History:Strážky (German: Troschig) is a small village located about 6.5 kilometres from Chomutov. The original name of the village was Stráž. After the village was abandoned, the name was changed to Strážky and variously abbreviated by Germanization. In historical sources, the name of the village appears in the following forms: Strasch (1281), Droschkaw (1560), Droschka (1563), Drosskow (1571), Drosska (1606), Droschig (1606), Drožik (1654), Droschig and Troschik (1787) and Droschig or Troschig (1854). Other sources state that the reference from 1281 belongs to the nearby village of Stráž, or that the name of the village is derived as a diminutive of the noun Stráž or from the word dražka, which referred to a cattle trail. The origins of the village are unclear, as it is often confused in the literature with the nearby Stráž. According to Zdena Binterová, the first written mention of the village dates back to 1560, when it is mentioned in the Chomutov town directory. The second possibility, that Strážky is a village mentioned in the donation deed of Chotěbor of Račice from 1281, is mentioned by Martin Volf. An archaeological excavation of the defunct house no. 9 revealed a horizon of medieval buildings dated by ceramic shards to the thirteenth to fifteenth century. Findings from the thirteenth century were also provided by rescue archaeological research during the construction of the I/7 road. It is therefore possible to assume that Strážky was part of the older part of the so-called Křimov district. Strážky belonged to the Chomutov manor. In 1606, there were nine serfs living there, whose duties included road and bridge maintenance, logging, harvesting and hay-making. There was a tavern in the village, which had to take Chomutov beer and was only allowed to sell it at weddings, christenings, church festivals and, since the seventeenth century, at the end of the week. According to the tax ruly from 1654, the village was administered by officials from the town farm in Krásná Lípa. There were eight peasants who owned fourteen cows, eighteen cows, 33 heifers and fifteen goats, and one serf dependent on the village with two cows, two heifers and one goat. Agriculture was the main means of subsistence. Rye was grown mainly, but also barley, oats, flax and other crops. Some people worked in the town forests or in the quarry on Klenovec Hill. Especially in winter, people earned money by making lace and decorative braids at home. After the abolition of the patrimonial administration, the village became part of the municipality of Domina and in 1880 it became an independent municipality. In 1930 there were 159 inhabitants, but then came the displacement of the German population and the resettlement from the hinterland, when the population dropped to 58 inhabitants according to the data from 1950. As a result, this then independent village became part of the municipality of Domina in 1950 and in 1961 part of the municipality of Křimov, where it belongs to the present day. According to the 2011 census, there were 32 inhabitants.
