history

The first written mention of Bratkovice came in 1394 in the course of a dispute between the episcopal burgrave of Příbram , Johann von Hylpulczhausen, and the owner of the Drahlín estate , chaplain Theodorik from Martha Altar of St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague . A mill with two meadows below the village was named, which was assigned to the latter estate when the Obecnice and Drahlín goods were divided . Since the late Middle Ages, Bratkovice has been a center of iron ore mining and iron processing, a blast furnace and several iron hammers were operated on Litavka. In the 15th century the village became part of the Hluboš Manor . At the beginning of the 16th century, Jan Karel von Svárov acquired the Hluboš estate with Drahlín, Sádek , Bratkovice and Občov . His son Karel exchanged Hluboš with all accessories on May 5, 1542 with Petr Vamberský von Rohatec for the Otmíče estate with Libomyšl and Bavoryně as well as 400 Schock Bohemian groschen. Petr Vamberský's descendants sold the estate to Bedřich Hořčice von Prostý in 1475. From this, Wenzel Sturm von Hirschfeld acquired the Hluboš estate, which has belonged to the Vladiken Wtelensky von Wtelno since the end of the 16th century .

After the Battle of the White Mountain , the Hlubosch estate with the Sadek farm was confiscated from the property of Karl Wtelensky von Wtelno and sold to Wenzel Bechinie von Lazan in 1623 . In 1629 Magdalena Bechinie von Olbramovice bought the Hlubosch manor. In 1636 she bequeathed half of it to her third husband Jan Humprecht von Račín and their children. As a result of the Thirty Years' War, the Hlubosch estate lay down; the Bradkowitz ironworks no longer worked either. Around 1636, the Lords of Račín brought German smelters and hammer workers into the country in order to restart the ironworks because they could not find any specialists in Bohemia. Another hut was built near Hlubosch. In the vicinity of the two huts, two new settlement sites were created in the stately forests: Teutsch-Pasek for the employees of the Bradkowitz hut and Dominikal-Pasek for those of the new Hluboscher hut. The new settlers remained free people who only did their work for a fee; only their children, born in the domain of rulership, became subjects subject to robots.

In 1675, Christoph Humprecht von Račín divided the rule of Hlubosch into the two estates of Hlubosch as well as Bratkovice and Sádek. In 1705, Messrs. Bechinie von Lazan acquired both shares of the rule and reunited them. Bradkowitz belonged to the Podbrder district until 1714, after which the village became part of the Berauner district . In 1741 Johann Anton Hochberg von Hennersdorf took over the Hlubosch and Pitschin estates , with Hlubosch being the property of his wife Marie Bechinie von Lazan. In the 1770s, the Counts Hochberg von Hennersdorf Hlubosch and Pitschin merged into one rule Hlubosch. With imperial approval, Anton Hochberg von Hennersdorf let the over-indebted rule play off in a lottery on November 30, 1816 . The big ticket was drawn by a Viennese court saddler who immediately sold the rule to Otto Victor I von Schönburg-Waldenburg . In 1826 Prince Otto Victor sold the rule to his sister-in-law Louise Princess zu Schönburg-Hartenstein , née von Schwarzenberg , the wife of his brother Eduard. In 1835 Princess Louise sold the Hlubosch rule for 220,000 guilders to the former governor of the Prussian Principality of Neuchâtel , Ludwig von Pourtalès .

In 1846 Bradkowitz consisted of 25 houses with 201 inhabitants. Some of the residents worked as nail smiths . In Bradkowitz there was an official blast furnace, but it was not in use, two bar and claw hammers , an inn and a three-speed mill with barley and board saw. Aside from that, there was a laundry service. The parish was Hlubosch. Bradkowitz remained subject to the rule of Hlubosch until the middle of the 19th century .

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Bradkovice / Brad Kowitz 1850 a district of the municipality Hluboš in the judicial district Příbram. From 1868 Bradkovice belonged to the Příbram district . In 1872 the von Pourtalès family sold the Hluboš manor to Prince Karl zu Oettingen-Wallerstein . Bradkovice broke away from Hluboš at the end of the 19th century and formed its own municipality. In 1921 the municipality name was changed to Bratkovice . The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1925. In 1932 there were 222 people in Bratkovice. In 1960 the significantly larger neighboring village Dominikální Paseky was incorporated. In 1991, 167 people lived in Dominikální Paseky, compared to 88 in the Bratkovice district. In the 2001 census, 41 houses and 104 inhabitants were counted in the Bratkovice district, while 165 people lived in the 100 houses in the Dominikální Paseky district at the same time. Today only 88 of the 141 houses in the community are permanently inhabited. At the end of 2015, in the course of the closure of the Brdy military training area, the cadastral district of Bratkovice v Brdech came to the municipality.
