history
In the time before the Hussite Wars there was a hunting castle in the forest area. A settlement of shepherds developed around this, from which the village of Svrchní Jelení , later called Horní Jelení , developed. The name arose from the location on a hilltop and the large deer population at the time. To the east of the village, another settlement later appeared, called Spodní Jelení (Dolní Jelení). Both villages formed a closed settlement area in the forest, later Rousínov was added. The first verifiable owner of the Jelení estate was George of Podebrady .
Both villages of Jelení were first mentioned in a document in 1495 when they were sold to Wilhelm II of Pernstein . He had several fish ponds built on the Čermná and Prochodský creeks, of which the Pětinoha, Hanzlíkovec, Horní Pecák and Dolní Pecák have been preserved.
Jaroslav von Pernstein had to sell Horní Jelení to Duke Ernst of Bavaria in 1556 because of indebtedness . Shortly before, probably in 1555, he raised Horní Jelení to a minority . In 1558 Přibík Beneš Sekerka ze Sedčic bought the goods. There has been evidence of a brewery in Horní Jelení since the second half of the 16th century, which also had its own hop growing. In 1573 the knight Heřman Varlich von Bubna and Skášov became the owner of the Jelení manor. The Counts of Bubna and Lititz held the property until 1948. The Městys Horní Jelení received the privilege of holding four annual fairs in 1734.
After the abolition of patrimonial Horní Jelení formed a market town in the Hohenmauth district from 1850 . Franz Joseph I granted the town town charter in 1912 and the right to use its own town coat of arms. In 1929 a new school building was built. 1948 Horní Jelení was assigned to the Okres Holice and the town charter was not renewed. In the same year, after the communists came to power, the Count Bubna was expropriated and the brewery was closed. In 1961 the parish came to Okres Pardubice . In 1994 the Counts of Bubna received their land and forest property restituted. Horní Jelení has been a city again since 2006.
