history

Cítoliby was probably laid out in the last quarter of the 13th century as a regular square village with around 25 farmsteads around an almost square square measuring 180 × 175 meters on a side. The new village was probably built at the instigation of the royal chamber in the immediate vicinity of the royal city of Louny , which was previously founded by Přemysl Ottokar II , and to whose morphing it belonged. German citizens from Laun were among the settlers.

The first written mention of the place took place on April 22, 1325, when King John of Luxembourg confirmed the citizens of Laun that they owned Czethleub . The place name is of Czech origin and is probably derived from the nickname of a locator who liked small coins ( cěta ). Since the second half of the 14th century, the village was known as Czietolib or Czetlib . The first news about the church comes from the year 1379. Thimo d. J. von Colditz ( Těma z Koldic ; † 1383) in the middle of the 14th century. She should be dedicated to St. Gallus and stood south of the castle; However, this is controversial and today it is assumed that it is confused with the Church of St. Gallus in Brloh. The lords of Colditz, however, were not the owners of the entire village, a part of Cítoliby still belonged to a group of Launer citizens. On April 25, 1383, Thimo d. J. von Colditz named as church patron. The next owner of most of the village was Thimos' son Albrecht von Kolditz . After the outbreak of the Hussite wars that fought as governor of the Silesian Erbfürstentümer Jawor-Świdnica and Wrocław the Hussites , while the city Louny a center of Calixtins was. However, the Launer Hussites never made a single attempt to occupy the Cítoliby chamber property. In the spring of 1420, some of the town's residents joined the radical Hussites who gathered on the Táborec near Smolnice in support of the city of Prague , which was besieged by the Catholics . The last mention of the Lords of Kolditz as landlords comes from the time of the Hussite Wars.

In 1457 Clemens von Brloch ( Kliment z Brloha ) had his seat in Cítoliby; this was also the first mention of a festival in the place. Nothing is known about the circumstances under which Cítoliby left the chamber holdings . From 1462 Bavor von Třebívlice was the owner of the fortress. Between 1464 and 1469 the citizens of Laun levied a toll on their share. From 1519 Prokop Kuneš von Lukovec had his seat in Cítoliby, in 1534 his son Mikuláš called Kohoutek inherited the property. Against Mikuláš Kuneš of Lukovec were pending processes for manslaughter, slander and attempted murder, but where he remained unpunished and only a warning by King I. Ferdinand received. Mikuláš Kuneš von Lukovec died in 1543, in the subsequent inheritance dispute over the claims between his widow, daughter and six underage sons, a detailed description of the property was given in the country table . The entire village, the farmyard, the tavern and the church patronage are listed - but not the festivals. The owners of the property had already acquired the share of the Launer citizens at that time, and there was no longer any mention of toll rights.

Mikuláš sons later bought the surrounding estates Chlumčany, Vlčí, Brodec, Líšťany and Břínkov. The Cítoliby fortress became the seat of his eldest son Jan Kuneš from Lukovec, who had the manorial brewery and probably also fish ponds built. After his death in 1562, the Cítoliby manor with the festival, manor, brewery, tavern, meadows, hop, fruit and saffron gardens, two ponds, two vineyards and the three woods Dubovka, Rasoch and Velká Kostelka were divided up between his siblings . The festival and the brewery fell to his eldest brother Václav Kuneš from Lukovec, who also gradually bought his siblings' shares. In 1569 he sold the estate, to which a malt house and the new tavern had been added, to Adam Hruška von Březno. By purchasing neighboring goods, Adam Hruška expanded the Cítoliby estate into one of the most important manors in the Laun area, which was only surpassed in size by Líčkov and Nový Hrad . He had a new representative Renaissance castle built next to the old fortress of the lords of Lukovec, which he converted into a farm building. In 1573 he struck the Selmice manor with the fortress, a large farmyard, two mills, the villages of Zbrašín, Hořany and a portion of Líšťany to his rule Cítoliby. In 1580 he extended the rule to the village and the fortress Brodec as well as the villages Břínkov and Vlčí. In March 1581 his three sons Jan, Adam and Karel inherited the rule. After a period of communal management, the brothers eventually divided the rule. In 1588 large parts of Cítoliby burned down. After Adam's death in 1600 the estates were redistributed among his brothers, with Karel receiving Cítoliby and Blšany and Jan Hruška Selmice, Brodec and Peruc . In 1602 another large fire destroyed several farms in Cítoliby. In 1605 Karel Hruška acquired the Chlumčany estate with a farm and a mill and connected it to Cítoliby. After the parish died out, it was administered by the Dolní Ročov Monastery . Karel Hruška had a rectory built in Cítoliby in 1605, which was occupied by a cantor, who also acted as rector and taught the local children. At the beginning of the 17th century, Cítoliby had hardly changed in its expansion, the place still consisted of 25 farms as at the time of its foundation. After Karel Hruška died young on November 17, 1609, his property fell to his underage son Johann Adam, who was under the tutelage of his uncle Jan Hruška. In 1610 Jan Hruška had a fatal accident on the way back from a visit to Stephan von Sternberg at Postelberg Castle . The entire family estate fell to Jan's son Adam Heinrich, who in addition to his estates Brodec, Smilovice , Selmice, Peruc and the Toužetín estate, which his father bought in 1606, also managed the Cítoliby, Blšany, Líšťany and Chlumčany estates belonging to his nephew Johann Adam in trust. The German form of the name Zittolieb was created in the 17th century .

After the Battle of White Mountain in 1623, Adam Heinrich Hruška was punished for his participation in the class uprising of 1618 with the loss of a third of his property. The Confiscation Commission made a serious error; In addition to the rule Selmice with Zbrašín, Hořany and Líšťany belonging to Adam Heinrich Hruška, the Cítoliby rule, which he administered only for his nephew, was confiscated and sold in 1623 by the court chamber to the imperial officer Adam von Herbersdorf . In 1624, Herbersdorf reinstated a Catholic clergyman in Zittolieb, Pastor Leitner . At the same time he pushed through the re-Catholicization with iron severity and thus triggered a peasant revolt in 1626. As a result of the religious mandate of 1627, Adam Heinrich Hruška decided to stay in Bohemia and converted to Catholicism. After reaching the age of majority, Johann Adam Hruška left the rule to which he was entitled Cítoliby with Blšany and shares of Chlumčany and Smilovice to his former guardian Adam Heinrich Hruška. In 1629 Adam Heinrich Hruška was appointed captain of the Saaz district . After the unlawful confiscation order over the rule Cítoliby was repealed due to his intervention in 1630 by the Bohemian governor Baltasar of Marradas , Johann Adam Hruška disputed the ownership of the rule Cítoliby again and wanted it to Adam the Elder. Selling J. Hozlauer von Hozlau . Adam Heinrich Hruška died in the same year without male descendants; the confiscation commission confirmed the assignment and awarded the rule to his three daughters. Dorothea Barbara Hruška took over the administration of the rulership and shortly afterwards married the imperial colonel Johann Ulrich Bissinger von Bissingen . After her two sisters came of age, the rule was divided in 1635, with Dorothea Barbara managing all three shares.

Because of its location on the road from Rakonitz to Laun, the village was occupied and plundered several times by troops passing through during the Thirty Years' War. Electoral Saxon troops invaded Zittolieb in 1631 and the Swedes in 1634, 1639, 1643 and from 1645 to 1648 ; the village suffered the greatest damage during the Swedish invasion from 1639 to 1640. As a result of the war, the Hruška sisters got into financial hardship and until 1637 had to sell the Blšany and Smilovice estates . Due to the continuing economic misery and regular looting and devastation, Dorothea Barbara von Bissingen broke up in the administration of the rule at the beginning of the 1640s, went mad and was finally incapacitated and placed under the tutelage of her husband.

Under the contactor from Leipoldsheim

On April 20, 1651 Johann Ulrich von Bissingen sold the heavily indebted Zittolieb rule to Colonel Ernst von Schützen and his wife Margarethe Blandina, who administered the rule for her husband in the army. In August 1652 Margarethe Blandina von Schützen bought the neighboring Brdloch estate, which had survived the war without major damage. In the berní rula of 1654, twelve of the 25 farmsteads owned by Zittolieb , including the tavern, are described as desolate. There were four hop farmers in the village and the only craftsman was a tailor. The church was ruined, the parish was administered by the Laun deanery. Margarethe Blandina had a school with an apartment for the teacher built in Zittolieb in 1659 and also had the church restored. The reoccupation of the parish failed due to the lack of clergy. In the following year the administration of the parish was transferred to the Rotschower Augustinians . Around 1660, Margarethe Blandina von Schützen had a pheasantry built east of the village. Ernst von Schützen fell during the Turkish Wars together with his three brothers on September 9, 1661 in the Battle of Komorn . Heir to the rule was his son Ernst Gottfried ( Arnošt Bohumír ), who had also embarked on a military career and was elevated to the baron status in 1665 with the title Schütz von Leipoldsheim . The management of the property remained in the hands of his mother, who in 1664 married the owner of the Diwitz estate, sub-marshal Jan van der Croon ( Jan de la Cron ). At the end of April 1664, Margarethe Blandina bought the Brodec estate and added it to Zittolieb . After Zittolieb was spared the great plague epidemic in the Launer area in 1680, Margarethe Blandina had a plague column erected in front of the castle in the same year. In the following year she bought the Diwitz rule with the villages of Winařitz, Solopisk, Kozeged, Ober-Rotschow, Markwaretz, Konotop and Třebotz and united them with Zittolieb . In the 1680s, Margarethe Blandina had a palace garden laid out with ornamental plants. In the second half of the 17th century the village had about 300 inhabitants. After the death of Margarethe Blandina van der Croon in 1687, her first-married son Ernst Gottfried Schütz von Leipoldsheim became the main heir, a small portion went to her daughter Marie. In the same year Ernst Gottfried's wife Susanna Maria von Kuefstein , a daughter of Johann Ludwig von Kuefstein, died . As a result, Ernst Gottfried Schütz von Leipoldsheim inherited most of the Benatek reign that his wife had inherited from her first marriage to Johann von Werth , and by 1694 he also bought the last shares of her co-heirs. After his military career, he entered the civil service and worked a. a. as captain of the Saatzer circle. In 1698 a great fire destroyed almost the entire village. After Zittolieb was again spared from a plague epidemic in 1713, the new Trinity Column was erected. A new church was built between 1713 and 1717. Ernst Gottfried Schütz von Leipoldsheim died in 1715; previously he had appointed his three-year-old grandson Franz Ernst, who died in the same year, as heir to the Zittolieb with Diwitz estate. As a result, Ernst Gottfried's son, Ernst Jaroslaw Schütz von Leipoldsheim, became the sole heir of the Benatek and Zittolieb lords. He died in 1720 without heirs, and with him the Schütz von Leipoldsheim family died out. Ernst Jaroslaw Schütz had previously appointed his childhood friend, the captain of the Leitmeritz district, Karl Daniel Pachta von Rayhofen, and Benatek Ignaz Siegmund von Klenau and Janowitz as heir for the rule of Zittolieb and Diwitz .

Among the Pachta von Rayhofen

Karl Daniel Pachta von Rayhofen, who was raised to the rank of count in 1721, decreed the renewal of the parish in Zittolieb in his will in 1729 and established a parish foundation, which received an archiepiscopal confirmation in 1730. He appointed his nephew Ernst Karl Pachta (1718–1803), who was under the tutelage of his father Johann Joachim Pachta until he came of age, as heir to the rule of Zittolieb. Johann Joachim Pachta von Rayhofen had a greenhouse built in the palace garden in 1731. In 1739 a major fire destroyed five houses in the village. During the Austrian War of Succession , the captain of the Bunzlau district, Johann Joachim Pachta, was taken hostage by the French army and died on October 26, 1742 during the siege of Prague as a result of the poor prison conditions. In the same year Ernst Karl Pachta came of age and took over the dominions Zittolieb with Diwitz as well as Hodietitz and Tloskau. In 1750 Ernst Karl's wife Josephine von Sporck died after a long illness. In the Theresian cadastre of 1751, 22 properties subject to tax are listed for Zittolieb, not including landless chalets or the houses of the lordly officials. The main source of income for the population was the cultivation and trade of grain. There were also a few craftsmen in the village, as well as a Jewish burner who also ran a grocer's shop and traded canvas and string.

During the Seven Years' War , the Zittolieb rule was assured safe conduct against looting by troops of the Prussian Field Marshal James Keith on November 29, 1757 in return for the payment of 40 ducats and 165 gulden as well as benefits in kind. Two years later the Prussian military passed through the town again; they took nine Croatian soldiers who had been hiding in Zittolieb with them and shot numerous birds in the pheasantry. Further troop movements took place in 1760 and 1762. In 1763 the parish Zittolieb left the administration by the Rotschow Augustinians and received its own pastor again. After the bad harvests of 1770 and 1771, a famine broke out in the area and the number of deaths doubled during this time. As a result, traditional single-field farming was abandoned and potatoes were grown. The pheasantry was finally abolished and a park mixed with fruit plantations was created in its place. In the second half of the 18th century, Zittolieb was expanded to the south along Launer Straße and grew to 62 houses. In July 1797 Ernst Karl Pachta von Rayhofen sold the rule Zittolieb with Diwitz to Jakob Wimmer von Wimmersberg.

Musical heyday and foundation of the palace chapel

Old school, training center of the Zittolieber school of composers

Ernst Karl Pachta von Rayhofen, who was himself a good musician, made Zittolieb a center of music in Bohemia in the middle of the 18th century and founded a well-known castle chapel. Pachta made the successful performance of a musical instrument a condition for acceptance into his service. The castle music director and the cantors were obliged to compose. The palace chapel therefore consisted exclusively of the palace staff and was supplemented by educators, cantors and clergy if necessary. In 1754 Ernst Karl Pachta bought a new organ for the church. The palace chapel was closed at the end of the 18th century.

The most important composers were the cantor Václav Jan Kopřiva and the castle conductor Jan Adam Gallina . From the Zittolieber composers' school they ran, u. a. the organist Karel Blažej Kopřiva and the oboist Jan Nepomuk Vent ( Johann Wendt ).

Works from Zittolieber's composition are still performed today at the Prague Spring Festival and played by the Czech Philharmonic . As part of the Pan-European Concert Days of the European Broadcasting Union , broadcast recordings were made by the Český rozhlas .

19th century

In 1802 Jakob Wimmer von Wimmersberg acquired the Domauschitz estate from Karl Prükner and added it to the rule. On February 6, 1803 he sold the entire estate with the castle, the brewery, 17 villages with a total of around 3800 inhabitants, two parish churches and three subsidiary churches, five schools and nine mills to Joseph II zu Schwarzenberg . During the Battle of Kulm in 1813, a Russian hospital was set up in the castle. In total, over 300 Russians are said to have died there; a large part of the outbreak of an epidemic that also killed 17 residents of the town. In 1823 505 people lived in Zittolieb. Due to the increased number of students, two-class classes were started in 1828. In July 1832 an epidemic of Asiatic cholera claimed 41 lives in the town. In 1833 Johann Adolf II. Zu Schwarzenberg inherited the property. In 1835 a fire broke out in the house of the widow Marie Mocker, which affected ten houses on the south and east side of the village square. The following year, Mockersche House No. 55 was again the starting point of a major fire. In 1839 a new cemetery was built on the southern outskirts. The road from Rakonitz to Laun was built between 1841 and 1843, followed by the road connection to Chlumtschan.

In 1844, the lordship comprised a usable area of ​​11,800 yokes, 1157 square fathoms, of which 10,825 yokes, 912 square fathoms, were attributed to Zitolib including Solopisk and Diwitz, and 975 yokes of 245 square fathers to the Domauschitz estate. 4299 Czech-speaking people lived in the entire area, 3706 of them on the Zitolib estate and 593 on the Domauschitz estate. There were also seven Jewish families. The main source of income was agriculture. The authorities owned the ten Meierhöfe Zitolib, Brodetz, Diwitz, Ober-Rotschow, Domauschitz, Rowina, Chlumtschan, Brdloch, Dřewitsch and Solopisk as well as the five sheep farms Zitolib, Brodetz, Diwitz, Ober-Rotschow and Domauschitz. The manorial forests that covered the mountain ridges in Džbán were cultivated by the Thiergartener, Třebotzer, Rotschowaer, Chanower and Markwaretz forest districts. A small zoo with 50–60 fallow deer was maintained near Kozeged.

The territory of Zitolib included the Ober-Rotschow market , the villages Zitolib, Chlumtschan , Brdloch , Brodetz , Senkow ( Senkov ), Winařitz , Diwitz ( Divice ), Ernstdorf ( Hvížďalka ), Kozeged , Třebotz , Solopisk ( Solopysky ), Konotop ( Konotopy ) and Marquaretz ( Markvarec ) as well as 14 houses from Lischtian , twelve houses from Aulowitz ( Úlovice ), ten houses from Unter-Rotschow and from Netschitz ( Nečichy ) the Hegerhaus Buschehrad. The adjoining estate Domauschitz comprised the villages of Domauschitz and Philippsthal ( Filipov ).

The village of Zitolib , also Zittolieb / Citolib and Žitolib, consisted of 65 houses with 605 inhabitants, including three Jewish families. Under the patronage of the authorities were the parish church of St. James the Elder, the parish and the school. In addition, there was an aristocratic castle in the village with the director's apartment and a castle park, an aristocratic Meierhof, a Dominical sheep farm, a Dominical bulk floor, a Dominical brewhouse and an inn. In addition to the town and the brewery, the strong spring in the center of the town also supplied the castle with water by means of a pressure plant and a water pipe. Zitolib was the parish for Chlumtschan , Brdloch ( Brloh ), Brodetz , Senkow ( Senkov ), Lishtian , Pschan , Wlč ( Vlčí ) and the Smolnitz mill. Until the middle of the 19th century, Zitolib was the official village of the allodial rule Zitolib including the Domauschitz estate.

After the abolition of patrimonial Citoliby / Zittolieb formed from 1850 a political municipality in the district and judicial district of Laun. The new rectory was built between 1854 and 1855. In front of it, as well as in front of the brewery, three round ornamental gardens were laid out and the remaining part of the village square was planted with ornamental shrubs. During the German War in 1866, Prussian troops were quartered briefly, with 20 soldiers housed in each farmstead. They brought in cholera, from which 15 residents and one soldier died. During this time, the first club was established with the luck club for joint lottery games, followed in 1869 by the cooperative club Oul . Between 1862 and 1872 Citoliby grew strongly to the north. In the 1869 census, the village had 900 inhabitants, surpassing Lenešice and Líšťany . There were 14 handicraft businesses, five distilleries, three inns, a loan office, two tobacconists , a grocery store and fruit, grain and pig traders in the village . When the railway was built by the Prague-Dux Railway from 1870 onwards, numerous residents were employed, while another part worked in the four surrounding brickworks. This resulted in a change from a purely agricultural village. In 1873 a trade and craft association was formed and five years later a volunteer fire brigade was formed. In 1879 Citoliby was raised to the market because of its importance as the second largest municipality in the Laun district after the district town . In the same year the brewery ceased operations.

The amateur playgroup founded in the 1870s merged in 1880 in the form of a club. The first steam plow was used in agriculture in 1881. At this time, sugar beet cultivation became the focus of arable farming. In the years 1886–1887 a new school building was built. The post office opened in 1889, followed by a telegraph office the following year.

20th century

At the turn of the century, political conflicts flared up in the town between the conservative camp of the old Czechs and the nationalistically oriented young Czechs . The pond in the pheasantry was turned into a swimming pool in 1903. From 1904 school lessons took place in five classes. In 1908 Citoliby received a gendarmerie station. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Citoliby market developed into a regional excursion destination. In the 1921 census Citoliby had 1325 almost exclusively Czech-speaking residents and consisted of 219 houses. A building boom set in in the 1920s, and between 1922 and 1925 a modern-style detached house colony was built on the left-hand side of Chlumčanská Street according to plans by František Vahala. In 1923 the spelling of the place name was changed to Cítoliby . Since the end of the 1920s, the conflicts between the conservative and nationalist camps intensified so much that the state office dissolved the municipal council in 1933 and initiated a new election. In the course of the land reform, the large estate Cítoliby belonging to the Schwarzenberg family was parceled out in 1924–1925, leaving two remnants. By 1930 Cítoliby had grown to 302 houses. 148 children attended the school and classes were held in three classes. During the Sudeten crisis , columns of Czech refugees from the German-speaking villages of the Saaz district arrived in Cítoliby on September 13, 1938. Emergency shelters have been set up in the school and gym. After the Munich Agreement , Cítoliby became a border town with the German Empire. During the German occupation , the vast majority of the population was opposed to the occupiers, but there were also members of the Vlajka . The first German war refugees arrived in Cítoliby in November 1944, and another trek followed in January 1945 with around a hundred evacuees from the approaching eastern front. At the end of April 1945, a unit of the Vlasov Army set up their night quarters on the way to Kozejedy in Cítoliby. At that time, two illegal national committees were formed in Cítoliby because the camps that had fallen out before the war were still not ready to cooperate. On May 5, 1945, both national committees were finally merged into one. Two days later, there was a threat of escalation when German soldiers confronted a group of young men in Cítoliby who had stolen a Wehrmacht car in Louny in order to get to Prague. One of the thieves was shot while the others managed to escape into the fields behind the castle. The Germans then questioned the members of the National Committee who happened to be in the courtyard, as well as passers-by, and threatened to be executed. However, the situation was defused by representatives of the German refugees quartered in the castle, who were also present. On May 9, the Red Army occupied Cítoliby.

In 1961 Brloh was incorporated. On May 1, 1976, Brloh and Cítoliby were incorporated into Louny . Since November 24, 1990, Cítoliby has again formed its own municipality. On October 10, 2006 he was renewed the status of Cítoliby as Městys .

  • Cítoliby Castle, the building dominating the townscape with an irregular trapezoidal floor plan, is surrounded by farm buildings on a hill above the market square. The southern part of the castle clearly dominates the northern part because of the difference in terrain. The two-wing Renaissance building with an L-shaped floor plan was built for Adam Hruška in the 1570s. In the 1660s Margarethe Blandina Schütz von Leypoldsheim had the castle rebuilt and the new south wing added, it was completed around 1690. Between 1732 and 1736, after a castle fire, renovation and restoration work was carried out under Johann Joachim Pachta von Rayhofen. After the land reform, the Louny District Office bought the castle from the Schwarzenberg family in 1928. Apartments, the post office, a prayer room and the gendarmerie station were housed in the north wing. The south wing served as the barracks of the bicycle company of the 9th Infantry Regiment of the Czechoslovak Army until 1938 and then until 1944 as a boarding school for 50 female students at the technical college for women's professions. The south wing was then used for a short time by the Louny grammar school, after which it was used to accommodate German war refugees.
    • Castle garden, laid out in the second half of the 17th century by Jan Tulipán. At the beginning of the 18th century it was decorated with numerous baroque statues by Matthias Bernhard Braun . In 1766 more statues made by the sculptor Arnošt Link from Schlan were added. The 44 figures were brought to Vienna for restoration in 1907. As a result of the First World War and the collapse of the Imperial and Royal Monarchy, the works of art did not return to Cítoliby and are now in the Neuwaldegg baroque garden .
  • Baroque Church of St. James the Elder, completed between 1713 and 1717, it replaced a previous building from the 14th century. It is believed that the Italian builder Domenico Rignano, who was active in Laun and who appears twice in the Zittolieber church registers as a godfather at the beginning of the 18th century, was involved in the construction. The altarpiece, twelve cubits high and eight cubits wide, was created by an unknown artist and depicts the apostle James preaching the gospel in the desert. The representation of the four evangelists next to the high altar is attributed to Peter Johann Brandl . Other paintings are by Wenzel Lorenz Reiner . On the side altar of St. John there is an alabaster crucifix. The sculptural design was done by Matthias Bernhard Braun. Between 1878 and 1882 the old church courtyard wall including the baroque ossuary were torn down. The baroque concert organ from 1754 was replaced in 1900 by a new instrument from the Prague organ building workshop Josef Rejna & Josef Černý and moved to Nový Hrad Castle , where it was destroyed during communist rule. The former cemetery around the church was converted into a park in 1905. The Maria bell from 1492 was melted down in 1942, the death bell from 1744 was returned to the church in December 1945. In 2009 the baroque clock tower was renovated.
