history
In the valley above Budweis several mines were in operation in the first half of the 16th century , which belonged to the Rudolfstadt mining district. They were located below today's village in the direction of Dürrnfellern ( Suché Vrbné ). Mainly arsenopyrite , pyrite and silver were mined in the quartz veins to be found here . There were also layers of lettuce with clay iron and gold washes . The heyday of mining ended with the Thirty Years' War .
In 1618 the wedding of the later mayor Johann Karmensky von Ebenfeld to the widow Dorothea Pankl took place in Budweis. The bride had previously been healed of an illness by the water of a healing spring , to which an apparition of the Virgin Mary had shown her the way.
With the blessing of the Archbishop of Prague Ernst Adalbert von Harrach, a chapel was built at this spring in 1630 , for which the city of Budweis provided the land. In 1632 the church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary was consecrated by the Prague bishop Simon von Hornstein, and the patronage was the city of Budweis. Opposite the Budweiser Council had the builder build another chapel and Gutwasser became a place of pilgrimage to Mary.
The church soon proved to be too small. Therefore, in 1718, the dean Schwantle proposed the construction of a new church to the city. The city initially pursued its own plans in Gutwasser and had the bathhouse at the source expanded between 1719 and 1720 and an inn built in the vicinity.
Emperor Charles VI. and his wife Elisabeth Christine visited Budweis in 1732. The council took the opportunity to present the project to the emperor, who welcomed it.
In 1733 the Prague consistory approved 10,000 guilders from the property of the old church for the new building. The court architect Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer , who had already drawn up the plans, and his colleague Anselmo Lurago were commissioned with the implementation. The stone carving was done by Zacharias Horn and Jakub Slavík. The altar figures and decorations are by the Passau artist Giovanni Battista de Allio , the three large statues made of shell limestone by the Budweiser sculptor Josef Dietrich and the frescoes were created by Wenzel Lorenz Reiner . On October 18, 1739, the new church of the Blessed Virgin Mary was consecrated by the Budweiser Dean Johann Qualbert Bormann. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the church was repaired and redesigned. In 1995 the frescoes were restored.
The old church was consecrated as the Chapel of St. Linhart in 1770 . After the chapel was no longer needed, it was sold in 1809 and converted into a residential building.
In the years 1770 to 1808 mining revived. District Commissioner Count Berchtold invested in the St. Barbara and St. Sebastian mines, the Leopold shaft was excavated and a new deep tunnel , the St. Moritz tunnel, was driven. The main works of the St. Wenzel and St. Anna pits, Anton Buttner, also had a new tunnel built, the St. Andreas tunnel. The supply of impact water turned out to be the main problem . In 1784 the Rudolfstadt Mining Authority was relocated to Gutwasser. In 1809 all pits were closed because they did not meet expectations despite considerable subsidies.
Between 1837 and 1839 a Way of the Cross was laid out for the pilgrimage church , for whose chapels the painter Renata Štolbová created modern representations in 1996 .
Since the replacement of the manors in 1850 Gutwasser formed a municipality to which the localities Bucharten ( Pohůrka ) and Dürrnfellern ( Suché Vrbné ) belonged and temporarily merged with Lodus ( Mladé ).
Gutwasser was the pastor of Dürrnfellern, Bucharten, Strups , Trebotowitz ( Třebotovice ), Kalischt ( Kaliště ) and Hlinz ( Hlinsko ).
Shortly before the turn of the century, mining engineer WE Miksch revived mining. In 1893 he had the St. Anna shaft constructed at the old cemetery. The last mine closed in 1914.
The pilgrimages and its importance as a health resort made Gutwasser famous at the beginning of the 20th century.
Today the municipality is a suburb of České Budějovice, whose city limits meanwhile extend to the place.
