history
The beginnings of settlement in the area probably go back to the end of the 10th century. Between the 12th and 13th centuries, when silver was found in the area, mountain cries began, followed by settlement by Bavarian colonists. The first written mention of the village of Stöcken took place in 1347. The existence of a parish church has been documented since 1372. In 1436 Nikolaus Trčka von Lípa acquired the sticks rule. Under the Trčka von Lípa lords, who owned sticks until 1596, the place was given market rights, the collection of customs and tolls, and free reversal. During their reign, in 1467, stepsz and Deutsch Schützendorf were attached to Stöcken. Jan the Elder Trčka of Lípa sold stepsz and Dobrenz to the city of Iglau in 1536. Since 1572 the town of Stöcken has held the seal with the Trčka coat of arms. In 1596 the city of Iglau also acquired Stöcken and Deutsch Schützendorf. A manor house has been occupied since 1625. The Thirty Years War brought the downfall of Stöcken. After the end of the war the town consisted of the manor house and forty desolate properties. Subsequently, the craft developed and blacksmiths, wheelwright, stocking knitters, weavers and tanners emerged. The construction of the Kaiserstrasse from Prague to Vienna in 1760 led to a great economic boom. Under the Hohenzollern family, Stöcken Castle became an administrative seat from 1760. Emperor Joseph II raised Stöcken to a minority in 1766. At the beginning of the 19th century, classicist town houses were built on the market. Two days after the Battle of Austerlitz , on December 4th and 5th, 1805, around 1,600 French and Bavarian soldiers met between Stöcken and Wonau, who had not reached the battlefield in time.
After the abolition of patrimonial, Stecken formed a market town in the Deutschbrod district from 1850 with the districts of Muckenbrunn / Mukubruny and Bosowitz / Pozovice and became the seat of a district court. The place belonged to the Iglauer language island and was mostly German populated. From 1880, the commemoration of the National Revival was very well received among the Czech minority. In 1904 the local railway Polna-Stecken – Polna Stadt started operations; However, their route did not lead over Stecken, but led from Deutsch Schützendorf, five kilometers southeast, through the valley of the Goldbach to the north. In 1910 Stecken / Štoky had 1250 inhabitants, 161 of whom were Czech. After the establishment of Czechoslovakia, a Czech minority school was established in 1919. The German population was expelled after the Second World War . In 1948 the status of Městys was not renewed and Štoky sank to the village. In 1968 the inhabitants of Štoky protested against the occupation of the ČSSR by the Warsaw Pact states. 1974 Smilov was incorporated. In 1976 Petrovice, Okrouhlička and Skřivánek were added; the latter broke up again in 1990. Since October 10, 2006 Štoky has again the status of a Městys.
