history

First written records of Rudník date back to 1255 when the Hungarian King Bela IV. The privileges of the nearby Premonstratensian - monastery Jasov renewed, during the Mongol invasion had been lost. A few years earlier, the king had been defeated from the battle of Muhi on his way via Pressburg to Dalmatia. In the annals of the monastery, which was founded around 1170, there is talk of populi de Rodnuk ( people from Rudník ), so that it can be assumed that the village already existed when the monastery was founded.

The original population was Slavic; Hungarian settlers came to the Rudník area later. The name of the village and the village stream of the same name can be traced back to the Slovak word ruda for ore . In addition to panning for gold, iron ore mining was one of the main sources of income in medieval Rudník. In the 14th century mining became more intensive, not least due to the influx of German-speaking colonists who brought new extraction processes with them.

In the sources from 1255 there is also a place called Myhluk , which may have been in what is now the southeastern municipality. Later the name no longer appeared in connection with the existence as a settlement and it is assumed that it is an abandoned village location or a field name. The Myhluk corridor only reappears in 1487, when disputes over horses and undeveloped land between farmers from Mokrance and Veľká Ida were settled.

In 1427 21 taxable farms were shown for Rudník, in 1553 18½ farms, 1570 eight inhabited and three uninhabited farms, in 1696 32 farms and in 1715 there were an additional 14 serf families. Finally, an 1828 census showed 155 houses with 1,162 inhabitants. Agriculture, forestry, charcoal burning and iron ore mining have long been the main sources of income for the residents of Rudník. The ore was brought to the smelters in neighboring Zlatá Idka . Many residents also hired themselves as potters in Jasov or worked in the mills in Medzev .

In the time of the Turkish threat from the 14th to the 17th century, Rudník and the surrounding villages were protected by a rock castle in Jasov.

In 1837 Rudnik was a Slovak village with 1146 Catholics; Until 1882 the village belonged to the Abov County , the parish was part of the Diocese in Rožňava . For the year 1907 780 inhabitants in 149 houses were given. In 1848 70% of the economically active population were woodcutters or charcoal burners and only 30% were employed in agriculture.

With the end of the First World War, the monarchy disappeared and the influx of Hungarians also came to a standstill. On January 9, 1918, the Czechoslovak army marched into Rudník. The names of the nine fallen from Rudník are engraved on a marble plaque at the entrance to the church.

Until the Treaty of Trianon the village belonged to Abaúj-Torna County in the Kingdom of Hungary , from then on Rudník belonged to Czechoslovakia like all places in Abaúj-Torna County . After the First Vienna Arbitration , these communities were again in Hungary from 1938 to 1945, with Rudník and Poproč not coming to Hungary until the beginning of 1939.

Rudník as a health resort

A description of the mineral water extracted in Rudník, written in Latin by the medical officer Henrik Mayer, dates from 1762 . It was called " Thermographic Research of Rudník Gold Mineral Baths ". In addition to gold, the components of water also included red mercury sulfide , iron sulfate and a high concentration of antimony . The study, which is divided into 16 sections, also describes the source rivers of the upper Ida as the area of ​​origin , which gold panners have been looking for for a long time. With regard to medical applications, it is stated that the water is suitable for blood poisoning, leprosy, ulcers, scurvy, syphilis, epilepsy, nervous diseases, stomach cramps and colic. After the modest beginnings of a spa (drinking hall), the well-to-do spa guests relocated their stays to the more easily accessible spa in Štós ( Štós-kúpele ) , which was founded further west in 1883 .
