Havlíčkova Borová , until 1949 Borová (German Borau ) is a minor town in Okres Havlíčkův Brod ( Deutschbrod district ) with around 960 inhabitants. It is located about 10 km east of the district capital Havlíčkův Brod on the Borovský potok , a tributary of the Sázava ( Sasau ). Well-known is Karel Havlíček Borovský , a poet, journalist and supporter of the national movement , who was born in the village in 1821 and chose the surname after his place of birth.

history

The first written mention of the village comes from 1289 under the name Rudná Borová . The name is derived from the local pine forests (borovice = pine, pine) and the fact that iron ore was mined and processed until the 16th century (rudná, ruda = ore).

Until the 17th century, the place was owned by a line of the lords of Schönfeld , who lost their possessions after the class uprising in 1618.

After the Thirty Years War , the Lords of Dietrichstein succeeded as owners of Rudná Borová. Ferdinand Joseph von Dietrichstein founded the first school in 1676.

On April 1, 1744 Rudná Borová received by Empress Maria Theresa , the market law . The privilege of brewing beer followed in 1770 .

The plan to connect the community to the railway network failed in the First World War and was not pursued afterwards. The place has been supplied with electricity since 1926.

In 1949 it was renamed Havlíčkova Borová. 2006 Havlíčkova Borová was raised to a minor town (Czech městys ).
