history

Archaeological finds prove an early settlement of the area. One of the oldest castle towns in Bohemia was located on the Sedlo. Its origins go back to the Hallstatt period around 600 BC. And which went out in the 10th century.

The village was probably founded in the 12th century as part of the inland colonization as a border village on the edge of the uninhabited border forest. Albrechtice was first mentioned in writing in 1143, when Duke Vladislav II donated the farm together with the village of Schüttenhofen to the newly founded Windberg Monastery . As a result, the place came under the rule of Duke Heinrich XIII. from Bavaria. The Windberg Premonstratensians had a Romanesque fortified church built next to the courtyard , which was consecrated on January 5, 1179 by Vladislav's son Adalbert ( Albrecht ) of Bohemia . In the period that followed, a village was built around the courtyard and the church, which was named after Bishop Albrecht as Albrechtsridium or Albrechtsried . Albrechtsried then formed a center for the colonization of the Bohemian Forest. In 1257 Přemysl Otakar II occupied the area around Schüttenhofen, which was then contractually ceded to the Kingdom of Bohemia in 1273 .

In 1785 the Albrechtsried estate consisted of three German-speaking villages: Albrechtsried or Albrechticze with 26 foods, Miltschitz ( Milčice ) with 10 foods and Janowitz ( Janovice ) with 15 foods and two Kottalenhöfen . After the secularization of the Premonstratensian Monastery of Windberg in 1803 , the Albrechtsried parish was administered by the Schüttenhofen parish for a longer period from 1804. The Albrechtsried estate fell to the Imperial and Royal Court Chamber in 1805. Two years later, the entrepreneur Jakob Veith bought the property from a public auction. On May 18, 1808, Veith sold the estate to the Budweiser citizen Joseph Schebesta, who in 1826 still acquired the Podmokl estate and then combined both goods.

In 1838 the combined property Albrechtsried and Podmokl comprised a usable area of 1144 yoke 387 square fathoms ; Of these, 1048 yokes 672 square fathoms were accounted for by the Albrechtsried estate and 95 yokes 1315 square fathoms by the Podmokl estate. 393 German and Czech-speaking people lived in the area, including 16 Jewish families in Podmokl. The main source of income was agriculture. The authorities managed two farms in Albrechtsried and Podmokl. The Albrechtsried estate included the villages of Albrechtsried, Janowitz and Miltschitz as well as a house from Zalusch ( Záluží ); only the village of the same name belonged to the Podmokl estate. The village of Albrechtsried , also called Albrechtsreith or Albrechtice , consisted of 53 houses with 120 inhabitants. The parish church of St. Peter and Paul, the parish and the school were under the patronage of the authorities. In addition, there was a castle in Albrechtsried with the office and apartment of the administrator, a Meierhof, a brewery, a liquor house, a potato brewery and an inn. Albrechtsried was the parish for Miltschitz, Podmokl, Schüttenhofener Podmokl, Schimanau ( Šimanov ), Ostružno , Kadeschitz ( Kadešice ), Kumpatitz ( Humpolec ) and Zalusch. Until the middle of the 19th century, Albrechtsried was the official village for the combined goods Albrechtsried and Podmokl.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Albrechtsried / Albrechtice 1850 with the districts Kumpatitz / Humpolec and Miltschitz / Milčice a municipality in the judicial district Bergreichenstein. From 1868 the village belonged to the district of Schüttenhofen . At the beginning of the 20th century Albrechtec and from 1924 Albrechtice u Sušice was used as a Czech place name. Kumpatitz and Miltschitz broke away from Albrechtsried in the 1920s and formed the Kumpatitz community . In 1930 there were 430 people living in Albrechtsried. In 1938 Albrechtsried fell to the German Reich through the Munich Agreement ; at the same time, the district of Rock ( Rok ) was separated from the municipality of Podmok and the district of Zalusch was separated from the town of Schüttenhofen and reassembled to Albrechtsried. The Czech minority was expelled. In 1939 the community had 408 inhabitants. Until 1945 Albrechtsried belonged to the district of Bergreichenstein and lay directly on the border with the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia . After the Second World War , Albrechtice u Sušice was assigned to Czechoslovakia; the districts of Rok and Záluží were spun off again. Due to the expulsion Albrechtice u Sušice lost most of its German-speaking inhabitants; these were to October 1946 on the transit camp Dlouhá Ves with the railway deported to Germany. Their property was confiscated by Beneš Decree No. 108 and the Catholic Church in Czechoslovakia was expropriated . In 1948, the also only sparsely populated municipality of Humpolec (with Milčice) was incorporated. In the course of the abolition of the Okres Sušice, Albrechtice u Sušice was assigned to the Okres Klatovy in 1960. In 1961 Albrechtice u Sušice was incorporated into Sušice. Since April 30, 1976 the place carries the official name Albrechtice . In 1991 Albrechtice had 61 inhabitants. In 2001, the place consisted of 38 houses in which 53 people lived.
