history

The first written mention of the village Wrskmani , which belonged to the Rothenhaus lordship, was made in 1417 in the country table as an accessory for the town of Jirkov . During the 15th and 16th centuries, the place was called Wrskmani , Buczmany , Burczmany and Wurczmes . When the Rothenhaus rule was divided, Wurczmes and Zaječice belonged to Nicolaus Lang von Langenhart from 1578. He was followed by his son Johann Friedrich Lang von Langenhart and then Kaspar the Elder. Ä. von Bellwitz and Nostitz . In 1621 Ladislaus Julius Kurzbach von Trachenberg and Militsch bought the goods in Worczmany . He got into debt so that his sons finally sold Worczmany to the Neundorf- Eisenberg estate. In Worczmany is also one was Freigut that always reign Rothenhaus belonged and was leased inherited over the years to various owners. The most important tenants of the estate were the Herr family, who were strongly committed to the common good of the village and donated the chapel. At that time, Wurzmes was dominated by agriculture, with fruit and vegetable growing dominant.

After the abolition of patrimonial, Wurzmes / Vrskmany formed a political municipality in the judicial district of Görkau from 1850 . At this time began in the vicinity of the place of the brown coal mining. There were also two brickworks in the corridors of the village. Between 1868 and 1901, Wurzmes was incorporated into Görkau and then became independent again. In 1870 the village received a rail connection through the Aussig-Komotau railway. In the 1870s near Sadschitz, a small bath was built at the Karolinenbrunnen, two iron and sulfur-containing springs. In 1887, the Potscherad – Wurzmes local line started operating and a second station was built in Wurzmes. Until a branch of the Neundorf School was set up in Wurzmes in 1899, the children of the village attended the Neundorf School. In 1904 the school got its own school house and was also attended by the children of the neighboring towns. In 1924 the Czech name of the village changed to Vrskmaň . In 1926 the two railway lines were connected and the separate local railway station was omitted. In 1930 Pahlet and Sadschitz were incorporated, at that time 501 people lived in the community of Wurzmes. After the Munich Agreement , the community was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Komotau district until 1945 . Most of the Czechs living here left the place. In 1939 Wurzmes had only 398 inhabitants. During the Second World War, a prisoner-of-war camp for British and Russians who had to work in mining was set up at the Bettyschacht colliery. In 1944, an Allied bombing raid damaged 18 residential buildings and the station keeper's house. 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 . The repopulation took place with Czechs from the inland. From 1947 Pohlody and Zaječice formed their own communities.

At the beginning of 1961, Pohlody, Kyjice (with Újezd) and Zaječice were incorporated. In 1972 the municipality of Nové Sedlo nad Bílinou was dissolved and its corridors connected to Vrskmaň. In 1975 the liquidation of Nové Sedlo was completed. As a replacement for the Dřínov reservoir drained onto the lake meadows by the Důl Československé armády opencast mine, the Zaječice reservoir was built between 1973 and 1976 at the former Zaječice spa . Between 1978 and 1981 the Újezd reservoir was built north of it , to which the villages of Újezd and Kyjice had to give way. At the same time, the evacuation of the village of Pohlody began, which, like Kyjice, had been dissolved since 1979. The Vrskmaň orchards were demolished in 1976 and the school was demolished in the same year. The Běta Colliery ( Betty Shaft ) was closed in 1977. The district of Újezd no longer exists since 1980. In 1983 the Ervěnický koridor dam was filled in by the opencast mine to lay the rail and road connections and the Bílina . The new route of the Ústí nad Labem – Chomutov railway went into operation in 1984 and the Počerady – Vrskmaň connection was discontinued. As a replacement for the loss of the station, the Kyjice station was built for Vrskmaň on Ervěnický koridor in the open. Since the distance from Vrskmaň to Jirkov is only slightly longer, it was not accepted by the population. The tracks of the branch line between Okořín and Vrskmaň were dismantled because of their location on the edge of the open pit. The former main line was relocated to a connecting line for the Vrskmaň coal-fired power station. After the handicraft businesses were closed in the 1980s, the residents felt that the village was also intended for demolition. The place has been redeveloped since 1990.
