history
Sedlo was first mentioned in a document in 1249. At that time, on an island in the Eger, at the mouth of a brook, there was an advanced fortification which, together with the Robitz Gate, served to protect the castle and town of Elbogen . Wenceslaus IV left these festivals, which belonged to the Falkenau rule , to the city of Elbogen in 1397 as permanent property. In the course of the 15th century the festivities went out.
The parish village Sedlo became subordinate to Hartenberg Castle in 1414 and later came under the rule of Falkenau. After the establishment of the village of Nove Sedlo , Sedlo was called Staré Sedlo from 1454 . The lignite deposit had been known since the middle of the 16th century, but coal was of no importance as a fuel at that time. The mineral works "Holy Trinity" can be proven since 1573 and is the oldest in the Falkenau area. Alum and iron vitriol were produced in the Trinity.
The Vogeleis Festival was first named in 1644. It was located across from Altsattl on the left bank of the Eger on the land registry border with Neusattl. It is believed that this fortress was only built during the Thirty Years War as the vanguard of Elbogen Castle. After the war, the fortress was already extinguished and the town's Vogeleishof was built in its place.
The village of Altsattl consisted of around 50 houses in 1750. The mineral works factor, Karl Josef Kluge, was granted the right to mine coal and minerals in 1760. The support brotherhood for the Altsattler Mineralwerk, founded in 1777, provides social security for the miners and grants its members grants for medical treatment. In 1788 the parish Altsattl was downgraded to a locality. The mineral works built a wooden bridge over the Eger in 1813 in order to be able to carry out the coal deliveries even if the ford became impassable during floods. In 1826 the mineral works was expanded to include an alum refinery and vitriol boiler built directly on the Eger. Johann David Starck started the production of green vitriol in 1829. In 1830 the road from Karlsbad to Eger was built to replace the old post road between Erfurt and Prague . With the expansion of lignite mining, the Vogeleishof went out in the middle of the 19th century.
After the abolition of patrimonial Altsattl / Staré Sedlo formed a community in the Falkenau district from 1850 . In 1854 a new rectory was built. On September 4, 1861, a major fire destroyed 52 houses as well as the church and the rectory. In 1880 the village consisted of 186 houses and had 1574 inhabitants. In Altsattl there was a three-class school, a glassworks, a lignite mine and an alum slate mine. In 1888 the mineral works stopped producing sulfur. In 1896 the production of alum and iron vitriol also ended. At the beginning of the 20th century, two brickworks were built. In 1921 the community came to the Elbogen / Loket district. In the mid-1930s, relations between Czechs and Germans in the village began to cool. In 1930 the community had 1909 inhabitants, in 1939 there were only 1813 after the evacuation of the Czechs. After the Munich Agreement , the Alt Sattl community was incorporated into the German Empire and until 1945 belonged to the Elbogen district . After the end of the Second World War, the place came back to Czechoslovakia; the expulsion of the Germans began. Since 1950 the community belongs to Okres Sokolov.
