Horní Bukovina (German: Oberbukowin ) is a municipality in Okres Mladá Boleslav , Czech Republic . It consists of the villages Horní and Dolní Bukovina. Both places live mainly from agriculture and together have 205 inhabitants (2008).
geography
The two villages are located 5 kilometers from the town of Mnichovo Hradiště in the floodplain of the Zábrdka , a small tributary of the Jizera , and are regularly affected by floods . The common land consists largely of arable land, 83 hectares are forest. The neighboring towns are in the north Rokytá , Mukařov and Jivina , in the south Bílá Hlína and Klášter Hradiště nad Jizerou . Until 1945, Bukovina was on the Czech-German language border; the neighboring village of Rokytá was already German-speaking.
history
The name suggests that Bukovina was created instead of a cleared beech forest . The village, like other places in the area, was probably laid out by Cistercian monks from the nearby Hradiště monastery at the time of internal colonization in the 12th or beginning of the 13th century , but there are no indications of an older settlement. The monastery was also the first attested rule in the place. The oldest mention in the monastery registers is the date March 10th, 1399. The land register of Hradiště lists 37 subjects in the village of Bukovina around 1400.
The monastery was burned down in 1420. After several changes of ownership, Jiří von Labouň bought part of the former monastery domain in 1556, including the village of Bukovina and the neighboring village of Podbukovina, which was first mentioned on this occasion. These two names are also handed down in a land register entry from 1561. The current official names Horní and Dolní Bukovina only emerged at the end of the 18th century as a translation of the German place names Ober- and Unterbukowin.
The descendants of Jiří von Labouň sold the estate to Václav Budovec z Budova in 1612 . After his execution in 1621, Albrecht von Waldstein bought the land in 1622 . Bukovina remained in the possession of the Waldstein family as part of the Hradiště rule until the labor service was abolished in 1848. The Fronhof was named Kristiánov after Christian Vincenz Ernst von Waldstein (1794-1858), who in 1843 had the dilapidated buildings renovated. The name did not catch on, however, and was forgotten after 1915.
In 1864 the political municipality of Bukovina was formed from the merger of the villages of Bílá Hlína, Habr, Klášter Hradiště and Horní and Dolní Bukovina. In 1920 there was a new division: Bílá Hlína and Klášter Hradiště have been independent since then, only the two villages that bear the name Bukovina belong to the Horní Bukovina municipality.
Horní Bukovina is a member of the Sdružení obcí Středního Pojizeří ( Association of Central Jizera Municipalities ) microregion , which aims to promote tourism and nature conservation.
