history

Hokov was created during the Bohemian inland colonization between the 11th and 13th centuries. The name of the village is derived from a personal name Hok or Hocke .

The place was first mentioned in a document in 1386 in connection with Otto von Hokov. Since the end of the 14th century there is evidence of a fortress that was the seat of the Vladiken Hok von Hokov. Owners of the estate from this family were Radislav Racek von Hokov, from 1404 his widow Dorota and Ulrich von Drasovice, and from 1412 to 1413 Jindřich Hess von Hokov. In 1430 Burghard von Šanov bought the estate, followed in 1437 by Dalibor von Hokov. Later, most of Hokov belonged to the Prague burgrave Jan Hokovský, who sold the estate to the Prague colonel Janec von Janowitz in Petersburg in 1483 . He sold Hokov together with Petersburg in the same year to the royal chamberlain Burian von Guttenstein. In 1485 Burian von Guttenstein exchanged the Hokov estate near Ota von Hokov and Hájek von Stebno for other goods. In 1513 Konrad Kuneš von Hokov was registered in the land register as the owner of the Hokov manor, inherited from his father Ota, with the Hokov castle, the farm and the village of Hokov. Later on, Konrad's son Dalibor Kuneš von Hokov lived in the castle with his wife Margarethe von Vchynice and nine servants. After the death of Dalibor, who died young and without descendants, Konrad Kuneš sold the rule to Johann Stampach von Stampach in 1545 . After Johann was knighted, Hokov was a knight's seat for 18 years; During this time, the German colonization of the village took place. His son Adam Stampach von Stampach increased the rule by purchasing the Strojetice estate. His son Wenzel Adam Stampach von Stampach made Strojetice Castle his seat and exchanged the Hokov manor in 1597 with Benedikt Kolowrat- Liebsteinsky for Krty . The captain of the Rakonice district expanded the Hokov manor around 1612 by purchasing the Běsno and Kolešov estates . In 1617 his youngest son Ferdinand inherited the Hokov reign. Ferdinand Kolowrat-Liebsteinsky was an ardent Catholic and, in contrast to most of his close relatives, remained a loyal follower of Ferdinand II during the uprising . Ferdinand II appointed him captain and imperial reform commissioner for the Rakonitzer and Saatzer districts in 1628. Ferdinand Kolowrat lived a lavish lifestyle; When he died in 1648, the Hokau estates were so over-indebted that his daughter Maria Elisabeth could not hold them. In 1652 its curator sold the rule to Johann Sebastian von Pötting. He sold it two years later to Ludmilla Eva Countess von Wolkenstein , née Hieserle von Chodau.

Between August 16 and December 8, 1680, 35 residents died of the plague in Hokau; they were buried outside the village in a communal grave. In 1688 the royal governor in Prague, Johann Peter Hoberg von Hennersdorf bought the rule, three years later his son Johann Friedrich inherited it. This sold Hokau in 1707 to Wenzel Johann Adalbert Walkaun von Adlar († 1722), who had previously owned Zlonice . In 1713, as a result of a serious illness, his wife Marie Claudia Felicitas, née von Aldringen, signed over the property . At that time, Anna Maria Walkaun von Adlar, née Countess von Wallis, also lived in the old castle . In 1716 Georg Olivier von Wallis bought the rule Hokau with the villages Hokau, Dereisen ( Zderaz ) and Woratschen , the Žižkahof ( Čížkov ) and the desert village Geblan ( Keblany ); on May 10, 1717 the purchase was entered in the land table. On July 14, 1717, Georg Olivier von Wallis also acquired the Dekau estate and, in 1724, the Koleschowitz estate. Since 1719, Simon Tischer has been a castle chaplain in Hokau . Georg Olivier von Wallis united the Dekau , Koleschowitz and Hokau estates in 1744 to form Koleschowitz and declared this to be a family entrepre- neurship . In 1744 his son Stephan Olivier of Wallis inherited the property . He had the old castle demolished and in its place the public chapel of St. Build Procopius. In 1780 the chapel was in such bad shape that it had to be demolished. The altarpiece of St. Prokop was brought to the church in Dekau, the other two pictures from the chapel were taken to the churches of Horschowitz and Wießen ( Běsno ). In 1832 Stephan's son Rudolf Olivier Graf von Wallis inherited the property, followed by his son Friedrich Olivier Graf von Wallis in 1838. In 1837 there were 266 Christians and 28 Jews (7 families) in Hokau.

In 1843 Gut Hokau had a usable area of ​​2971 yoke 911 square fathoms. The village of Hokau / Hokow , located on Karlsbader Poststrasse, consisted of 52 houses with 335 German-speaking residents, including five Jewish families. In the place there was an authoritarian farm, a dominikales Hegerhaus and an inn. The parish was Dekau . The residents lived primarily from growing hops. Until the middle of the 19th century, Hokau remained subject to the Fideikommissherrschaft Koleschowitz.

After the abolition of patrimonial Hokau / Hokov formed a community in the Saaz district and Jechnitz judicial district from 1850 . In 1868 Hokau was assigned to the Podersam district . In 1873 the property of Count Friedrich Olivier von Wallis was divided among his seven sons. The Koleschowitz estate with the 140.42 hectare Fideikommisshof Hokau received Karl Graf von Wallis. With his brother Friedrich von Wallis on Hoch-Libin , he founded a company to jointly manage the Koleschowitz and Hoch-Libin estates, which in 1881 had to file for bankruptcy. Schooling took place in Dekau until 1879, then in Chaluppe No. 14, which had been converted into a school. In 1895, 326 people lived in the 58 houses in the village. In 1896 a new school building was inaugurated, the construction costs amounted to 8,000 guilders. In 1900, 312 people lived in the 66 houses in Hokau, six houses were uninhabited. The main source of income was agriculture, in which arable farming and fruit growing dominated. Half of the parish area belonged to the Meierhof of the Counts of Valais. In 1902 a community cemetery was laid out on the slope south of the village. After the establishment of Czechoslovakia, more and more Czech families were settled. In 1930 there were 348 people in Hokau , in 1932 there were 375. After the Munich Agreement , the municipality was added to the German Reich in 1938. In 1939 most of the Czech families from Hokau were expelled to the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia . As a result, the municipality had only 262 inhabitants in 1939. Until 1945 Hokau belonged to the Podersam district . After the end of World War II, Hokov came back to Czechoslovakia; the school was closed in 1945 and the German-speaking residents were expelled the following year . The repopulation with Czechs was only moderately successful. The Okres Podbořany was abolished in 1960, since then Hokov has belonged to the Okres Rakovník . In 1961 Hokov was incorporated into Hořovičky . In 1991 the village had 77 inhabitants; at the 2001 census, 83 people lived in the 50 houses in Hokov.

Hokov is a traditional hop growing area and is surrounded by hop fields.

Landslide

Triggered by underground springs, there was a landslide in Hokau in 1900 , in which house No. 33 and its outbuildings were destroyed. The adjoining house No. 32 was moved two meters, but it remained habitable and was only demolished later. Remnants of the foundation walls of both houses are still visible. The landslide is still in motion.

Local division

The district of Hokov also forms a cadastral district.
