Strašice (German Straschitz) is a municipality in the Rokycany district in the Pilsner district in the Czech Republic . It is located about 15 km east of the town of Rokycany .

geography

Strašice is surrounded on all sides by the Brdy forests and stretches between the valleys of the Padrýský potok and its tributaries Tisý potok and Veský potok on the northern edge of the former military training area Brdy .

history

Strašice was probably settled between the 8th and 9th centuries. The town and the Strašice Castle were first mentioned in writing in 1349 as the property of the sons of the late Peter I von Rosenberg . In a power struggle with the powerful South Bohemian Rosenbergs , King Charles I had the former royal rule of Strašice burned down in 1352. In the Rosenberg land register from 1379, the place was divided into the parts Dolejší Strašice and Velký Strašice with a mill, a forge, four meat banks and ten fields and meadows, Hořejší Strašice and Malý Strašice with five field hats and the ironworks with two fields distinguished. The von Rosenbergs leased the ironworks from the end of the 14th century. During the Hussite Wars, the rebels captured the castle in 1424. Ulrich II von Rosenberg sold the Strašice and Zbiroh dominions to King Sigismund in 1431 . From 1440 Strašice belonged to the Counts Kolowrat , at the end of the 1470s the Lords of Sternberg and then the Lords of Lobkowitz followed as owners. The latter led the ironworks to an economic boom, which also had an impact on the town. However, the request for elevation to the city was not granted. Because of an affront against Emperor Rudolf II , Georg Popel von Lobkowicz was captured in 1594 and his rule in Strašice was confiscated in favor of the court chamber. The ironworks then became an important imperial ammunition foundry. In 1604, the Walloon iron caster Heinrich Caspar from Sarth ( Jindřich Kašpar ze Sartu ) built one of the first blast furnaces in Bohemia in the Strašice ironworks. As a result of the Thirty Years War, Strašice lost its old privileges and became a village.

To this day, she maintains a tradition of metallurgy .
