history

The village was first mentioned in writing in 1334 as the property of Wilhelm von Strakonitz . He sold the reign of Bavorov in 1351 to the brothers Peter , Jobst , Johann and Ulrich von Rosenberg , who had the Helfenburg built as the new manor in 1355 . Peter Wok von Rosenberg joined the villages of Žernovice, Hracholusky, Vitějovice and Svojnice to the Libějovice rule at the end of the 16th century . With his death in 1611 the Rosenbergs died out in the male line. Johann Georg von Schwanberg inherited his possessions . His son Peter von Schwanberg was one of the leaders of the rebels during the class uprising of 1618 . After the Battle of the White Mountain , his property was confiscated and in 1620 the Emperor Ferdinand II gave it to the military leader Karl von Buquoy for faithful service. The lordship remained in the possession of the Count Longueval de Buquoy until the beginning of the 19th century . In 1801 Johann Joseph von Buquoy sold the property to Prince Joseph II zu Schwarzenberg , whom his son Johann Adolf II zu Schwarzenberg inherited in 1833. The domain administrator and later official and economic director of the rule Franz Horsky built up the rule systematically from 1829 onwards to an agricultural model property of the imperial and royal monarchy. In 1840 Černowitz with Kobyli Hora consisted of 44 houses with 354 inhabitants. The one-layer Čihadlo, consisting of two houses, and an emphyteutized mill on the Goldbach were on the other side . The parish was Prachatitz . Until the middle of the 19th century, the village was always subject to the allodial rule Libiegitz, including the Čichtitz estate.

After the abolition of patrimonial Žernovice formed from 1850 with the district Dubovice a municipality in the district administration Prachatice and the judicial district Netolice . In 1886 the place was subordinated to the district court in neighboring Prachatice. The volunteer fire brigade was formed in 1904. After Prachatice had to be ceded to the German Reich in 1938 as a result of the Munich Agreement , Žernovice remained in Czechoslovakia and belonged to the Písek district and the judicial district of Netolice between 1938 and 1945. In early May 1945, an American plane crashed on Kobylí hora, killing the pilot. After the end of the Second World War, the community came back to Okres Prachatice. In 1961 it was incorporated into Nebahovy . After a referendum, Žernovice broke away from Nebahovy on November 24, 1990 and formed its own municipality. On May 1, 1991 Dubovice was umgemeindet from Nebahovy to Žernovice.
