history

Dobenín was above the Branka pass, which is also known as "zemská brána" ( Landestor ). An ancient national path ran over it, leading from Prague via Náchod, the Hummel Pass and through the Glatzer Kessel to the Bohemian border castle Glatz ( Kladsko ) and on to Silesia .

It is not known when the Dobenín settlement was founded. The place or site name "Dobenina" was mentioned for the first time by the Bohemian chronicler Cosmas for the year 1068. At that time the Bohemian Duke Vratislav II stayed there , who intended to move to Poland because of the Bohemian-Polish conflict over Silesia. Although part of his military was already in the Preseka area, Vratislav had to give up the project because of the resistance of his brothers and the Bohemian nobility. Before retreating over Opočno , 16 kilometers south, he held an open-air meeting in Dobenín, at which Vratislav's younger brother Jaromír-Gebehard was elected bishop of Prague against the will of Vratislav .

The Dobenín Church of St. Wenceslas, first mentioned in 1359, was probably built around the middle of the 13th century, as there is evidence of a parish for 1259. During the Hussite Wars , Dobenín was destroyed on January 3, 1424 in a dispute between Johann Městecký von Opočno and his followers and the Hussite leader Jan Žižka . The St. Wenceslas Church, which was also destroyed, was later repaired.

In memory of the historical place Dobenín, the Národní strana ( National Party ) held a popular assembly there on Wenceslas Day 1868 , with which peaceful social coexistence should be promoted.

In recognition of his services to the common good, the textile industrialist Josef Bartoň , who was also mayor of Náchod, was ennobled by Emperor Franz Josef with the title "von Dobenín" ( z Dobenína ).
