history

According to tradition, the Church of the Birth of John the Baptist is said to have been founded in 1037 by the Benedictines from the Insula monastery . The first written mention of Dyekowie took place on September 1, 1325, when the Rakonitzer citizen Raczko de Dyekowa and his son Raczlaw sold their jointly owned Vladikengut ; Burghart von Flöhau received one half , the other half to his brother Przech von Koleschowitz . There is evidence of a pastor in Děkov since 1341. In 1361 the Burghart estate belonged to Flöhaus s sons Bernhard and Bubo. The subsequent owners of the estate acquired the title of Dyekow ( z Děkova ). In 1380 Zdislav and Johan Zaczek were mentioned as church patrons. From 1387 the pastor Johann († 1412) was the owner of the farm; he was 1390 by Pope Boniface IX. appointed chaplain, in 1407 he sold his share. Another part belonged to a Bech who had no descendants and from 1397 Wenzel von Dyekow. In 1392 Sulko von Dyekow and Katharina von Dyekow, who also called herself von Přesnicz, can be traced back to the owners of additional shares. In 1416 Sulko von Dyekow, Johann von Dyekow and Johann von Sátek jointly held the church patronage. Sulko von Dyekow is traceable until 1437, Johann von Dyekow until 1463. Between 1465 and 1474 the fortress was the seat of Prokop von Dyekow, who later acquired the Petrowitz estate . In 1483 he sold six houses including the farm in Kolešov to Sigismund von Boršitz and Stochov, to which Elisabeth von Dyekow and Kolešov also had rights. In 1501 the landlord Peter Bobrowetz von Bobrowitz and Dyekow was accused of defamation by Prokop Navrek von Černčice. In 1531 his son Georg Bobrowetz inherited the estate; five years later he was imprisoned for a long period in the Red Tower in Prague after seriously injuring Peter von Skal in a dispute in Rakonitz. After his release, he unsuccessfully sued his tenant Johann Muchek von Muchkov for mismanagement in 1539, but his lease with Muchek was not registered in the land register. In the following year Georg Bobrowetz sold the run-down property to Georg Charwat von Bärnstein, who in 1542 sold it to Erhard Ritter Stambach von Stambach . The first evidence of a school comes from the year 1550, the schoolhouse was on the east side of the rectory. In 1573 Erhard von Stambach's sons Wolf, Soldan and Adam shared the paternal inheritance. Adam von Stambach, who was married to Benigna Hrobschitzky von Hrobschitz , died in 1590. His daughter and universal heiress Maria left the estate to her relative Leonhard Stambach von Stambach in 1602. On September 12, 1607, the estate passed into the possession of Hans Audritzky von Audritz. After his death, it was inherited by Hans Bernklau von Schönreuth († 1618), followed by his son Gideon. After the battle of the White Mountain, he was sentenced to lose half of his fortune because of his participation in the class uprising on May 23, 1623. The Hofkammer sold the confiscated Dekau estate with Neudorf in the same year to the imperial general Franz de Cuvier. During the Thirty Years' War the parish of Děkov became a center of the Counter-Reformation , until 1707 its district included the villages of Děkov, Hořovičky, Hokov, Vlkov, Kolešovice, Hořesedly, Pšovlky, Přílepy, Svojetín, Povlčín, Kounov and Oráčov. The church in Děkov, which was destroyed in the war, was rebuilt in 1664.

General de Cuvier's inheritance fell to his only son, Franz Emanuel, who, however, was mentally and physically disabled. Its curators sold Dekau in 1672 to Emanuel Hildprandt von und zu Ottenhausen. From 1674, his widow Maria Barbara, née Freiin Fieger von Hirschberg, managed the estate. In her second marriage, she married the imperial regimental captain Johann Lassini de Homaces ( Johann von Lassie ) on August 15, 1681 , who died four years later. In 1697 her son Wenzel Ularius Hildprandt took over half of the property and, after his mother's death in 1701, the other half. In the same year he sold the estate to Johann Jakob Kulhanek von Klaudenstein . After his death in 1708, Wenzel Mulhardt Ritter von Milhartice managed the estate for the underage Johann Josef Kulhanek, from 1713 it belonged to Wenzel Alsterle von Astfeld. On July 14, 1717, Georg Olivier von Wallis bought Gut Dekau with the associated villages Dekau, Neudorf and Wilkau. He united it with the Koleschowitz and Hokau estates in 1744 to form the Koleschowitz rule and declared it to be a family entrepre- neurship . In 1744 his son Stephan Olivier of Wallis inherited the property . He also united the Petrowitz estate with the Koleschowitz rule . Dekau Castle was inhabited by the widowed Countess Götz, née von Wallis, until the 1760s and then left to decay. Stephan Olivier von Wallis had it removed after a fire and planted an orchard in its place. In 1798 a new school building was moved into, at which time the children from Hokov, Hořovičky and Vlkov, among others, also attended the Dekau school. Three years later the children from Hořovičky were retrained to Kolešov. In 1826 the new cemetery was laid out. In 1832 Stephan's son Rudolf Olivier Graf von Wallis inherited the property, followed by his son Friedrich Olivier Graf von Wallis in 1838. In 1837 parts of the old cemetery around the church were washed away in a flash flood.

In 1843 Dekau / Dekow or Děkow consisted of 51 houses with 346 German-speaking residents, including three Jewish families. The parish church of John the Baptist, the parish and the school were under lordly patronage. There was also an official farm with a sheep farm and an inn. To one side was a mill. Dekau was the parish for Wilkau ( Vlkov ), Neudorf ( Nová Ves ), Hokau , Firbitz ( Vrbice ) and Horschowitz . The residents lived primarily from growing hops. Until the middle of the 19th century, Dekau remained subject to the Fideikommissherrschaft Koleschowitz.

After the abolition of patrimonial , Dekau / Děkov formed from 1850 with the district Neudorf and the one-layer Kleine Mühle a municipality in the district of Saaz and judicial district of Jechnitz. At that time, 1072 people lived in what is now the municipality. In the same year 15 people died of cholera in Neudorf and Dekau. In 1868 Dekau was assigned to the Podersam district . In the years 1876–1880 the Dekau school was enlarged, in 1879 a school of its own was established in Hokau. The district road was built between 1886 and 1888. In 1901 the farmer Karl Weis found a large number of stone balls 10 to 20 cm in diameter while digging a trench in his field. In 1930 there were 525 people living in Dekau with Neudorf, in 1932 there were 509. After the Munich Agreement , the municipality was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Podersam district until 1945 . In 1939 the community had 432 inhabitants. After the end of the Second World War, Děkov came back to Czechoslovakia and the German population was expelled . The Okres Podbořany was abolished in 1960, since then Děkov has belonged to the Okres Rakovník . In 1961 Vlkov was incorporated. On January 1, 1980, Děkov, Nová Ves and Vlkov were incorporated into Hořovičky ; the places broke away from Hořovičky on November 24, 1990 and formed the community Děkov.
