history

The first written mention of the place took place in 1352. The church was mentioned in 1384 for the first time. Chelčice was the ancestral seat of the Vladiken family Hrůza von Chelčice, which from 1390 had its seat on the Helfenburg as vassals of the Lords of Rosenberg . At the place of the Záhorčí farm there was another fortress (Záhoří), which was first mentioned in 1389 as the property of the Hroznata of Záhoří. Petr Záhorka, who is identified with Petr Chelčický , came from the family of Záhorka von Záhořice . The construction books show pastors in Chelčice since 1401. When Ulrich II von Rosenberg acquired Prachatice in 1444 , he appointed Václav Hrůza von Chelčice as burgrave there. In the second half of the 15th century, the Knights Malowetz von Malovice acquired the Chelčice estate and connected it to Libějovice. On July 27, 1562 Dionys von Malowetz sold Libějovice with other goods to Wilhelm von Rosenberg . He was followed in 1592 by his younger brother Peter Wok von Rosenberg , with whose death the Rosenbergs died out in the male line in 1611. Johann Georg von Schwanberg inherited his possessions . His son Peter von Schwanberg was one of the leaders of the rebels during the uprising. After the Battle of the White Mountain , his property was confiscated and in 1620 the Emperor Ferdinand II gave it to the military leader Karl von Buquoy for faithful service. The lordship remained in the possession of the Count Longueval de Buquoy until the beginning of the 19th century . In 1801 Johann Joseph von Buquoy sold the property to Prince Joseph II zu Schwarzenberg , whom his son Johann Adolf II zu Schwarzenberg inherited in 1833. The domain administrator and later official and economic director of the rule Franz Horsky built up the rule systematically from 1829 onwards to an agricultural model property of the imperial and royal monarchy. In 1840 Cheltschitz / Chelčice consisted of 54 houses with 316 inhabitants. In the village there was a parish church, parish and school under the patronage of the manor. There were also two inns. The chapel of St. Maria Magdalena with the bath house as well as the single-layer Zahoř, which consists of five scattered houses, with a manorial farm with a sheep farm, a herding house, a brickworks and two Dominical houses. Cheltschitz was the parish for Libiegitz , Hwoždian ( Hvožďany ), Augezd ( Újezd ), Truskowitz , Křepitz ( Křepice ), Langendorf ( Dlouhá Ves ) and Freilebirg ( Libějovické Svobodné Hory ). Until the middle of the 19th century, the village was always subject to the allodial rule Libiegitz, including the Čichtitz estate.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Chelčice / Chelčice 1850 a municipality in the district administration Prachatice and the Judicial District Vodňany. In 1880 the municipality became part of the Okres Písek. In 1949 Chelčice was assigned to Okres Vodňany, after its abolition the place came to Okres Strakonice at the beginning of 1961 . In 1961 Truskovice was incorporated. Due to the natural and climatic conditions, Chelčice became an important fruit-growing area in the 20th century. In 1967 orchards were planted in the open space around the village. In Chelčice the development of biological methods for the protection of orchards took place. On January 1, 1981 the incorporation of Libějovice took place . After a referendum, Truskovice, Dlouhá Ves, Libějovice, Černěves and Nestanice broke away on November 24, 1990 and formed their own communities. Chelčice has had a coat of arms and a banner since 2000. In 2006 and 2007, partnerships were established in the Bavarian and Austrian fruit growing regions of Lallinger Winkel and Mostviertel . The largest company is the agricultural company Zemcheba Chelčice with its headquarters in Záhorčí and 150 employees.
