timeline

Polsbroek consists of Zuid- and Noord-Polsbroek. The former municipality and today's village (Zuid-) Polsbroek emerged from the glory of the same name (while Zuid-Polsbroek was a high and Vrije Heerlijkheid , Noord-Polsbroek belonged to the barony of IJsselstein as Schoutambacht ).

The glory (Zuid-) Polsbroek bordered in the southeast on the glory Lopik, in the north on the Burggrafschaft Montfoort , in the east on the barony IJsselstein and in the west on the county of Holland . The first lords of Polsbroek had already received high jurisdiction in 1155 through the Utrecht bishop Hermann von Horn Polsbroek . Before this time, the spelling was Pulzabruch , which changed to Pulsebroch in the year of this document . The owners of the hogen of vrijen heerlijkheid van Zuid-Polsbroek carried the title of Vrijheeren or army . The area was a so-called allodial - and high rule . This means that the glory was free inheritable, the rule owner Act speaking power, the High jurisdiction, held that glory was free from feudal obligations and that compared to the Low glories (Low and Medium jurisdiction), also Ambachtsherrlichkeit or basic glory called, not really a legislative Ownership could exist over it.

In the 10th and 11th centuries the gentlemen van Arkel took possession of the area around Polsbroek. In the course of the 12th and 13th centuries, Mr. van der Leede from the Second House of Mr. van Arkel came into the possession of the Glory of Polsbroek. The spelling Polsbroek changed in the course of this century from Pulsebroch to Pusbruch ( 1228-1229 ) and Polsbroic , between 1296 and 1317 , in order to finally change over to the current spelling Polsbroek . The first lords of Polsbroek In 1299 the Dutch count Johan I enfeoffed his regent Wolfhart I of Borsselen with the glory of Polsbroek. In 1391 the tithe of glory amounted to 1,000 guilders per annum. Via the Lords van Woerden van Vliet , Polsbroek also came to the Burgraves of Montfoort from the De Rover family in 1423 . First Jan van Woerden van Vliet Polsbroek with the high and low jurisdiction as well as the ferry from IJselver had pledged to Johan II. Van Montfoort , but had not redeemed his pledge, so that the pledge fell to Montfoort. The Dutch government recognized the sale, but the fief was still formally in 1439 under the name of Jan's son Gerrit ten Vliet. The burgraves of Montfoort were no longer enfeoffed with Polsbroek, so that the property apparently became an allod again. The decades-long attempt by the Burgraves of Montfoort to elevate the territory of (Zuid-) Polsbroek and various surrounding grounds to a sovereign part of the country ultimately failed due to the resistance of Duke Phillipps the Good . Nevertheless, the rule, endowed with many privileges, achieved a semi-sovereign status , which gave it a certain independence from the states of Holland and Utrecht . In 1481 the pro- Hoekse Burgraves of Montfoort Zuid-Polsbroek (and many other low and medium-sized glories) lost to the Lords of Bergen from the House of Glymes .

The Ligne family became their successors as the lords of Zuid-Polsbroek in 1566 , when Maria von Glymes von Bergen bequeathed her property, including those of (Zuid-) Polsbroek, to her son Ludwig von Ligne . In 1555, Zuid-Polsbroek had brought the then owner Johann von Ligne an annual income of 954 guilders , which resulted from income from leases (63%), taxes (17%) and lordly rights such as hunting and fishing rights (20%) . and to the Lignesian House Arenberg (from 1568). This family, namely Karl von Aremberg-Ligne , had sold the glory to Jakob Dircksz de Graeff in 1610 . The Amsterdam rulers De Graeff also called themselves De Graeff van Polsbroek . In 1623 the glory comprised 692 acres and 56 houses. The property tax was not transferred to the Republic of the Seven United Provinces , as was the case with the neighboring barony of IJsselstein, for example , but to the province of Holland.

When the Batavian Republic was proclaimed in 1795, the Vrijheeren van Polsbroek from the De Graeff family had largely forfeited their high rights. In 1798 (Zuid-) Polsbroek came to the department of van de Rijn , in 1802 to the department of Utrecht . Noord-Polsbroek was an independent municipality in the province of Utrecht between 1817 and 1857. In 1840 it had 49 houses and 586 inhabitants. After the founding of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands , the splendid rights were partially restored. In 1819 (Zuid-) Polsbroek came to the province of Utrecht, where it stayed until the end of the glories in 1923 and beyond. In 1857 the two places Zuid-Polsbroek and Noord-Polsbroek were merged to form the municipality of Polsbroek; at that time Polsbroek comprised approx. 84 houses with 875 inhabitants. In 1870 Zuid-Polsbroek was sold to Dirk de Jongh. This had the significantly reduced rights of rule until 1914 (?). At the municipality census in 1989, the municipality had an area of ​​11 km², in which there were 382 houses and 1180 inhabitants. In 2006 the community had 1218 inhabitants spread over 500 houses.

Polsbroek Reformed Church

The townscape of Polsbroek shows a town drawn along both sides of the Benschopsen brook with a small town center in the western part. The center of Polsbroek consists of the former parish hall, the village house and a church of the Dutch Reformed Church , the beginnings of which can be traced back to the 14th century. In Rampjaar 1672 this church was largely devastated by French troops. The new building took place in 1676. On this occasion, Pieter de Graeff as Vrijheer von Zuid-Polsbroek, his brother Jacob de Graeff , the Dutch East India Company , the city administration of Amsterdam and governor Wilhelm III. from Orange-Nassau the church house new glass windows . In 1830 the entire nave was rebuilt. The foundation stone was laid by the then Vrijheer, Gerrit IV de Graeff , who also donated the new church pulpit. For the construction at that time, 2000 guilders were won from the fund for needy churches. The entrance portal was added to the list of Rijksmonumenten .

  4. In 1155, at the request of the canons of the cathedral chapter of St. Marien, the bishop of Utrecht, Hermann von Horn, grants and confirms rights to property, including rights to real estate in Pulsebroch (Polsbroek), jurisdiction and the creation of a drainage ditch, to the members of the Lopik parish, which is subordinate to the chapter partly already at the time of Hermann's predecessor Konrad von Utrecht in the 11th century bought the lords of Haastrecht , and they had ceded them to the bishop for the purpose of transfer. The recipients are the Church of St. Mary and the parochiani of Lopik, so no claims from natural persons or families are established. It is a donation from the bishop as unrestricted property, not an enfeoffment, even if the wording ( in proprietatem cum omni iusticia perpetuo iure, prebatio ) does not seem completely clear. The phrase cum omni iusticia should, however, include the High Jurisdiction . Hermann points out that there was already a local jury court (home councilors).
