history
The first written mention was made in 1369 as the property of Vladiken Zdislav von Hněvčeves. The lords of Hněvčeves held the property until the end of the 15th century. The last owner from this family was Mladota von Hněvčeves from 1479. After his death, his heirs Václav and Petr von Černůtky sold the reign in 1503 to Václav Záruba von Hustířan. He closed the property to the Cerekvice nad Bystřicí rule and had the church rebuilt , which was destroyed during the Hussite Wars in 1424. Hněvčeves belonged to the Záruba until 1729, when Jan Josef Záruba sold the Cerekvice estate to Maximilian Ulysses Browne . The Imperial Count Browne was followed in 1822 by Count Jan Kolowrat , who ten years later sold the property to Franz Girtler Ritter von Kleeborn.
After the abolition of patrimonial Hněvčeves formed a municipality in the Königgrätz district from 1850 . During the German War , on July 2, 1866, an Austrian vanguard met the Prussians in Hněvčeves and a battle broke out. The next day the decisive battle of Königgrätz took place southeast of the town around the hills Svíb and Chlum . In 1881 the construction of the railway from Hradec Králové via Sadová to Ostroměř and the beet railway branching off from Hněvčeves to Smiřice took place . Both routes were inaugurated in March 1882.
The Girtler von Kleeborn held Hněvčeves until 1887, after which the goods were transferred to the imperial private fund. In 1897 the parish came to the Nová Paka district . From 1949 to 1960 the community was assigned to the Okres Hořice , since 1961 it belongs to the Okres Hradec Králové. Passenger traffic on the Hněvčeves-Smiřice railway was stopped at the end of 2004.
