history
Chotiměř was first mentioned in documents in 1228 as the property of the St. George Monastery in Prague. Two forts were built in the village in the 14th century , one of which belonged to Smil from Vchynice and the other to Zdeněk from Vchynice at the beginning of the 15th century . In the 15th century the Osterský von Sulevicz acquired both forts, one of which was attached to the Scharfenstein Castle . In 1492 the Osterský von Sulevicz sold both goods and the owners changed many times. In 1537, Sigismund Jílovský von Greštorf was able to unite both parts and a fortress fell desolate. In 1580 Bohuslav Kaplirz zu Sulewicz bought Chotiměř, who improperly married the Raudnitz maid Katharina Hofmann. The next owner became the captain of the Königgrätzer Kreis Friedrich von Biela , who also called himself Friedrich von Kottomir. As one of the leaders of the insurgents, he was executed on June 21, 1621 in the Old Town Square in Prague and his head was displayed on the bridge tower of Charles Bridge.
In 1622 Albrecht von Waldstein bought Kottomir and gave it to his lord Lobositz . The Waldsteiners remained owners of Kottomir until 1646 , when Jan Viktor von Waldstein pledged the place to the Holy Cross Monastery in Prague. The next owner was Sylvia Catherina Czernin and after her death in 1664 the inheritance fell to her second husband Leopold Wilhelm von Baden-Baden . Two of the Kottomir houses belonged to the Boreč manor, the other 28 (1780) to the Lobositz manor. However, the lordship of Boreč was attached to Lobositz, so that practically the entire village belonged to Lobositz. In 1830 the place had 175 inhabitants and by 1900 their number rose to 314. In 1814 a German-speaking school was established. After the abolition of patrimonial Kottomir became an independent municipality in 1848.
In 1897 the North Bohemian Transversal Railway from Teplitz to Reichenberg started running , on which the Milleschau-Kottomir stop was set up halfway to Welemin . In 1928 a second, Czech school was established, which was closed in 1938. After the Second World War , the German-speaking residents were expelled and the Czech school moved in 1945 into the schoolhouse of the former German school, which was built in 1913. At that time, the village of Kletečná and the settlement of Malá Chotiměř belonged to the municipality of Chotiměř.
In the following years the villages Dobkovičky, Hrušovka, Bílý Újezd and the settlement Zbožná were incorporated. On December 9, 1980, the incorporation to Velemín was decided. Since August 30, 1990, Chotiměř, but without the earlier districts that remained with Velemín, again an independent municipality.
