history

The first mention was made in 1216 in a document confirming the Prague bishop Andreas von Guttenstein a barter between Bishop Heinrich Břetislav and George of Mulhouse and the transfer of villages Hrejkovice, Dobrotěšice (probably Dobrosov ) and Mimoňovice (probably Níkovice ) to the new Premonstratensian Mulhouse in 1184. The village was originally called Grajkovice and Graycovice , later Reykovice and Rejkovice , respectively. The Mühlhausen monastery was destroyed on April 23, 1420 by the Hussites . In 1421 Matěj Brus von Kovářov was rewarded for his loyal service during the defense of Karlštejn Castle with several goods, including Hrejkovice. The subsequent owners were from 1448 Machna Brusová from Kovářov and from 1455 Jan Předbor from Radešín. This sold Hrejkovice in 1461 to Johann von Rosenberg . Heinrich V von Rosenberg , who had taken over the over-indebted goods in 1472, sold a quarter of the properties of the House of Rosenberg to his cousin Bohuslav V von Schwanberg on September 28, 1473 . After Christoph von Schwanberg died in 1534, the rule of Klingenberg was divided in 1540 , with his second oldest son Johann von Schwanberg receiving the rule of Mühlhausen and making the Kovářov fortress his seat. In 1584 Georg von Schwanberg allocated part of the Klingenberg and Mühlhausen estates, including Hrejkovice, to the Worlik domain . After the battle of the White Mountain , the estate of Peter von Schwanberg was confiscated and in 1622 the Eggenberg owners of the Worlik domain. After the male line of Eggenberg died out in 1717, the Schwarzenberg family inherited their property. In 1837 Hreykowitz or Regkowitz / Hregkowice consisted of 34 houses with 297 inhabitants. There was a mill in the village. The single-layer house Lhota or Lokotka ( Žebračí ) lay apart . The parish was Mühlhausen. School lessons took place in Dmýštice until 1837, after which lessons were held in rented premises in Hreykowitz. In 1848 they moved into their own school house. Until the middle of the 19th century, Hreykowitz remained subject to Fideikommissherrschaft Worlik, including the allodial goods Zalužan, Zbenitz and Bukowan.

After the abolition of patrimonial Hrejkovice formed with the settlement Chlumek from 1850 a municipality in the district administration Písek and the judicial district Mirovice. The schoolhouse soon proved to be too small for the growing number of children in Hrjkovice and Chlumek; In 1895 a new school building was moved into. The volunteer fire brigade was formed in 1896. From 1919 the community belonged to the Okres Milevsko. In 1921 415 people lived in the 72 houses in Hrejkovice. In the course of the land reform in 1924, the Jenišovice farm was parceled out to the residents of Hrejkovice, Níkovice, Dmýštice and Něžovice. In 1930 Hrejkovice consisted of 84 houses and 441 inhabitants. In the course of the abolition of the Okres Milevsko, Hrejkovice was again assigned to the Okres Písek at the end of 1960 . The Chlumek settlement received the status of a district in 1961. Níkovice was incorporated on November 26, 1971 and Pechova Lhota on January 1, 1976.
