history

Hejná was first mentioned in writing in a deed of donation from Duke Břetislav I over 17 villages of the Prachin district from October 18, 1045 to the Breunau Benedictine monastery , which is, however, a Breunau falsification from the 13th century. The Benedictines had a daughter monastery built in Nezamyslice . Before the first siege of Rabí Castle by the Hussites , the Nezamyslice monastery was burned down in 1420 by the army of Jan Žižka . Since the mother monastery had also been destroyed at the beginning of the Hussite Wars , Emperor Sigismund left the goods of the former Nezamyslice monastery to the brothers Johann and Wilhelm the Elder in the 1420s. J. von Riesenberg , who at that time also received the Raby rule as a pledge. Hejná was attached to Raby and in 1437 finally became the property of the Lords of Riesenberg. After Půta Švihovský of Riesenberg the rule Prachin had acquired, he had to restore the licensed by the previous owners the Expiration Castle Prachin to 1500th In 1505 he signed the Prachin and Horažďovice dominions to his wife as a morning gift . Later, his son Heinrich Švihovský von Riesenberg inherited the rulers and united them. The seat of the lordship became the Horažďovice chateau; Prachin Castle was described as desolate from 1558 onwards. The Švihovský von Riesenberg held the property until the battle of the White Mountain . The eastern part of today's municipality belonged to the possessions of the knights Boubínský from Újezd ​​on Boubín until the 17th century; The Zadní Újezd ​​fortress was located in the place of the Karlov court, and Železný Újezd ​​was also subject to Boubín.

During the Thirty Years' War the area was devastated and the village deserted. The next owners were the von Sternbergs . Clara Bernardina von Sternberg, née von Maltzan , abolished on July 1, 1714 the "monkey taxes" ( opičí dani ) to be paid by the subjects in Hejná and Nezamyslice . In 1719 the Lords of Sternberg sold the Horažďovice estate to Philippina von Thun and Hohenstein . The subsequent owners were the Counts of Mansfeld between 1721 and 1749 , then Wenzel Maria Josef von Pötting and Persing until 1752 and then Heinrich Franz von Mansfeld and Fondi until 1755. In 1755 the princes Löwenstein-Wertheim acquired the rule and placed it under the administration of the administration of the princely Löwenstein estates in Wertheim . On March 6, 1787, Hejná was repared from Malý Bor to Nezamyslice. In 1800 the Counts von Rummerskirch inherited the rule of Horažďovice and established a manorial superior office in Horažďovice. Karl von Rummerskirch sold the rule after several bad investments in 1834 to Rudolf Kinsky von Wchinitz and Tettau , to whom it was subordinated to the Princely Kinsky property management. Until the middle of the 19th century, Hejná was always subject to the Horažďovice rule.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Hajná / Heyna 1850 with the districts Boubín, Karlov, Železný Újezd and Velké Hydčice a municipality in the judicial district Horažďowitz. From 1868 the community belonged to the Strakonitz district . Both districts separated in 1877 and formed their own communities. In 1887 the construction of the railway from Horažďovice-Babín to Klatovy began , which started operating the following year. In 1889, the Pilsen stonemason Karl Falkenberg and the miller Jaroslav Fürst from Střelské Hoštice leased the Radvanka hill from the municipality and opened a limestone quarry. The rock was recovered as Gray Sumava marble marketed and used especially for monuments. After Falkenberg's death, Prince František took Trnka on as a new company. They set up a lime kiln in Velké Hydčice . After Prince had sold his company stake to František Trnka, the latter made his brother Karel a partner and founded the company Bratři Trnkové ( Trnka Brothers ), which soon grew to 20-30 employees. In addition to the distillery in Velké Hydčice and the break on the Radvanka, a second break on the Pučanka was added a little later. In 1899, the municipality extended the lease contract with Bratři Trnkové under the terms of preferential employment of local residents and the residents' right to break stones as building material.

The Czech place name Hejná has been used since the end of the 19th century . In 1902 a two-class village school began teaching. In 1905 the savings and loan association for Heyna and the surrounding area was established. The volunteer fire brigade was founded three years later. During the First World War, the quarry had to be restricted due to a lack of workers and finally stopped completely. In 1920 the quarry on the Radvanka was leased again with a contract term until 1944 and was put back into operation the following year. In the course of the land reform of 1922, the large estates of the Kinsky family in Hejná, Boubín and Veřechov were parceled out. The Karlov farm was sold to Josef Choda, whose descendants still own it. From 1949 Hejná belonged to the Okres Horažďovice. After its abolition, the community was assigned to the Okres Klatovy in 1960. Železný Újezd ​​was changed to Kejnice in 1961 and renamed Karlovce. In 1970 the school in Hejná was closed. In April 30, 1976 Hejná was incorporated into Horažďovice . The municipality of Hejná has existed again since November 24, 1990.

"Monkey taxes"

According to tradition, the "monkey taxes" are said to have been introduced by Půta Švihovský. The historian August Sedláček explained it as feed money ( opicné ), as it was raised in several villages in the area in the Middle Ages. Wilhelm von Strakonitz abolished this tax in his area as early as the middle of the 14th century. Only in the former monastery villages of Hejná and Nezamyslice did this levy last for a long time and eventually became opičí dani (“monkey tax ”) due to the change in language that made opicné an uncommon term .
