geography

The municipality of Hýľov is located about eight kilometers west of the city of Košice (district of Myslava ). The 23.86 km² large municipal area includes a valley section of the Ida, the upper section of the river is called Idka here . To the north and south, mountain ridges accompany the river valley, which are among the easternmost foothills of the Slovak Ore Mountains . South of the village of Hýľov, the Ida feeds the Bukovec reservoir , three quarters of which belongs to Hýľov. The dam was built in the 1960s to secure the water supply to Košice and to provide emergency cooling for the Košice steelworks . The banks of the reservoir are largely natural. The community area is covered by dense deciduous forests, which are only interrupted by a few clearing islands. The center of the village is at an altitude of 490  m nm , the highest peaks in the municipality reach 569  m nm (Podková) , 656  m nm (Uhoľné) and 727  m nm (Holička) . The Idka takes in numerous mountain streams, including the Hlboký potok . In the northeast, the river Myslavský potok borders the municipal area, which flows into the Hornád in Košice .

The district of Mexico on the Idka belongs to Hýľov, which consisted of wooden houses built by rangers in the 1960s . A few weekend houses were added later.

Neighboring municipalities of Hýľov are Vyšný Klátov in the north, Nižný Klátov in the northeast, Bukovec in the east, Šemša in the southeast, Hodkovce in the south, Nováčany and Rudník in the southwest and Zlatá Idka in the west.

history

The first written mention of the village Hýľov comes from the year 1330. Lords of Hýľov were the Čurkas at that time , who later divided their property between the three sons Tomáš, Mikuláš and Ján . The property included arable and meadow areas, the abundant forest was jointly managed.

From 1332 there were conflicts with the neighboring lords of Šemša and Malá Ida . However, a compromise was agreed that stipulated that future ore discoveries should be divided equally in the disputed areas.

As early as 1318, the name of the small river Hyle pothoca (Hýľe potok), which flows through the village, is recorded in various deeds. The place name Hýľov probably comes from the derivation of a personal name. In the 1320s, today's Church of St. Barbara was built and a parish was founded, as evidenced by records of the papal tithe from 1332.

In 1367 King Ludwig enfeoffed Thomas Čurka and his brother again with Hýľov and the lands in the area. But already in 1401 King Sigismund withdrew this fiefdom again after silver ores were found in Hýľov and neighboring Bukovec . In 1427 there were 18 inhabited farms and a total of 140 inhabitants in Hýľov. The 1540s were marked by the conflict with the city of Košice , which at that time sought dominance over many villages in the area. In 1446 the General Congregation in Budapest ended this dispute with the result that Košice (for the time being) did not get a chance.

After the regional rulers died out, the village fell to King Vladislav , who finally handed Hý Hov over to the city of Košice in 1491. In 1553 there were eleven free inmates in Hýlov and only about 60 inhabitants. The population continued to decrease: in 1715 there were still nine farmers and one beggar living in the village; in 1720 there were again eleven farmers.

In contrast to many surrounding villages, there was no significant immigration of Hungarian-speaking settlers from the south in Hýlov, which may have been due to its relative isolation. German and Hungarian surnames came from the period when they belonged to Košice, when many names were Germanized or Magyarized by officials .

From 1585 to 1591 the Protestant pastor Gregor Gosovský worked in Hýlov , who previously preached in Košice. In 1657 Count Emanuel Zichy built a baroque palace in the village. Many buildings of the aristocratic Zichy family are still preserved today ( Zichy castles , Zichy palace in Bratislava ).

In 1828 the population of Hýlov reached its provisional high at 659. In the 18th century iron ore was mined near the Idka , which was processed further up in Zlatá Idka . In the first half of the 19th century there was also an iron hammer and a brewery in Hýlov . In the 19th century, a fire watch tower and a water tower were built in the center of the village, and a school building consisting of two classrooms and the teacher's apartment in the east of the village. The residents mainly worked in agriculture and forestry. Part of the population emigrated to Canada and the USA. After the First Vienna Arbitration , Hýlov, like many other surrounding communities, belonged again to Hungary from 1938 to 1945.

After the Second World War, a KSČ local group was founded in Hýlov . In the 1950s there was a registry office, a parish office, a school and the volunteer fire department in Hýlov. The road connection including the bus line from Košice via Hýlov to Zlatá Idka has existed since the early 1960s.
