history

The first written mention of Borkovice took place on April 1, 1354, when Ulrich IV von Neuhaus sold the village along with Zálší , Mažice , Svinky, Vlastiboř and Sviny to the Rosenbergs . Ulrich II von Rosenberg left part of the village to the Augustinian monastery in Wittingau in 1430 . After the abolition of the monastery in 1785, Prince Johann von Schwarzenberg acquired the monastery buildings and the monastery property in 1787, which he attached to his rule in Wittingau. The schoolhouse was built after 1817. The peat extraction in the moors began in the first half of the 19th century; it was done by hand, the cut peat was dried to peat bricks. In 1840 Borkowitz consisted of 52 houses with 317 inhabitants, twelve of which were subordinate to the Zalschy estate. There was a school in the village. A remote hunter's house ( Jitra ) and a meadow keeper's house belonged to Borkowitz . The parish was Drachow . Until the middle of the 19th century, the village was always subject to the Wittingau estate.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Borkovice / Borkowitz 1850 a municipality in the district administration Trebon / Wittingau and the judicial district Veseli nad Lužnicí . After a new school was built, a poor house was set up in the old schoolhouse in 1897; today it is the seat of the municipal office. During the German occupation between 1943 and 1945 prisoners from the Plan labor education camp worked in the peat cuttings. After the Okres Třeboň was abolished, Borkovice became part of the Okres Soběslav in 1948. Since the middle of the 20th century, peat extraction has been carried out industrially; it was stopped in the late 1970s due to exhaustion of the peat stores. The Okres Soběslav was dissolved again in 1961 and the community assigned to the Okres Tábor. On July 1, 1980, Zálší, Mažice, Klečaty, Sviny and Kundratice were incorporated. After referendums, these villages broke up on November 24, 1990 and formed their own communities.
