history

Branice was founded as a settlement on Bechyněer Steig in the middle of the 13th century, according to archaeological finds dating back to between 1240 and 1260 . According to tradition, Branice belonged to the Premonstratensian Monastery of Mühlhausen in 1306 during the time of Abbot Heinrich . The monastery was destroyed by the Hussites in 1420 , and all documents were lost. Then the Klingenberg burgrave Jan Hájek von Hodětín struck the orphaned monastery property of the royal rule Klingenberg. When the Hussites besieged Klingenberg Castle in 1430, King Sigismund pledged the rule to Ulrich II von Rosenberg , because he feared that his burgrave Kunata Kapléř would soon overflow to the rebels. In 1473 Heinrich V von Rosenberg left a quarter of the property of the House of Rosenberg , including the Klingenberg pledge, to his cousin Bohuslav V von Schwanberg . The first documentary evidence of Branice dates back to 1488. In 1575, Christoph von Schwanberg bought the lords of Klingenberg and Mühlhausen from the court chamber on Worlik and connected them with Worlik. After the Battle of the White Mountain , the estate of Peter von Schwanberg was confiscated and in 1621 the Eggenberg owners of the estate. After the male line of Eggenberg died out in 1717, the Schwarzenberg family inherited their property. Until 1736 Branice was the seat of a mayor who also exercised the lower jurisdiction in Jetětice , Jickovice , Kučeř , Květov , Osek , Rukáveč, Stehlovice , Velká, and Vusí. In 1840 Branitz consisted of 21 houses with 218 inhabitants. The pastor was Bernarditz . Until the middle of the 19th century, the village always remained subordinate as part of the rule of Klingenberg to the Fideikommissherrschaft Worlik, including the allodial goods Zalužan, Zbenitz and Bukowan.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Branice / Branitz from 1850, a municipality in the district and in the judicial district Milevsko. After the Okres Milevsko was abolished, Branice was assigned to the Okres Písek in late 1960 . In 1961 Křižanov and Okrouhlá were incorporated . Both villages broke up again in 1990 and 1993 and formed their own community.
