history

The first written mention of Dobric took place in 1205, when Vladike Nostislav von Dobric left the farm including four hooves of land to the Benedictine monastery Insula . The place was called Dobrziecz in Latin scripts and later Dobřieč in Czech . During the power struggles after the death of Ottokar II. Přemysl , the monastery and its surrounding 24 villages, including Dobříč, were devastated in 1278 by the Brandenburg troops of Otto IV . After the murder of the last Přemyslid king Wenceslaus III. the area was subject to looting by the army of Heinrich of Carinthia between 1307 and 1310 . After Johann von Luxemburg had taken Prague in autumn 1310, the abbot Hermann had Pope Clement V draw up a papal protection certificate for the entire monastery rule, in which the Dobrziecz estate was listed. In August 1420 the Hussites first burned down the Cistercian monastery Königsaal and on August 10, 1420 began the siege and shelling of the monastery Insula, which they captured and burned down four days later. Some of the Benedictines were able to flee to the St. Johann provost house. In 1421, Emperor Sigismund confiscated all of the goods of the destroyed Insula Monastery and assigned them to the Karlstein rule . In 1436 he pledged the goods Dobříč and Mezouň to Hospřid von Hostivice for loyal services, who leased the Dobříč farm to the nobles. At the end of the 15th century, the Insula Monastery bought the Dobříč farm and nine other goods back. In 1502, the abbot Stephan leased the Dobříč farm, which was soon withdrawn because of the backlog of the lease. The ruinous monastery of Insula fell into disrepair; it was finally given up completely in 1517 when the last monks moved to the daughter monastery of Sankt Johann unter dem Felsen. During the tenure of abbot John V (1517–1539) the Dobříč farm was leased again. After the uprising in Bohemia , the monastic villages of St. John under the Rock , Sedlec, Hostím and Bubovice and the Dobříč farm were confiscated in 1619 and sold to Jindřich Šťastný Homut von Harasov. This connected the Dobříč farm to his Chrustenice estate . The two chalets belonging to the Prague cathedral chapter of St. Vitus were also confiscated and sold to the old town citizen Matouš Michalový. After the Battle of White Mountain , the monastery got its property back in 1621 and leased the Dobříč farm to Kunigunde Kunsch von Berbisdorf in 1622 . She overindebted the court within a very short time. When the von Berbisdorf family was punished in 1623 for their participation in the class uprising, Kunigunde von Berbisdorf left Bohemia and left open claims amounting to 1138 Meissnian shock at the farm. In the same year, the Prague Cathedral Chapter received its share of Dobříč back. The Dobříč farm was destroyed during the Thirty Years War .

In 1710, the Abbot of St. Johann Aemelianus Kotterovský bought a part of the village for 3800 guilders from Peter Daverin together with the Prague cathedral chapter, for a further 1000 guilders he removed this part from the subordination of the capitular property Chrášťany . There is evidence of a bell tower since 1756. After the abolition of the St. Johann monastery, its goods fell to the religious fund in 1785. In 1790 the court chamber sold the Dobříč farm to the Obersthofmarschall Rudolf Graf von Swéerts-Sporck . Later the court came again into imperial possession.

In 1846 the village Dobřič in the Berauner district consisted of 28 houses with 155 inhabitants. Of these, 18 houses with 84 inhabitants, including a Protestant family, belonged to the Karlstein reign and 10 houses with 71 inhabitants belonged to the St. Johann estate . On the Karlsteiner part there was an inn, on the St. Johanner part there was a Meierhof. The parish was Tachlowitz . The residents lived from agriculture. Until the middle of the 19th century, Dobřič remained partially subordinate to the kk Tafel lordship of Karlstein and the St. Johann estate.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Dobric 1850 a district of the municipality Zbuzany in the judicial district Smíchov . From 1868 the village belonged to the Smichow district . In the second half of the 19th century iron ore deposit was Nučice opened up the hill Skrobek north of Dobric the iron ore mine was Škroby added. Since then, new houses have been built in Dobřič for the employees of the Prague Iron Industry Company. A limestone quarry was built in 1863 in the Skála corridor south of the village. In 1869 Dobřič consisted of 25 houses and had 252 inhabitants. The farm was sold by the Bohemian Chamber in 1873, but later came into the possession of Emperor Franz Joseph I. The village of Dobříč broke away from Zbuzany in 1877 and formed its own municipality. In 1880, the municipality signed a contract with the Kladno ironworks for the construction of a horse-drawn railway to transport the limestone. In 1909 the municipality leased the Skála limestone quarry to Josef Sůr from Kosoř. Another limestone quarry in Mexico was operated by local farmers. After the establishment of Czechoslovakia, the Dobříč farm was transferred to a state estate in 1918. In 1921 the village had grown to 56 houses with 506 people living in them. The current form of the name Dobříč has been used since 1925. In 1927 Dobříč was assigned to the Praha-venkov District and the Praha-západ Judicial District. Dobříč had 482 inhabitants in 1932. In 1942 Dobříč became part of the newly formed Praha-venkov-sever district. The tunnel to the Mexico limestone quarry was expanded by miners in April 1945 as a shelter for the residents of Dobříč and Chýnice. The iron ore mining stopped in the middle of the 20th century. Since 1949 the municipality has belonged to Okres Praha-západ . In 1950, 357 people lived in the 83 houses in Dobříč. The bell tower was demolished in 1958. The mill Hladkovský mlýn located on the cadastre of Dobříč on Radotínský potok near Chýnice was also demolished in the second half of the 20th century. In 1990 Josef Čemák from Tachlovice bought the Dobříč farm, but without the associated former large estate. In 2008 the village consisted of 124 houses and had 293 inhabitants.

Attractions

• Remains of the former Dobříč chateau on the site of the farm yard, it was converted into a granary at the end of the 19th century.
• Memorial to the fallen of the First World War , it was created according to a design by the Prague sculptor Emanuel Kodet and was unveiled in 1929. It was restored in 1993.
• The former evangelical cemetery in the southern part of the village, it was the burial place of Protestants from Chýnice and the surrounding area. After the last burial in 1918, the cemetery, vilified by the predominantly Catholic population of Dobříč as a Bockfriedhof (beranský hřbitov) , was left to its own devices. Instead of repairing the cemetery, which was planned in 1931, the municipal council considered it more necessary to clean up the Handrlák pond. After an evangelical burial was supposed to take place in 1994 for a resident of Chýnice who had died in an accident, the cemetery was cleared up at short notice by the mayor Zdeněk Louda. No further maintenance work was carried out afterwards.
