history
In the 1990s, grave finds were made in the open-cast mining area, which can be assigned to the Cord Ceramic Culture and Aunjetitz Culture .
The first written mention of the village Strupczyicz , which belongs to the Ervěnice manor, was made in 1352. Two years later, the owner of the manor, Newlas von Zecz, was named as the patron saint of the church in Strupczyicz . The village was divided into two parts in the 14th century. After that, the place was largely attached to the Rothenhaus rule , a small portion remained with Ervěnice. In 1417 Busko von Ervěnice became the owner of most of the village. The lords of Ervěnice, who also owned the Eisenberg castle , united both lords. In 1421 the Smolík from Slavice became the owners of Eisenberg. The village was known as Strupczicz , Trupschitz and Trupssycze over time . On December 13, 1481, Wladislaw II raised Jagiello Trupschitz to a town and gave it a coat of arms and the right to use a green wax seal. Around 1500 both parts of Trupschitz were united under the rule of Rothenhaus . The town subsequently became Protestant.
In the course of the 16th century Trupschitz was again attached to the Ervěnice rule. In the plague epidemic of 1568 190 people died in Trupschitz. The place never recovered from that. After the death of Bohuslav the Elder Ä. Michalovice's inheritance was divided among his four sons. Diwisch von Michalovice tried to force the residents back to Catholicism, but met stubborn resistance from the population. Between 1602 and 1603, a case was pending in Brüx , in which the judge and the residents of Trupschitz successfully sued Diwisch for the appropriation of funds and goods due to the Trupschitz Church. His brother Bohuslav d. J. von Michalovice, who later reunited the entire rule, allowed religious tolerance to prevail again. During the Estates uprising, he was a member of the Directory of Estates and was executed on June 21, 1621 in the Old Town Square in Prague . A one-class school was established around 1620. In 1622 Wilhelm the Elder bought J. Popel von Lobkowicz took over the lordship of Ervěnice and, a year later, Eisenberg. He united his property to the rule of Neundorf-Eisenberg.
The Thirty Years War brought the town to complete decline. The parish went out and the Trupschitzer church became a branch church of Neundorf an der Biele. Since 1629 Trupschitz was called a village again. In 1654 some of the houses were still destroyed or damaged by the war. During this time, the inhabitants lived from breeding sheep and pigs and growing hops. In 1665 a large fire destroyed three farms. In 1770, 20 residents died of typhus . In 1776 a tornado brought the 14th century tower of St. Wenceslas Church and four barns to collapse.
In 1799 a village smithy was established. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Franz and Thekla lignite pits north of Trupschitz were sunk. Until the middle of the 19th century, Trupschitz remained subordinate to the rule of Neundorf-Eisenberg. The current name Strupčice was first used in 1847 .
After the abolition of patrimonial Trupschitz / Strupčice formed a political municipality in the Komotau district from 1850 . At that time 368 people lived in the 68 houses in the village. In 1852 a gendarmerie station was set up. In 1866, 30 residents died of cholera . The church cemetery was closed in 1878 and a new one was created on the eastern edge of the village. By the end of the 19th century, 22 brick factories were built around the village, which also produced roof tiles, drainage, tiles and paving stones and, thanks to their good quality, had a wide sales area. In 1879 the community hired a security guard.
In 1884 a spa opened at a sulfur spring. The Anna-Schacht colliery, which was sunk by the Löwy brothers in 1887, began mining the following year and became the town's largest company in the 20th century. The bathing operation had to be stopped in 1887 because the source had been tapped from the Anna shaft.
In 1887 the Potscherad – Wurzmes local railway started operating. The expansion of the mine on the Anna shaft led to an acute housing shortage in the community in the 1890s. In 1891 the gendarmerie station had to be closed because the community could not provide the gendarme with either living or office space. The problem was not solved until 1897 and from then on two gendarmes were active in Trupschitz. In 1900 a volunteer fire brigade was founded. In 1904 the “Die Schenk” inn was inaugurated; he owned the largest dance hall with a stage in the Chomutov District .
After the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Trupschitz belonged to the German Bohemian Province from November 1918 . The place was occupied by the Czechoslovak army shortly afterwards and in 1919 it was assigned to Czechoslovakia . At that time there were 1238 Germans and 234 Czechs living in the village. In 1923, the mining company Union, based in Prague, acquired the Anna-Schacht colliery. In 1930 Trupschitz had 1,530 inhabitants, a third of whom were Czech. Of the 18 community representatives, the Czech minority made up six and there was one Czech in the five-person council. In the 1930s, 9 brick factories were still in operation.
After the Munich Agreement , the community was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Komotau district until 1945 . Many of the Czechs living here left the place. In 1939 the Anna shaft was closed and in 1941 it was stored . In 1939 Trupschitz only had 1168 inhabitants. During the Second World War, a prisoner-of-war camp with 500 prisoners who had to work in the mining industry was established in the Schenk. Allied bombing raids took place in July 1944 and April 1945 and the damage was minimal. On May 8, 1945, Soviet troops occupied the village.
After the Second World War, the place came back to Czechoslovakia and the German residents were expelled . At the beginning of 1961, Okořín was incorporated. The chapel in Okořín was demolished in the 1960s. Strupčice was one of the model villages of Okres Chomutov in the 1970s . In 1976 Hošnice and Sušany were connected. In 1981, a construction ban was imposed on Strupčice due to the expansion of the lignite mine southwest of Most .
In the following years Strupčice began to decline and some of the inhabitants left the village. In 1984, the Počerady – Vrskmaň railway was closed and the tracks were dismantled because of their location on the edge of the open pit. Only one and a half kilometers of track on the north-western edge of the town remained. In 1989, with the spatial planning resolution for the creation of a replacement settlement for Strupčice in Sušany, the downfall of the village became official. After the Velvet Revolution, plans to expand the mine were rejected and the construction ban in Strupčice was finally lifted. The redevelopment of the village began in the 1990s. In 2001 the Strupčice district consisted of 120 houses and 431 inhabitants. 55 people each lived in Hošnice and Sušany.
