history

Legend has it that the miller's boy Kocík saved the life of Duke Udalrich in the first third of the 12th century when he was attacked by a boar while hunting. In gratitude for this Udalrich is said to have given the Dobrš fortress to the Kocík.

The two Romanesque church buildings prove that Dobrš already existed in the early 13th century. The first written mention of Dobrš was in 1352. In 1377 Přibík von Dobrš, called Kocík, appointed a pastor in the church of Dobrš. He is also the first proven member of the Vladikegeschd Kotz von Dobrz , who owned the estate and the Dobrš fortress until 1607 with a short interruption. The Kotz von Dobrz were in the service of the Order of St. John from 1390 to 1435 and from 1445 with the Lords of Rosenberg . They also owned the Žihobce fortress . At the beginning of the Hussite Wars , Dobrš was devastated and burned down by the insurgents in 1421. In 1512 they sold the estate to Bušek from Újezdec. Christoph Kotz von Dobrz has been the owner of the fortress since 1528. In 1561 he had the fortress, church and chapel rebuilt. In the course of the 16th century, Messrs. Kotz von Dobrz were able to expand their property considerably. At the end of the 16th century, the Wenzel Kotz d. Ä. from Dobrz, who also owned the Žihobce fortress. In 1609 the property was divided; a portion with the brewery and the ditch as well as half of the festivals and the court were connected to the Miletice estate; the other part received the Ohrazenice branch of Kotz von Dobrz and then Anna Kawka from Řičan, who also acquired the Mileticer share and reunited both parts.

From 1615 Johann Kawka von Řičan and from 1679 Franz Albrecht Chřepicky von Modlischowitz belonged to the following owners. The latter sold the property to Apollonia Ludmila Countess von Althann in 1690 . Their son Hubert Sigmund von Althann had the fortress rebuilt in 1662 and sold the Dobrš estate on April 7, 1707 to Prince Adam Franz zu Schwarzenberg , who connected it with his neighboring Přetschin estate. The princes of Schwarzenberg remained the owners of the estate. During this time the fortress fell into disrepair, the trenches were filled in and of the two towers only the western one remained. At times it served as a hospital. In 1780 the palace garden was closed and in 1800 parts of the festival were sold as apartments. Pastor Johann Casimir Winter, who died on January 2, 1823, set up a foundation for pious purposes with a capital of 2530 guilders. He also bequeathed his library of 330 works to the monastery, which was located in the rectory. After the death of Prince Joseph II of Schwarzenberg , his son Johann Adolf II inherited him in 1833. In 1838 a school was set up in the front wing of the fortress.

In 1840 the Dobrsch estate included the villages of Dobrsch , Chwalsowitz ( Chvalšovice ), Dražow , Groß-Dřeschin , Lhota ( Lhota nad Rohanovem ) and Zales ( Zálesí ). The village Dobrsch / Dobř or Dobeš consisted of 29 houses with 368 inhabitants. The parish church of the Annunciation, the chapel of St. Katharina, the parish, a school, an old castle, which was partly converted into a bulk floor and partly used as a cottage, and a farm. Outside the village behind the rectory was the chapel of St. John and Paul. Dobrsch was the parish for Chwalsowitz, Dražow, ​​Zales ( Zálesí ), Kwaskowitz ( Kváskovice ), Wyska ( Víska ), Neudorf , Hořegschitz ( Hořejšice ), Dřeschinko ( Dřešínek ) and Watzowitz . Until the middle of the 19th century, the village was always subject to the allodial estate Přetschin including Dobř and Rohanow.

After the abolition of patrimonial Dobrž formed with the districts Dražov , Dřešínek, Horejšice and Zálesí from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Strakonice and the judicial district Volyně . In 1869 there were 387 people living in the village, in 1900 there were 400. In 1910, 320 children were educated in the school. In 1911 the school burned down. In 1912 Dražov , Dřešínek with Horejšice and Zálesí von Dobrž broke away and formed their own community. Dobrš has been used as an official place name since 1924 .
