history
According to ancient traditions, there was a Slavnikid festival in Choťovice . In 995, the Přemyslids, in league with the Vršovci, took advantage of the absence of the Slavnikid's army to conquer their territories. The Choťovice fortress is said to have been destroyed.
The first documentary mention of the place took place in 1357, when Mikuláš and Jan Bartek were named as owners of the fortress, which was probably built around 1345. Another owner from 1392 is Mikuláš von Chotějovice. In 1414 the Choťovice was attached to the rule Hradišťko. The layout of the place with its central market square 150 m long and 100 m wide, to which all streets lead, suggests that Choťovice was laid out as an urban settlement. After the Cidlina had been dammed up into the large Zehun fish pond in 1492, the place was right on the edge of the water and could no longer expand. In the berní rula of 1654 ten peasant positions, six sit-in and two kötter are shown for Choťovice.
After the abolition of patrimonial Chotějovice / Chotowitz formed a municipality in the Nový Bydžov district from 1850 . In 1870, the Groß Wossek - Wostromer railway line opened on the opposite bank of the lake at the Zehuner Tiergarten . In 1895 a four-class school opened in the town. At the end of the 19th century the name of the village changed first to Chotovice and then to Choťovice . In 1931 518 people lived in the village. On January 1, 1961, Choťovice was incorporated into Žehuň and at the same time came to Okres Nymburk. Since the beginning of 2007 it has belonged to the Okres Kolín.
