royal city in Bohemia . It is located in the Schlaner Plateau, the northwestern part of the Prague Plateau, about 25 km northwest of Prague .
Slaný , formerly also Slané , German Schlan , is a city and formerhistory
The area around Prague has been populated since the Neolithic Age. The emergence of the town of Slaný goes back to a salt spring , at which a settlement can be proven around the year 750 AD. At the beginning of the 13th century a prosperous town developed near this salt spring and was named royal town by Wenceslas II in 1305 . The rulers from the House of the Přemyslids gave the city numerous privileges, as did Emperor Charles IV later . During the Hussite Wars , Slaný was a center of the political-religious movement of the Hussites in Bohemia. The city remained economically prosperous for the next two centuries. After the Battle of White Mountain with the victory of the Catholic League over the Protestant landlords in Bohemia, the assets and property were confiscated by the Austrian emperor's property management. She sold the town in 1620 to Jaroslav Borsita Count von Martinic on Smečno . Schlan had been the seat of the district office of the Rakonitz district since 1788. In 1848 Schlan received its own city administration and developed into an industrial city in the second half of the 19th century. In 2003 Slaný had 15,754 inhabitants.
