, 2000, Rudná was raised to the rank of city.

Attractions

  • Hořelice Castle, the former fortress was converted into a baroque castle around 1700 by the Karwinski von Karvin family. Another renovation took place in 1839.
  • Church of John the Baptist in Hořelice, which has been documented since 1356, was replaced by a new building around 1605. In 1697 the Karwinski von Karwin had the damage caused by the Thirty Years' War removed. In the years 1740 to 1747, at the instigation of the owner of Tachlovice, Grand Duchess Anna Maria of Tuscany, a new building was built, which was completed under her daughter.
  • Marterl, built in 1610
  • Church of St. George in Dušníky, the church built on the Homole hill northeast of the town center of Dušníky was built in 1687–1688 in place of a chapel from the 13th century. After the construction of the railway from Prague to Beraun, which passed below the church, there were constant vibrations from passing trains due to the loose building ground. After strong cracks were found in the baroque church, the church was demolished in 1904. Between 1908 and 1910 a new church was built in the neo-Romanesque style.
