history

Březhrad was first mentioned in writing in 1227 when the Opatowitz monastery bought the village. The village was on an old path that led from Hradec Králové to Pardubice . In 1228 King Wenceslas I granted the Opatowitz abbot to build a mill on the Stößerbach in the meadows near Lhota called Březhrad . After the monastery was plundered and burned down in 1421 by the Hussites under Diviš Bořek von Miletínek and Aleš von Riesenburg , the town of Hradec Králové took possession of the village. In 1513 the construction of the Opatowitz Canal began downstream and the Opatowitz weir was built. During this time different owners alternated, in 1530 the town of Hradec Králové bought the estate. Because of their participation in the Bohemian class uprising, Emperor Ferdinand I confiscated all of Königgrätzer town goods in 1547 and sold most of the drawn-in villages, including Březhrad to Johann von Pernstein . He sold the village back to the city in 1548. In 1816, Březhrad consisted of 24 houses, an inn and a housekeeper; 131 people lived in the village.

In 1836 the village of Březhrad , located in the Königgrätzer district by the Březhrad pond, consisted of 25 houses in which 153 people lived. In the village there was an inn, a Hegerhaus and a chicory mill. The parish and school location was Opatowitz . Until the middle of the 19th century, Březhrad remained subordinate to the kk lordship of Königgrätz.

After the abolition of patrimonial Březhrad formed from 1849 a municipality in the judicial district of Königgrätz . From 1868 the community belonged to the Königgrätz district . The Březhrad pond on the western edge of the village was drained in the second half of the 19th century. In 1870, the miller František Grégr opened a private school, the continued operation of which was finally prohibited. A new school building was built in 1877, and the one-class village school began teaching the following year. In 1910, 640 people lived in 52 houses in Březhrad. In 1924 the village was electrified. 1949 Březhrad was assigned to the Okres Hradec Králové-okolí; this was lifted in the course of the territorial reform of 1960, since then the village has belonged to Okres Hradec Králové. On January 1, 1976 Březhrad was incorporated into the city of Hradec Králové. On March 3, 1991, the place had 802 inhabitants; in the 2001 census, 950 people lived in the 177 houses in Březhrad. On April 4, 2003, a city bus collided with a passenger train at the open level crossing in the early hours of the morning, and three of the seven passengers on the bus died.

In connection with the intention of the ODS majority in the city council to set up a logistics center for the ThyssenKrupp Ferosta company in Březhrad, in January 2009 some of the residents of Březhrad called for a referendum on the separation of Hradec Králové because of feared impairments. After this was rejected by the city because Březhrad narrowly fell short of the criterion of 1,000 Czech citizens for the formation of new communities, the proponents sued through several instances and were finally defeated before the constitutional court. After the local elections, the political situation in Hradec Králové changed and the plans were no longer supported; in July 2011 the investor withdrew.
