history
The first written mention of Vroutek comes from the year 1227 when Kojata IV. Von Hrabischitz donated the place to the Zderaz monastery . In the 14th century Vroutek was the center of a church property and probably received its town charter during this time. In 1393 the Benedictine monastery Porta Apostolorum became the owner of Vroutek. After the destruction of the monastery by the Hussites in 1420, Jakoubek z Vřesovic occupied Vroutek, which was also claimed by the city of Žatec . In 1437 Alesch von Schönburg acquired Vroutek. The feud with the city of Saaz was finally ended in 1441 with the razing of the Vroutek fortress by the Saaz people.
Since 1510 Vroutek was owned by the lords of Údrče and in 1535 Sebastian von Weitmühl acquired part of the town. From 1548 Vroutek belonged to Johann Waldemar von Lobkowitz and from 1588 Radslav Vchynský von Vchynic , who sold it to Vladislav von Hrobschitz a year later . In 1599 the city burned down. Until 1628 Vroutek belonged to the Hrobschitzers and in 1631 Hermann Czernin von Chudenitz on Petersburg became the new owner. During the Thirty Years War, Vroutek was devastated by Swedish troops in 1645. To repopulate the city, the Czernin von Chudenitz brought German settlers into the country. Older Germanized forms of the place name are Rudik , Rutth , Wratek , Prautek , Wrutek and Wrautek .
The first school was built in 1721 and in the middle of the 18th century a brewery and two mills were operated in Rudig. In 1802 Rudig became a garrison town. In 1826 Rudig had 910 inhabitants. Until the end of the patrimonial rule in 1848, Rudig belonged to the Petersburg rule and then became an independent city. In 1873 the first train ran through Rudig on the route from Prague to Dux . In 1921, 1806 people lived in the city, 95% of whom were Germans. In 1922 a Czech minority school was established. In 1930 the city had 2,148 inhabitants and in 1950 there were 1,231.
After the Munich Agreement , the annexation of the city to the Rudig occurred German Reich as part of the district Podersam , Region of Eger , in the Reich District of Sudetenland .
After the Second World War, the German population was expelled and Volhynian Czechs were settled.
